Are you hungry for scares? Do you long to see creatures from the deepest corners of your nightmares come to life on the screen? Bloodbaths? Psychotic breakdowns? Then anime has you covered! Specifically these ten, which raise the horror and gore to a whole new level. Don’t blame us for your newfound fear of the dark.
#10: Paranoia Agent
The only thing scarier than a young hoodlum beating bystanders down with a gold baseball bat is the madness that grips the town in the aftermath.
#9: Hellsing Ultimate
A gun-wielding Dracula takes on the things that go bump in the night…including Nazi vampires and fanatical Catholics.
#8: Corpse Party: Tortured Souls
Sit back and watch as a group of helpless students are torn apart by ghosts in the most brutal of ways.
#7: Shiki
Vampires start cropping up in a small village, eventually turning the inhabitants into crazed killers themselves who will do anything to make sure the bloodsuckers are wiped out.
#6: When They Cry
Overlapping timelines, murder and insanity blend together as we discover that every girl in this town is out of their damn minds!
#5: Terra Formars
Giant humanoid cockroaches who love nothing more than to tear apart humans with their bare hands. Nope, nope, a million times nope!
#4: Monster
Witness the rise of one of anime’s greatest villain; Johan Libert. Why is he so terrifying? Because he’s so human.
#3: Tokyo Ghoul
After a freak accident, a young man finds himself turned into a hybrid of human and a creature known as Ghoul. Caught between both worlds, he has to try and balance his humanity as well as his new craving for human flesh.
#2: Another
You might as well call this anime Student Murder Simulator, because that’s all you’re going to see! At least the kills are creative.
#1: Parasyte
Aliens have invaded the Earth and taken over the bodies of humans, turning them into walking weapons that hunger for flesh. The only thing stopping them from domination is a student and his own intergalactic paradise; one that took over his hand instead.
