I think sex in horror movies completely has to do with the tone and plot of the film. If it's an exploitation film--definitely! Ghost movie, maybe not so much.

That whole "only the virgin survives" and the "if you do drugs and have sex you will get gutted" themes that were really popular in the 80's, stems from the old Production Code (movies before 1934 were actually pretty racy). The MPAA was still new at trying to get their ratings right during the 80's, as the PG-13 rating didn't even come out until 1984.
