Fassbinder makes the type of film that most people(me included) find just too slow and long-winded, but if you're in the mood for a late night coffee fueled different vibe he has made some quality cinema, but for me people like Takeshi Kitano make far more involving films that are much more enjoyable and in some cases just as deep and multi-layered as Fassbinder, I don't think any Fassbinder could be described as belonging to the horror genre either.

(there is a Monty Python sketch satirizing French cinema with two people talking endlessly on top off a rubbish-tip, always made me think of Fassbinder.)
