Best horror anime IMO
A list of the best horror anime... that that I've seen - There will likely be horror in the list as well, perhaps I will make a separate Sci-fi list at some point.
*Darker than black, Ergo proxy, Hellsing Ultimate, Parasyte Maxim, When/Cry, Shiki, and Another... are on my watchlist - any more suggestions would be appreciated, I surely must be missing some?!
Thanks for reading! I'll update it as life goes by..

- CreatorGorô TaniguchiIchirô ÔkouchiStarsJun FukuyamaTakahiro SakuraiJohnny Yong BoschAfter being given a mysterious power to control others, an outcast prince becomes the masked leader of the rebellion against an all-powerful empire.Not really 'horror' as such, but it share's more similarities with psychological horror, than action or sci-fi. So here it is! (It's excellent)
- StarsMamoru MiyanoBrad SwaileVincent TongAn intelligent high school student goes on a secret crusade to eliminate criminals from the world after discovering a notebook capable of killing anyone whose name is written into it.
- CreatorGen UrobuchiStarsKana HanazawaMiyuki SawashiroNoriko HidakaBelieving in humanity and order, policewoman Akane Tsunemori obeys the ruling, computerized, precognitive Sibyl System.

This is the tale of the Claymore called Clare's solitary path to vengeance.This goes on my action and horror lists... now if only there was a way to claim it as sci-fi as well....Mwhahahahaha!
- CreatorNaoki UrasawaStarsHidenobu KiuchiLiam O'BrienMamiko NotoTenma, a brilliant neurosurgeon with a promising future, risks his career to save the life of a critically wounded young boy. The boy, now a charismatic young man, reappears 9 years later in the midst of a string of unusual serial murders.Best and most unheard of psycholological horror i've seen. I think it's hard to recommend to fans of 'anime tropes', because it isn't a standard anime at all.
It is literally, an anime. But in comparison to western conventions of the content... it's more akin to a cross between the fugitive, and 'kung fu' - with no kung fu, and actual horrific themes and stresses. - StarsTakeshi KusaoYûko MizutaniHideyuki TanakaSho and his friend Tetsurou stumble upon an odd alien artifact while walking through the woods. Then, the alien artifact breaks free of its metallic bonds and enters Sho's body, turning him into the Guyver. With this new power, Sho must do battle with the evil Chronos corporation and their genetically enhanced Zoanoids, who seek to get the Guyver back into their labs. No one close to Sho is safe from Chronos. He must fight.
- CreatorLynn OkamotoStarsSanae KobayashiChihiro SuzukiMamiko NotoTwo university students come across a seemingly harmless girl named Lucy, unaware that she's actually a mutant serial killer with a split personality.I seem to be in the minority here, but I am not a fan of this show at all. I think it's rubbish.
That said, the first episode, IMO, is an excellent example of great horror and tension building... IMO, after that first episode, they chose to make a moe, bland, series about moe nonsense... but most disagree apparently. - StarsNatsuki HanaeAustin TindleBrina PalenciaA Tokyo college student is attacked by a ghoul, a superpowered human who feeds on human flesh. He survives, but has become part ghoul and becomes a fugitive on the run.
- CreatorHiroshi WatanabeStarsMamiko NotoMasaya MatsukazeTakako HondaWhen someone wants revenge, they post about it on a special website at midnight. Then Hell Girl appears to do their bidding.
- CreatorHiroya OkuStarsHiroshi KamiyaDaisuke NamikawaJohn SwaseyAfter their deaths, two teens are transported to an apartment with an ominous black sphere and must participate in a gory alien-hunting "game."
- StarsJessie James GrelleBryce PapenbrookTrina NishimuraAfter his hometown is destroyed and get traumatized, young Eren Jaeger vows to cleanse the earth of the giant humanoid Titans that have brought humanity to the brink of extinction.
- CreatorSatoshi KonStarsShôzô ÎzukaToshihiko SekiMamiko NotoSeemingly unconnected citizens of Tokyo are targeted for bludgeoning by a boy with a golden baseball bat. As detectives try to link the victims, they discover that following the assaults, the victims' lives have improved in some way.Best psychological horror is best. Each episode is based around a different mental illness. It's pretty excellent. Most excellent indeed.
- StarsAya HiranoNobunaga ShimazakiRinka H.B.B.17-year-old Shinichi Izumi is partially infected by a Parasyte, monsters that butcher and consume humans. He must learn to co-exist with the creature if he is to survive both the life of a Parasyte and a human as part monster, part person.
- StarsMamiko NotoRie KugimiyaColleen ClinkenbeardRin Asogi runs a private investigation agency in Tokyo's Shinjuku district, performing odd jobs. Despite attempts at a normal life, she finds herself constantly hindered by the strange cases that come her way.Horror and fan service combine... because reasons... I don't know what they are, but they a probably horrible?
