Erotic horror

Dracula by Bram Stoker is an early example of erotic horror literature[1][2]

Erotic horror, alternately called horror erotica or dark erotica, is a genre of fiction in which sensual or sexual imagery are blended with horrific overtones or story elements for the purpose of sexual titillation.[3] Horror fiction of this type is most common in literature and film. Erotic horror films are a cornerstone of Spanish and French horror.
