I mostly think of Ravenloft as gothic fantasy. Undead, the inevitability of death and bleak fate of mortals. It has the trappings of gothic horror, but is almost never actually gothic horror. I don't really think of it as a horror setting any more than the Hammer films are actually horror films. I don't think D&D is a good system for horror. The PCs are too tough.
