Alien is definitely horror.

Aliens is not.

I agree with TC. I think too many movies are classified as horror when they shouldn't be. I'd go as far as saying post-apocalyptic undead movies aren't horror either. 28 Days Later, Dawn of the Dead, etc. are interesting movies but shouldn't be considered horror.
Horror needs to make you feel scared.

The problem there is that different people are scared by different things. Things you don't find scary may terrify the shit out of other people, and things that leave you a gibbering wreck might leave me bored and calling you a pussy. And that's not even getting into arguments about whether or not bullshit jumpscares count, since they don't really make you "scared" as much as they just startle you.

By the strict interpretation of your definition, horror movies don't actually exist.
