Watching a thread develop where people are debating the difference between horror and sci-fi, where it's pretty obvious many posters are ignorant of both.
I don't particularly see horror as a specific genre. it's more like an emotional affect or tone of a particular piece within a genre. how would you distinguish horror genre (if there is such a thing)?

Pretty much as you have done. Horror is a genre that seeks *primarily* to create an emotional effect. Sci-fi is a genre that seeks *primarily* to create an intellectual one. Both sometimes do both things, the one effect used to to suppor the other.
