Action Horror combines the elements of your regular features of horror such as evil forces and supernatural beings with gunshots and frantic chases that can be found in action packed movies. This, in my opinion, creates a movie that has something happening all time, making it more interesting than a regular horror movie.
Body Horror is the sub-genre which focuses on the graphic destruction/degeneration of bodies. Other forms of body horror include unnatural movements or incorrectly placed limbs to create monsters.
Comedy Horror combines the elements of both genres to create a film. However, its not regular comedy that you find in Romantic movies but rather 'black comedy' which is a lot darker and the focus is more on humour that is based on terrifying people.
Gothic Horror at times may have aspects of romance, which unfolds during the film in a suspenseful way. Some of the earliest horror movies came under the sub-genre.
Natural Horror normally includes mutilated beasts, carnivorous insects and animals/plants turned into cold blooded killers. Sometimes it may overlap with science fiction.
Psychological Horror is a science-fiction sub-genre often including killer aliens, mads scientists and/or an experiment gone wrong.
Slasher Horror often revolves around a psychotic killer who kills a sequence of victims a graphic/violent manner, often with a cutting tool such as knife or an axe.
Splatter Horror focuses on the graphic use of gore and violence. Using special effects and excessive use of blood and guts. They show an over the top interest in the vulnerability of the human body and its mutilation.
