If I ever finish Clute's The Darkening Garden then surely I will have all the answers :)
When I read horror, I expect one or the more of the following emotional responses: dreadful suspense, fear, or revulsion. The emotions I'm most likely to experience are dreadful suspense and/or revulsion.
I think it's fine to not really have an answer for why you love horror. At best, all one could do is describe what one enjoys about horror. At worst, one could visit a therapist for the truth :)
