Thanks though ill def look into these.
It's a very very blurry line and The Shining counts as both. It counts as horror mainly because of the supernatural ambiguity and dread. I'd say that the genres are different in that thrillers are suspenseful while horror is suspenseful in addition to being scary, revolting, disorienting, etc. Or they're intended to be, at least.
