No, ALL of mine had a lot of elements of horror. Some of yours do, a couple were mentioned, and a few are just confusing. Donkey kong? Mario World?
Earthworm Jim has a couple elements but I didn't list that because it really didn thave enough, just an evil cat and some cool music when you fought him. Rock N' Roll Racing I almost listed because of the characters. Obviously D&D games include monsters of all kinds. Bomberman and Sonic are just silly...
Oh well, just my opinion.

I wasn't specifically referring to your list, actually.
I saw that there were some non-horror titles going on, so I added as such.
Donkey Kong = Well...was King Kong not considered horror at some point? Giant monstrous ape and all? DK had the same, and a bunch of at least 20+ types of different "monsters" of the creepycrawly variety. I think the ape alone gets this one.
I didn't mention Mario World, I mentioned Marioland 2, which has ghosts, and a haunted castle level towards the end with the first appearance of Wario, which was something like a mutated goblin...
Bomberman had ghosts, and suicide bombers, it was pretty tense.
Sonic - tell me you didn't feel an sense of impending doom in the underwater and lava levels...ok, maybe it wasn't "horror", but it had the same effect at times IMO.
Earthworm Jim I agree on. The Hell Level, the freaky bosses...etc.
But, I'm willing to sort out my list a LITTLE.
Shining Force
Bomberman World
Operation Bodycount
Donkey Kong (Gameboy version)
D&D: Shadows over Mystaria
Quest for Glory series
Ghostbusters on Genesis
Time Killers
Broken Sword (One day I'd like to play them all)
Shadow of the Beast
MarioLand 2: 6 Golden Coins
Wonderboy in Monsterland
Dino Crisis 2
Earthworm Jim
Cadillaics & Dinosaurs
Crypt Killers
B.A.A.L
Soleil - Cool eerie feel, good atmo and music.
How 'bout "earthbound", mutant alien invasion storyline, definately horror-ish, even though full of comedy.
Space Gun
Demons Crest
