not really, none of these are exclusively related to east or west (though there may be recognizable movements within, aka 'waves')
it seems a bit difficult to find a decent classification of horror movie sub-genres, so i'll post a literary classification that may be detailed enough:
with detailed descriptions:Aliens
Creepy Kids
Cross Genre
Cutting Edge
Dark Fantasy
Dark Fiction
Erotic
Extreme (splatterpunk, viceral)
Fabulist
Gothic (English gothic, southern gothic)
Hauntings

Lovecraftian (Cthulhu mythos, etc.)
Media tie-in (Dark Shadows novels, etc.)
Mind Control
Noir
Supernatural (demons, zombies, etc.)
Paranormal {investigators}
Psychological (surreal)
