Jaws was definitely pure horror. It just doesn't fit the bill of being what most people associate with the genre, like ghosts and psycho slashers, but if you were old enough during that time then you know that that movie (and the book too) hit home in the horror department like few others.
Alien would be both sci-fi and horror. There's a scene where they are in some long tube-like passage, and at a choice moment the alien appears, his jaws open, teeth slathering. In the theater I was in several girls literally pissed in their seats.
All classic horrror in my book.
