Viewer Discretion Advised: 10 horror anime to watch this Halloween

7. Ghost Hunt (2006-2007)

Ghost Hunt is packed with supernatural thrills that set that eerie October mood for you. The show follows the adventures of Mai Taniyama, a high school girl who becomes involved with Shibuya Psychic Research after randomly meeting Kazya Shibuya (or Naru), the manager of the company. As they investigate many unsettling and unexplained events, the cases they tackle get increasingly dangerous and terrifying.

Mai and the team of investigators each bring their own unique skill or perspective to the table – from exorcism to spirit photography. The show gracefully mixes elements of horror, mystery, and suspense as the team ventures deeper into haunted sites, facing evil and vengeful spirits and other creepy and supernatural entities. The engaging story points and well-developed characters add to the chilling encounters, keeping you drawn in by getting you invested in the characters.

Happy hunting!

8. Junji Ito Collection (2018)

This fantastically disturbing horror anime series brings to life the haunting and unsettling stories of famous manga artist Junji Ito. With its creepy atmosphere, eerie characters, and unexpected plot twists, each episode tells a different tale of terror, making it an easy binge-watch.

The Junji Ito Collection is a mix of both well-loved stories and hidden gems from Ito’s extensive works. From nightmarish neighbors to morbid mysteries, each story peeks into the shadows of the human mind and the unknown. As an anthology, this series does not follow a single main story or set of characters – it gives you a fresh, new experience with each episode.
