Relatedly, I think the uncanny relies on a degree of uncertainty or ambiguity. The more concrete a threat is, the less uncanny it feels, IMO. And there are certain themes and motifs which are strongly associated with the uncanny: repetition, returning/looping, doubling/mirroring, unalive figures and bodies... Over all I would say that the uncanny is one shade or flavour of horror, rather than something separate.
