School Days doesn't remotely count as horror. Just because of the ending doesn't make it so. Hell, the ending doesn't even qualify, as it'd just be more of a thriller than anything else.
Higurashi counts due to its adherence to genre traditions, openly embracing them and making them its own. Umineko counts as a horror/murder-mystery in the visual novel, but the anime does not due to its neglect towards the atmosphere that makes horror what it is.
So, Higurashi? Very blatant horror. School Days and Umineko (in anime form)? Not so much.

A new one just came out about 2 weeks ago, called "Another." Mystery-horror, and designs by Noizi Ito (from Haruhi Suzumiya and Shakugan no Shana.) I haven't watched it yet, but I'm planning to.
Plot:SPOILER26 years ago, in a third-year classroom of a middle school, there was a student named Misaki. As an honors student who was also good at sports, the charming girl was popular with her classmates. When she suddenly died, her classmates decided to carry on as if she was still alive until graduation. Then, in the spring of 1998, a boy named Kōichi Sakakibara transfers to that classroom, and he grows suspicious of the fearful atmosphere in that classroom. In particular, there is a beautiful, aloof girl named Misaki Mei who wears an eyepatch and is always alone drawing pictures.
Yeah! Another is a scary anime...

Seems like these are redundant in this topic:
- Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (and all of it's series)
- Another
- Umineko no Naku Koro ni
Yes, those above are good, but I suppose horror seekers must have already know about them. And also...
-School Days
Why's that horror? The ending is, but not the entire anime.

One episode doesn't make it a horror anime.
Plus,there is just gore and a lots of blood in the last episode, what is horror about that?
Lain isn't horror also, but it is very good and deserve to be watched.

I'd suppose everyone (who're watching it) were shocked with the fact there's blood in an adaptation of an eroge visual novel. (Hell, there's blood in that thing as well)Mantiz wrote:

If someone is searching for blood, might want to search for "Gore" instead of "Horror". Horror is where even the atmosphere is killing you.
Should check out Monster, quite a long series but definitely worth the watch, as is Ghost hunt, a must watch

And that is why School Days isn't a horror anime even in the last episode.
If you loved Higurashi and Umineko you will probably enjoy Mirai Nikki.
Also, it's not a real horror, but Elfen Lied has a very heavy atmosphere and a lot of strong scenes.

True, but I really don't feel them as much as Higurashi though (probably because of the fanservice, and I'm looking it through the manga side).Accelerator-kun wrote:

That's because Higurashi make you love all characters, then when they suffer you feel it twiceThe Ribbon Red wrote:

Oh god, it's true. They show the cute side first to make you love them, then traps you and begin torturing them in each arcs.Accelerator-kun wrote:

Isn't ecchi present in Higurashi as well? If not, I may give it a try.
Eh, it did? Never noticed. There's fanservice, but I've never watched any kind of ecchi in it.Mantiz wrote:

Then again, I haven't finished it yet.
I just watched one episode, so I am not a reliable source.
But since it is a harem anime, makes sense to have some ecchi.
Although I doubt it is in the same level as Elfen Lied; The ecchi in this anime is ridiculous.

Well, I guess this one's a rare case. It's more on gore and mystery (much more intense mystery) rather than H (So far as episode 9, and that's about 3 arcs already).Mantiz wrote:

Elfen Lied again? Are we really searching for horror or H?Mantiz wrote:

Uh... I am not saying Elfen Lied is a horror anime.
It is, like the last episode of School days, just a big bunch of gore, violence and lots of fanservice.

Higurashi is more like a kawaii horror <3 not so ecchi, except for the higurashi no naku koro ni kiraMantiz wrote:

There is fanservice but no ecchi (except for a bit in the OAVs). But it's not the usual fanservice. Believe me, without the funny side, Higurashi isn't Higurashi. It create a special connection between you and the protagonists, you will agree with me after watching it.Mantiz wrote:

If you want a proof of it's quality, bah, if I say that I love Higurashi more then everything in anime/manga/novels area?

Wow, it's Higurashi all the way!
Maybe it's time to search for other horror anime?

Oh well, as soon as I finish re-watching Nurarihyon no Mago, I'll give Higurashi a try.

Actually I'm watching only to see it animated, since I've read the manga already.

Not sure if I can call Highschool of the Dead "horror".
LOL, too much fanservice on a silver plate to be called Horror IMO.Toki Hakurei wrote:

Now I know Hokuto no Ken is more of an action-oriented anime, but its first movie had a lot of very disturbing uncensored guro.
Though gore is a part of Horror, it isn't the main theme of it. The point of Horror is to create delusions of your fears through the vague information that's given through the story. Kind of a continuous shock.
