Horror vs. Everything other genre???

In today's modern film, the people of today constantly categorizes Frankenstein films as a Horror genre. If the film is in the Horror genre, should the novel be considered the same? Did Shelley really wanted to illustrate a Horror or as another literary element (Tragedy Comedy, Romance, etc.)? Does the modern Frankenstein fit the characteristics of the one written in 1818?

    If the film is in the horror genre, the novel does not necessarily have to be considered the same. I perceived the book as a tragedy more than horror because of the failed attempt by Frankenstein to create life. Also because of the consequences that surfaced as a result such as his illness, the death of his loved ones, etc....I think there are both, similarities and differences, in the characteristics of the modern and old Frankenstein.
