In honor of Halloween, I want to know what your favorite horror-themed anime is. I'm going with Blood+ and Boogiepop Phantom.

Hmmm.....

Boogiepop Phantom, Narutaru, Requiem From The Darkness, Berserk, Monster, Kurozuka.

Going to watch some more Horror Anime. (Planning on watching When They Cry soon).

Aoi Bungaku
Higurashi

are both two series that I really enjoy that are horror-themed. They're above and beyond the other horror anime I've seen so far. Monster is nice, but I honestly consider it more of a mystery series.

Though I will say the scariest thing I've seen wasn't an anime, it was the manga Ibitsu. Scared the pants off of me. I'm also fond of the manga Bizenghast for horror.

Blood the last vampire
Blood+
Ergo proxy

Probably Shiki for specifically horror vein. Though I am enjoying Blood+ a ton so far. Not sure what else I've seen that would count as horror.

Blood: The Last Vampire and When They Cry are right up there for me, and so's Madoka Magica if it counts.

Uh, I thought Ergo Proxy was cyberpunk, not horror.

Blood+, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust and Hellsing for my vampire fix

Boogiepop Phantom for my creepy sci-fi fix

and Mononoke for...I don't know what it is.

Macross Zero is probably the most horrific show I've ever seen.

It usually isn't considered horror, but I can see how it can be considered to have horror elements. It's kind of like Blood+ like that- it's there in the background most of the time or not that obvious. Actually, when I think about it, if I were reviewing Ergo Proxy, I would consider putting it in the horror genre because of certain elements it has. I wouldn't put Blood+ anywhere near the horror genre because the vampire thing is used merely to give a twist on the action genre, not to scare the viewer.

You win ten bajillion points for mentioning an awesome anime I forgot that totally counts here.

Hmmm....

Ghost Hunt is pretty good (still need to finish it). I also love xxxHOLiC, but I'm not sure if that really qualifies as a horror anime (it can be more of a dark comedy sometimes, actually). But I think it qualifies enough? It can get pretty freaky sometimes, especially in xxxHOliC Kei!
