Genre problem: Are Horror and Animation non compatable genres?
Why were these genre submissions not accepted?

The answer to the question in the subject heading of your post is "no." There are currently 12,641 titles that have both the Horror and Animation genres.
Looks like you are trying to add the Horror genre to these titles. It is debatable whether Horror belongs on these titles -- I can see both sides of the debate.
The genres on these titles have likely been "protected" after IMDb has cycled back and forth in a tug of war between contributors as to whether the Horror genre belongs on them. I often see similar protections on very popular titles that are in the gray area as to certain genres.

The staff apparently does not consider Caroline to be Horror, but I would request to know why? How does it NOT meet IMDb's guidelines? (Also asking for the other titles mentioned above.). Can a film not be both Horror AND Fantasy?
