And that would make the game "survival" as it is in the original Japanese name for the series(Survival Kids).

Now add constant assault and mortal threat by malicious supernatual evil and you will get the compound genre survival-horror as well.

OH, you mean like zombies? okay.

Zombies is one way it could be done.

Then there are possessed/spirits like in Alan wake. Then there are deranged killers like in Clock Tower. Then there are demons like in Alone in the Dark. Then there are simple monsters like in Silent Hill. Then there are traps and wild life like in Penumbra.

Zombies are the most popular way to to provide danger in survival horror games, and people will always make that correlation, like it or not.

Zombies themsleves don't make anything horror. There were zombies in the Legend of Zelda: Ocrarina of Time, Final Fantasy, Castlevania, Plants vs Zombies and Time Splitters 2 but none of those games are horror.
