I have a browse in The Penguin Encyclopedia of Horror and the Supernatural (Ed Jack Sullivan) for the same reason. Some of the opinions I don't altogether trust either - but there's a multitude of contributors such as Tom Disch, Leslie Fiedler, Ramsay Campbell, Whitley Strieber - and it covers everything from poetry to film to music with entries on Shelley, Bartok, Baudelaire and Piranesi as well as the usual suspects. It's a bit old now, my edition is 1986, so I don't know if you can still get it.
