I don't know. The greatest horror says something about our current fears: Godzilla and the atomic age.
I think (if done right) there could be a good horror story based on a slowly spreading problem, with the people in power arguing about its reality, then arguing about whether we could do anything about it as the problem grows worse and worse and worse until it is too late.
Think about how in The Day After, the first chunk of the movie showed people going about their daily lives while in the background there were news reports of a building conflict.
And of course there is the This Is Fine strip.
