Side bar, my coworker and I have a continuous debate over whether Predator is a horror movie or not. He vehemently opposes the idea but I think if there's a scene where an alien rips a spinal cord and skull from a human body then you can safely assume what you're watching is a horror movie.
SCI FI horror is definitely a thing... from the ALIEN series to HELLRAISER IV BLOODLINES, JASON X, and tons of other examples. I think you can qualify it.
