In my opinion, when I have thought of horror, it has been films such as Halloween, TCM, Black Christmas, The Burning, Hellraiser, and all the Friday the 13th, Elm Street films,etc. The other films you(and I) listed such as The Shining, Misery, Se7en, etc. I would most definitely label as suspense/drama.
One film I am surprised to see people label as horror is Exorcism of Emily Rose. Where's the horror? Most of the film is spent inside of a courtroom, and I most definitely classify that film as drama.
