Best Horror Anime
The title says it all. Which horror anime freak you out the most?
I don't consider this anime very scary, honestly, it didn't make me feel horrified at all and the deaths didn't get to me either. They were entertaining to watch and surprising since you don't know who's gonna live and who's gonna die, so I'll give the anime that. I mainly liked the last two episodes since everything went to chaos and it just felt... fun! Okay that may sound a bit messed up, but I like murder montages. I still enjoyed the whole anime altogether, the mysteries were good, and to sum this up, the anime isn't that scary except if you're frightened of gore, or if the tense situations got to you.
Arrivederci.
For me it was really scary .
It was acutaly my first horror anime ever .
I was back then 13 .
What was way to young .
The only anime I think was scarier is elfen lied.
I think if you're a real horror fan it's not that scary but if you're not then you should watch it.
It has to a great story and plotline.
Sorry for my bad English
The concept is so cool! Mind you, the deaths will scare the hell out of you. Very gory and bloody, but it adds to the essence, no doubt. The characters are so riveting and the suspense is far too good for words! The music is also very creepy! Loved it!
Although I was kind of disappointed with the reveal of the "extra" and the ending, this anime had a really interesting story all the way through out and some of the most horrifying (and hilarious) deaths in anime. RIP Umbrella girl

I do love horror things, such as Another, Tokyo Ghoul, Higurashi, plenty others. But none of them scared me. Ellen Lied scared me so much, yet it's such a great series. If you're looking for a good horror anime to watch, I totally recommend Ellen Lied, if you want a good scare.
I loved this anime. It's very bloody and gorey, but it's also heartbreaking and sad. I feel bad for all the diclonii and I really hate that organization that they have. It's a very good anime, and if you say it's horrible and that all there is is blood and gore, you only watched 5 minutes of the anime. Finish watching the series
This is one of my favourite anime series of all time. Lucy is amazing my favourite character. The gore is perfectly balanced with the story line. I just wish there was more. The ending disappointed me a little. But is still my favourite...
It may be a bloody anime, but the story is not all violence. The dicloni have wishes and dreams to complete too, but humans just do tests on them and they have nothing, but torture in their lives. The end was especially sad for me!

A survival game for those who are chosen to participate fight to the death and the last standing becomes god and prevents the apocalypse from taking over. Beware of Yuno.
Even though this anime scarred me for life, it's still my favourite anime, up there with Elfen Lied and PMMM.
Truly amazing! So many plot twists it left me wanting more!
Yuno is my spirit animal. She and I are of like mind.

As much as I love Elfen Lied, this show fits the horror genre perfectly. I have watched most of it and it is so creepy. It isn't entirely gore like Elfen Lied but has a really creepy atmosphere keeping the suspense and half way through you can almost predict what will happen. Best horror anime. Recommended by me. ( I haven't actually watched another though )
Season 1 scares and confuses the crap out of you, then Season 2 wraps everything up satisfyingly and beautifully, while still scaring the crap out of you. It's characters are all deep and realistic to some extent and the mystery and story is excellently laid out for us
The best horror anime to ever exist. Has mystery and it's very hard to piece together. It's really scary and deserves to be number 1. Elfen Lied, and Another aren't really horror in my opinion.
A murder mystery that may be confusing, but all is explained as you progress through the series. The torture may be disturbing and freak you out. Shion might freak you out too...

This is my ABSOLUTE favorite anime and I've watched a lot of anime's over my years and this is the most gore one I've ever watched.
I love it and Kaneki is so badass with his white hair and mask!
All we need now is a unsencored version

I suggest with my life this is the scariest series containing four episodes you will ever see. I nearly threw up watching them and actually made me gag several times with guts, gore, and extreme blood and torture! P.S. if you have wattpad, search up Sachiko's Game of Madness! Really bloody but quite good. It is a crossover between Mirai Nikki (The future Diaries) and Corpse party I found. Well, the anime is probably the best horror I have ever seen so go look it up (the anime) it's also a game too!
Watched this at midnight while home alone. It was a mistake. I couldn't go.to sleep. Because I was laughing too hard at the death scenes. Did the same with future diary, another, Higurashi, and Elden Lied. Again, keep in mind that I'm only twelve. I need help.
Good grief... I made a mistake of watching SOME of this... Even the RPG is so scary. I get easily scared of paranormal stuff
Honesty it isn't so bad. In fact I saw all of the deaths on my phone and didn't bat a single eye.

Not traditionally spooky, but certainly has the best story ever for a horror anime. Are you smart enough to predict what will happen before it does? Will you guess what happens at the end before you see it? Make sure Kira does not write your name on the notebook, for otherwise, your time is short.
How? It's a great thriller series, and a great anime in general, but there's nothing about it that makes it a horror.
I love Death Note but it's not a horror. It's suspenseful and mysterious but in no way is it meant to be scary.
Make sure your name is not written on the notebook.

Can't wait to see second series of this totally awesome and gripping anime. Deadman wonderland is so bizzare and so brilliant. Love it.
This anime is so amazing!
This Prison is hell
It is dark and scary
Don't be fool be the park's appearance
It is hell

This one should be higher up on the list. It's
one of my most favorite horror anime

Love it. But it didn't freak me out a whole lot. The second episode was the main one that scared me cause I was watching it when an old man walked on to the front porch and attempted to open the door. I went and got a knife and stood there mentally dating him to open that door and see how long he lasted. Also my second fear is being stalked do it freaked me out anyway.
The animation was great. The music was incredible. The story line towards the end of the season was really good, horror wise. This has become one of my favorite anime of all time.
The first episode is scary as hell! The rest was meh. But the animation was great.
This anime was entertaining and several times had me scared to go into any room alone.
The only anime that left me wanting more,but had the most perfect ending I don't know how they could continue. Love this anime!

The first episode made me feel sick due to its use of gore, but I have to admit it remains one of my favorites. It's relatively disturbing and not for the faint of heart, but it's beautiful and has a nice payoff. It definitely deserves a higher position.
What will Humanity do after an enemy appear who eat humans?
This is something nobody want to see happening to their loved ones...and in this anime, most just prioritize suicide before getting eaten. It's horrible.
This is relatively disturbing. You honestly cannot tear your eyes away. Although you may get used to the gore, you are always excited for the next chomp out of a person. The art is great and really gets the you!
Literally the first episode scares anyone who watches it and it totally scarred me for life. Amazing action and horror, definitely deserves to be in the top ten.

Vampires and Zombies. Am I missing something?

Easily one of, if not the best horror anime out there. It starts off somewhat slow, but the last few episodes are an unforgettable masterpiece that will stick with you and leave you absolutely terrified.
A frikin amazing anime! My 6th favorite of all time! This is a must watch horror anime!
Not scary just stupid

I love devilman. Its probably my favorite anime (both crybaby and the 80s ovas)

How is it a horror? The original was just boring and predictable with nothing interesting about it let alone scary. And the dub was a great comedy, but nothing about it was a horror.

Anime version of The Walking Dead.
It wasn't very scary to be honest but I think it was still pretty good
If you say that this is a anime version of the walking dead then you haven't seen this

A creepy and mysterious psychological horror anime that is (in one word) AWESOME!
It's awesome...! A must watch!


It's just amazing, I watched it in 2 days.
It was really creepy, but the end was so beautiful! I was literally crying..
A must-see anime!
Way better than a lot of the horror animes on here, should be third to elfen lied and future diary.
Screw Tokyo Ghoul. This is obviously better.


This isn't even horror, why did this get mentioned? Sure there may be a few blood scene but it isn't really physiological or gruesome. Great anime in all comparisons but not scary
WHAT THE CRAP?!?! What the heck is this on here for?!?! This is not a horror it's just depressing
Most beautiful anime I've ever seen.
This anime was amazing!

I am scared forever. Nothing can terrify me more than this anime. I can't sleep at nights because of this. Its very traumatic. Watch at your own risk!
With all honesty I respect this anime as a form of artistic expression as it says at the beginning of every episode. I don't personally like it but you could show some respect by taking it off the list
This is the most terrifying anime out there. The other animes don't come close! I had to watch the opening as a dare...
I was SH00K
Scariest thing ever. I heard audio of it because I was watching pewdiepie react to it and... Yeah awkward scary
