Mirai Nikki, not really horror but if you like higurashi then you'll like it
Ghost Hunt. You'll freak the shit out of your pants. (and shit in them)
Gantz, Hellsing, and K-ON?

Proper horror anime recommendations are as follows with some random inclusions:
- Ayakashi - sort of crap in some story plot holes.
- Beserk - old but good.
- Blood-C - if you can stomach bad anime give this a try.
- Blood+ - vampire theme with a different outlook on the whole thing.
- Claymore - a must see.
- Deadman Wonderland - Has another season in the works but even just what is shown is worth it.
- Gantz - worth the watch just to say you've seen it at least.
- Ghost Hunt - enjoyable.
- Hellsing - watch all of this, classic.
- Highschool of the Dead - think zombie horror from a high schooler's perspective, slap in some fan service (high dosage of course) and there you go.
- Jigoku Shoujo - this and its two sequels and very good to see.
- Kemonozume - put the art style aside if it's not your thing and there's a very nice story to follow.
- Monster - nothing needs to be said, watch it.
- Mnemosyne: Mnemosyne no Musume-tachi - just a warning that this is very mature...
- Ookami Kakushi - really iffy about 'recommending' this title but it might be something to watch.
- Shiki - another vampire themed anime but was done really nicely to portry a, "What will happen next?" feeling throughout the series.
- Shikabane Hime: Aka - an interesting take on the undead theme; wont go into details as that would spoil it. It does have a sequel which polishes up the storyline nicely.
- Shingetsutan Tsukihime - another must-see title.
- Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpucho: Tou - School kids with magically tuned powers fighting against the forces of darkness, etc.
- Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust - decent vampire flick.
- Edit1 -
Just one more I forgot to include from this season itself:
- Another - from just the first two episodes it has already given off a very nice eerie feeling with correct use of lull audio segments.
Just a side note, do not bother watching Elfen Lied as its anime adaptation was abysmal at best with more focus on gore and tits than the actual storyline plot which was a decent read.
All of the anime names are hot-linked to their respective MyAnimeList pages.
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:
Plot:
SPOILER
26 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.
Elfen Lied fits I suppose, and is a must see if you haven't already, though unlikely.

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.

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.
