Two of the episodes in that landmark sci fi show very much fell into the horror category. Both written by none other than “Psycho” author Robert Bloch.
The first was “Catspaw”, which aired October 27, 1967.
Captain Kirk and his landing party beam down to Pyrus VII, where they encounter witches, zombies, and even a black cat.
The second was “Wolf In the Fold”, which aired December 22, 1967.
On the planet Argelius II , Scotty is accused of Jack The Ripper style murders.
Bloch had previously written two Jack the Ripper short stories, “Yours Truly, Jack the Ripper” and “A Toy For Juliette”.
So if you want some horror in your Star Trek stories, check these two episodes out.
