I personally don't think the SciFi Horror is a really popular theme because, when trying to really unnerve someone, it's best to work with something that is very familiar or plausible. Saying there was an experiement gone wrong somewhere was one thing, but anything more than that can really stretch what the reader is willing to believe, diminishing the fear they could feel from it.
