To say that all of horror is a subgenre of fantasy would be incorrect, however some horror flicks could be considered that but they're hybrids. Fantasy implies supernatural elements or magic; so Paranormal Activity is fantasy but… in order to categorize a movie you have to look at what it's primary goal is. Is the object of the film to scare you? Or is it to put you into a world of mystics and magic?
"The conquest of fear lies in the moment of its acceptance. And understanding what scares us most is that which is most familiar, most common place"
