On my own website (click link in my signature to see for yourself), I have them broken down in to the following sub-genres....

Zombie Horror (Cemetary Man, Dawn of the Dead, etc...)
Vampire Horror (Dracula 2000, The Lost Boys, etc...)
Slasher Horror (Halloween, Friday the 13th, etc...)
Creature Horror (The Fly, The Blob, Jeepers Creepers, etc...)
Werewolf Horror (Dog Soldiers, Ginger Snaps, etc...)
Hillbilly Horror (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Wrong Turn, etc...)
Occult Horror (The Wicker Man, Rosemary's Baby, etc...)
Vehicular Horror (Duel, Christine, Trucks, etc...)
Ghost Stories (Stay Alive, The Messengers, Poltergeist, etc...)
Psychological Horror (Session 9, In the Mouth of Madness, Cube, etc...)
Horror Comedy (Shaun of the Dead, Scary Movie, Bad Taste, etc...)

I also have 'B' Quality Horror & Horror Classics (refering mainly to black & white horror) listed seperately from all the other sub-genres.

Of course, it's all subjective to the viewers opinion so there could never really be an 'official' list.
