No, just having a certain monster or element does not make it horror, the reason they are called "horror romance" or "horror comedy" is simply for convenience IMO, to indicate what sorts of elements are contained within. In a way it works because such elements much more often than not originate from horror.
âThe Fright Night remake is a film which taps into the audienceâs deepest rooted fears, such as those of vampires throwing motorcycles at them. I dread the thought of a vampire throwing a refrigerator or a deskjet printer or... Iâd better stop before I give myself nightmaresâ
