For me, there's a distinct difference between something that is horror and something that is horror-themed. Horror-themed uses elements of horror like window dressing; see, Hotel Transylvania. Horror is meant to actually scare you. They're technically under the same genre but I don't consider them to be remotely similar in terms of the emotions they're trying to provoke. To me, Castlevania is horror-themed much more than it is horror.

I agree with this, but neither of them actually has ownership over the word horror.
