It had elements that could be considered scary to young children.

My cousin couldn't watch the beginning fight scene because the drums scared him to much. Also I think the first one had some horror elemants with the ring wraths.

The war drums scared him, same when they were in the tunnel and the goblins drums started playing after the sound from the well.

Not really, no. It was just a normal fantasy for the most part. Doubly so since most threats could be fought as opposed to in horror where the traditional defenses are running and hiding.

Granted, the dark settings with things like the Watcher-in-the-Water and the forests with giant, killer spiders *have* appeared in horror films. However, they're also well at home in fantasy.

Many of the scenes (especially with the villains like Ring Wraiths, Uruk Hai, etc, are shot like a horror film would be shot.

Peter Jackson is a horror director as well

I tried to watch a Lord of the Rings movie through but couldn't finish it.

I remember it sticking out to me as a kid because it was the first non-documentary film that I actually could not bear to sit through. SO boring.
