Higurashi, Blood+, School Days.
Higurashi is not a horror anime ;__; Well, I know it's so scary but it really is something different than a horror anime. And if you can't understand "the message" you probably will say "what a boring anime." Anyways.
Horror;
Monster - Classic.
Hellsing - Classic and very short. You should watch Hellsing Ultimate too.
Mononoke - Well, it's not that scary but uhh kinda mysteric. Also weird animation style.
Berserk - Classic. Old styled animation.
Another - Currently airing. Maybe you should watch this first.
Elfen Lied - Kinda romantic, kinda dramatic. But it's a "must see" anime. (Vext ;_;)
Ayakashi - Man this is just.. amazing. Horror stories, also includes "Mononoke" chapter.
Gantz - This is just <3 Well I don't know if you like reading manga but you should read its manga. Anime includes first 80 chapters (or so) of manga. Also it's a seinen O/ (and there is a second season)
Shiki - Animation is good. Story is good. Ending is good. Musics are good. Characters are good. I'm sure you will like this one.
Movie suggestions;
Perfect Blue - Satoshi Kon. I can't say anything about this. MUST SEE. MUST MUST SEE.
Paprika - Satoshi Kon + Susumu Hirasawa = Classic. Kinda fantastic, kinda enjoyable and kinda scary. "This is your brain on anime." enough said.

K-ON and it's sequel definitely qualify as horror.

K-ON is something more than horror. Seriously.

People recommended Another, the 3rd episode confirms it's something close to horror.
Well I'm hoping that there will be no goreshits in Another.MarcusTH wrote:

I remember watching a k-on amv with the song chikai...
Bokurano and Narutaru - not exactly horror but worth a watch.
There's always End of Evangelion, lol.

Tokko, High school of the death or Shiki
Another. Gyo the OVA
^ this. Although I don't know any anime strictly "scary". Maybe Higurashi, or Jigoku Shoujo? Those are more suspense than anything though.vwxcrossover wrote:

Definition of Horror: Horror films are a movie genre seeking to elicit a negative emotional reaction from viewers by playing on the audience's most primal fears.
I think "Another" fits it pretty well.

Hmm alot of you are suggesting Another.
I'll make sure to check on that ^^

Another. bur i think Another is full of guro scene, not really horror at all.
Guro is only used when referring to hentai/ero. Not anime.ritaniner wrote:

Another wasn't scary, but it's hard to find horror anime these days. You can say atleast it has a scary theme/setting to it.
anything with the realistic character design with the dark story/plot/etc are considered by horror to me.
Another certainly seems a lot like a proper horror anime rather than a murder mystery anime posing as a horror anime.
Another is simply a true horror anime. Go ahead and check it out.

Red Garden works as an urban horror tale. Don't look into the supernatural elements all that much, though.
I will always suggest Shiki. Truly slow-boil horror.

Another is, unfortunately, pretty dumb. It has a good atmosphere over the first few episodes, but then it becomes Final Destination: The Anime, with a "mystery" that's only hard to figure out because you are given an abundance of information but not several critical pieces that are necessary to solve it. The characters behave unrealistically even within the acceptable boundaries of the medium, to the point where their fates left me completely uninterested.
But since it's so short, you might as well watch it and see what I'm talking about.

You've read my mind. I also said the same damn thing to friends of mine.Sinistro wrote:

Oh, and there Higurashi and Umineko added to horror (Not sure if Umineko counts but there is some killing involved)
