Very roughly, my personal metric as an admin for what's ok or not on the forum is "does propagating/normalising this content hurt a) specific members of this community and b) folks in a wider sense?"
When it comes to horror I'm personally a huge weenie so I'm no dang good at the stuff, but some people doubtless feel the same way about genres/literary styles I'm into. For horror particularly, I've got no beef with it, provided it's done thoughtfully to avoid the tropes/genre conventions rooted in ableism/racism/other "othering" of marginalised folks. While gore is going to be a thing some people don't want to look at it doesn't fall under those dodgy areas I mentioned, so if you give people enough warning so they can choose to avoid it it should be fine.
Bonus: Some adventures on here that are horror or have horror elements that come to mind are:
Superego, Nononightmare (image links in the thread broken on those sorry because Dropbox hates us), All Night Laundry, The Human Game, Lucidstuck, Alabaster, and Vox Mentis

peace to the unsung peace to the martyrs | i'm johnny rotten appleseed
clouds is shaky love | broke as hell but i got a bunch of ringtones
eyes blood red bruise aubergine | Sue took something now Sue doesn't sleep | saint average, day in the life of
woke up in the noon smelling doom and death | out the house, great outdoors
staying warm in arctic blizzard | that's my battle 'til I get inanimate | still up in the same clothes living like a gameshow
