I notice a few people listed Ray Bradbury. I've always considered his work to be more science fiction than horror.

In my opinion, a good deal of Bradbury's work could be classified as horror, or even "light" horror. He isn't outright scary or gruesome, but a lot of his stories have an underlying, unsettling creepiness to them that I think would place them in the horror genre. Even if it's just barely. :)
