I think that "gore" could be classified as a sub-genre of horror just as you'd classify any other sub-genre (horror-comedy, thriller, supernatural) under the horror banner. Yet I don't necessarily think gore on it's own merits a horror label. I usually use the scene in the bathroom from the movie "Drive" as an example, it can be classified as a pretty graphic gore scene yet I wouldn't label it as horror at all.
