I am new here, I joined for a bit of research and possibly posting a thread relating to my research (The Voice in Horror films) - but my background is theory/philosophy. I'd just like to say that a would be very excited to have a thread devoted to the more theoretical side of horror.
With regards to journals - I think journals always need someone with good expertise, be it literary theory, film theory, philosophy, cultural studies, psychology, psychoanalysis etc - all of these can be applied to horror but I think you will have more luck getting published if you start by analysing horror from one of the above subjects positions. And then find a journal of that topic that has an issue devoted to aligning themes.
