I've seen this opinion multiple times on Twitter and it confuses me. Are you wanting 'horror' or are you wanting 'spooky aesthetics', Victorian period dramas or mystery-themed theater for example? It's a tad bizarre to complain about existentialist-based horror, what with it having been around forever and being a major cornerstone of both the horror genre and the human psyche in general. Gore isn't a recent trend either; it comes and goes in varying levels of viscera and popularity but yeah, it certainly isn't a new or modern feature in either cinema, art, or culture. Both existentialism and gore relate to the nightmare of death - the defining element of horror.

Psychological and/or supernatural thrillers might yield what you're looking for instead but both of those genres also often dabble heavily in matters relating to the physical or metaphysical fear of death. If not those genres, perhaps it's best to ignore recent film trends altogether and watch older cinema, especially from around the world and from different cultures.

This!

And I don't like gore at all, so watching older horror cinema is always a great change of pace from having to look away whenever I think something gruesome will go down in more modern horror films.

There's nothing wrong with wanting spooky aesthetics

But also, there's absolutely horror movies that aren't either gorefests or existential arthouse horror

This. Ghost stories exist. Non-gory monster horror exists. It's absolutely absurd to suggest that someone who doesn't want splatterpunk or nebulous existential dread doesn't really want horror. It's like saying you're not a true horror fan if you don't like vampires.
