(s) Horror Anime Recommendations

[oddish]

Elfen lied
Shiki
Another
Deadman wonderland
Ghost hunt
Jujutsu kaisen
Higurashi When They Cry


They're not all exclusively horror
But there's horror feeling vibes to them all at some point

[Rhymes with Witch]

Seconding Shiki, Deadman Wonderland and Ghost Hunt. Would also suggest Goblin Box (Mōryō no Hako), whose anime character designs are by CLAMP.

OMW I did not even know anime had horror, learn something new every day

@(you need an account to see links) , i see nobody mention about Yami Shibai / Yamishibai (Theatre of Darkness / Japanese Ghost Stories) , it tells a story every chapters currently ongoing at season 12. Not sure if it suits your taste but at least it fits the category i think xD

Another 2 i could think of would be : Jigoku Sensei Nūbē ( an old sch less horror but kinda more on exorcist demons with his demon hands ) & Death Parade

Ohhh I like it being split up by chapter! I love when it’s just easy to consume/binge because I’m usually watching several other animes in tandem haha. Is Death Parade the one with the elevators?? I always get some of these mixed up.

Monster (Naoki Urasawa) for sure. It's a slow burn, but so thoughtful and thought-provoking. I believe the Anime version is on Netflix and is nearly 1:1 with the Manga.

Some that haven't been mentioned:

Dororo
Japan's sengoku period setting, a boy has to get his body parts back by killing demons.

Dorohedoro
Post-apocalyptic future setting with sorcerers and a guy trying to remember who he is.

Gakkou Gurashi!
Modern setting, plot twist on ep 1 not sure how much to say without spoiling it
