Ashley with WatchMojo and these are the
top 20 anime for horror fans for this
list we're looking at the ultimate
playlist for all you horror junkies out

scares through the medium of anime but
before we get started you can catch me
on twitter at a shave oh so head over
there give me a follow and let me know
which your favorite horror anime is
releasing control art restriction
systems three two one number twenty hell
girl there are some people that deserve
a one-way ticket across the river Styx
way earlier than the rest which is where
I Enver comes in shadow lost in the
darkness bringing torment and pain to
others should any tormented individual
field pushed to their breaking points
they're given the opportunity via the
hell correspondents web sites to summon
I and her companions in order to bring a
fresh reckoning to their tormentas
[Music]
with each self-contained story often
resulting in a black-hearted individual
being thrown into the fire you'd think
it would be happy endings all around for
the victims nope
invoke the hell girl and the price you
pay is condemning your own Souls a hell
upon your death
no cheerful number-19 terraformers do
you hate cockroaches well prepare
yourself because these ones come
equipped with a humanoid body immense
strength creepy smile and it designs a
purge every human they come across
[Music]
best suited for fans who enjoy their
horror series with a splash of crazy-ass
action there's still tension to be found
here as a group of soldiers arrive on
Mars in order to take the red planet
back from the roaches only this time
they aren't helpless comedy tornado
genetically enhanced with the abilities
of other insects there is nothing more
cathartic than seeing these guys rip off
their heads of one giant bug after
another pest control that its finest
number 18 school live honestly by this
point Maui girls and horrifying
circumstances go hand in hand
though few have managed to balance it
with this level of creativity and
despair
[Music]
optimistic and lovable Yuki spends her
days in bliss reveling in his school
life with her close group of friends for
the rest of them at life isn't so rosy
since the reality is that the world has
been consumed by a zombie apocalypse and
everyday is a desperate struggle to
survive all the while trying to maintain
the illusion of a regular school for the
sake of Yuki's incredibly fragile mental
states remember to smile ngati haka
number 17
uma nico when they cry while it may not
have the same amount of oomph as its
visual novel is still enough in this
adaptation to make the end result wholly
disturbing
[Music]
the idea of a bunch of greedy depraved
and unlikable aristocrats and The
Offspring meeting their demise courtesy
of a malevolent spirits might sound like
a fun time and it is it's gross as hell
and some of the ways the oshiro mere
family bite the dust is well and truly
morbid but if you're in the mood to see
a lot of bad people become slightly less
terrible in a bid to survive an ancient
curse this is the one for you number 16
High School of the Dead who's ready for
a schlock fest of the best kind we're
talking zombies mass panic
survivors turning on each other
innocence getting devoured and so much
fanservice that at times there's more
flesh on the screen than in the mouths
of the undead relax I know what I'm
doing
if you're a fan of exploitive style over
substance horror that doesn't skip out
on the blood nor the boobs then you have
a duty to watch this crazy train from
start to finish number 15 vampire hunter
D bloodlust
the man known as Dee has been slaying
the things that go bump in the night for
decades now but by far his greatest and
flashiest outing was this classic flick
which pitted him against a powerful
vampire one with so much charisma and
supernatural underlings you might as
well call him Dracula
the fights are brutal and uncompromising
the mythos of the legendary bloodsuckers
is given the darkness it deserves and of
course D is an absolute badass that
brings the thrills and kills in every
scene number 14 Deadman Wonderland while
it can be argued that the later episodes
of what was supposed to be a manic Gore
fest shifted the whole thing towards
more shown in action vibe what can't be
denied is that it's one of the most
shocking and borderline unpleasant
viewing experiences for anime goers it's
fertile ground for all lovers of horror
who are down to see things kick off with
a good old bloodbath
even if said bloodbath takes place in a
classroom this results in the death of
all but one students who is
unceremoniously framed for the whole
thing via kangaroo caught and sent to a
facility filled with psycho kids with
Miller on the brain oh yeah it's that
kind of show
number 13 corpse party tortured souls
surely with a title like that how can
this series be anything but unpleasant
[Music]
based on the hit Japanese survival
horror game we follow a group of
students who end up transported to a
school plagued by violent ghosts and
specters not only must they unravel the
mystery of heavenly hosts elementary in
order to escape but go up against the
murderously psychotic Sachiko
needless to say not only does some of
these poor souls end up meeting their
demise but some of their deaths are
beyond excessive don't blame us if you
can't look at scissors for a while
number 12
elfin lead as is the case for most great
anime that delve into horror
the common thread binding them all
together is the simple truth that
humanity is truly the worst monster of
them all case in point Lucy
[Music]
despite her slaughtering her way through
both deserving and undeserving humans
with her invisible razor vectors
we still can't help but feel sympathy
even here cruelest of childhoods one
built on prejudice imprisonments and
loneliness to the point where you'll be
like you know what they had it coming as
she unleashes fresh doses of carnage
against the world that wronged her
don't worry I don't plan to let you
suffer much longer number 11 Tokyo ghoul
Oh connect II you did not deserve to go
through any of that but hey at least she
became one of modern animes darkest
protagonists in the process in a world
where cannibalistic creatures known as
ghouls exist alongside humans can
connect he finds himself thrown against
the worst of both species after being
turned into a half ghoul
aside from wrestling with his own
cravings for human flesh he's pitted
against fanatical humans bent on ghoul
genocide as well as the terrorist group
known as Al Giri tree and it's torture
obsessed members so please do your best
not to disappoint me all right
Tokyo ghoul stands tall as one of the
more interesting horror anime numbered
sin paranoia agents who knew were golden
baseball bats and a pair of rollerblades
could cause so much chaos
Konoe Dyneema got the papal authority on
the city of Musashino is thrown on its
head when an enigmatic assailant going
by the title of lil slugger starts to
cause mass hysteria
due to their unrelenting attacks as well
as the authorities seeming inability to
apprehend them
[Applause]
the only thing more terrifying than the
bludgeonings is the suspicion that
starts to arise among the residents as
their mistrust reaches a fever pitch
don't be shocked if the grittiness and
trauma keeps you invested until either
little slugger
or the town itself strikes out number 9
the promised Neverland we'd be remiss if
we didn't include this modern darling
which not only refined and reinforced
the notion that anime could indeed be
terrifying but it did so with a concept
that was so simple it was almost
beautiful a trio of orphans content in
their life on an estate discover that
all they have ever known has been a lie
and that they and the rest of their
friends and nothing more than cattle for
the monsters on the outskirts of their
home their only options escape or die
found by a magnificent cast that you'll
undoubtedly come to a door through every
nail-biting twist this is one even non
horror fans are required to watch
[Music]
number eight perfect blue psychological
horror doesn't come much better than
this practically unparalleled in its
poor trails of madness its infectious
nature and the dangers of media Mimas
struggles against a deranged stalker as
well as her own fractured mind is so
beautifully realized that it often hits
way too close to home the disturbing
imagery and implications elevate it to
such a degree that it ends up capturing
the true essence of horror more so than
even the most grotesque of monsters just
try to watch that climactic chase scene
and not have your heart leap into your
throats
[Applause]
number seven monster two words
Johan liebert I'm Johan Ebert after
choosing to save the life of a patient
over there of the town's mayor the once
highly regarded surgeon kensic Tenma has
it will shattered as not only do his
morals cost him his position but
unleashed the suave psychotic an
unrelenting Johan upon the world is
something the matter dr. Tenma as the
genius sociopaths antics get more and
more horrific Tenma and by extension we
the audience have forced to confront the
worst that humanity has to offer and
what we're willing to do to stop someone
who lacks even the smallest trace of
empathy to the point where even the ones
who bred him for greatness couldn't
contain his malevolent tendencies
I was supposed to die that night you're
the one who resurrected me doctor
number six another did someone ask for
animes answer to final destination
because if so feast your eyes on this
buffet of deaths decapitations and
impossible explorations the school is
the place that is very close to death
while trying to unravel the mystery of
his new school koa Jena only finds
himself questioning whether these
suspicious yet sweet May can truly be
trusted but soon finds himself having to
outrun the Reaper as an ancient kheer
soon starts dropping bodies at the drop
of a hat window sills chandeliers
elevators and umbrella everything in
this series is a potential hazard this
is one where the kill count is king so
just sit back and try to guess how the
next poor soul will meet their end
number five when they cry the definitive
time twisting mera fest that taught us
to feel wide-eyed Maui girls just as
catchy starts to settle into his new
home he comes face to face with its
sordid history one that slowly reveals
itself to not only include time loops
but also that every girl in his social
circle of the Damned minds if they
aren't stabbing their heads onto a knife
they're putting needles in his rice
balls or two nailing their twin sister
this type of torture is very simple it
just involves me hammering 15 nails on
both of your hands at each and every
joint
there's some pretty messed up stuff here
all topped off by the iconic site of
Reina dragging her cleaver through the
street with the goal of decapitating her
crushes head adolescence am i right you
are so going to die number four she key
whatever it is I'm not gonna let it kill
my village
vampires are at it again this time
quietly bringing hopelessness to a small
town as the inhabitants fall prey to the
hunger of the children of the night and
in doing so start a vicious cycle of
death and retribution
[Applause]
blending together nightmarish imagery
while dancing around the increasingly
twisted psyche of its characters more
often than not you'll find the emotional
weight shifting as the residents spiral
into a mob mentality that sends the
body-count skyrocketing on both sides
until you'll be left wondering whether
or not all parties involved would be
better off burning with that
blood-soaked town of there's number
three Helsing ultimates Dracula is a
gun-wielding sadistic murder machine in
service of an order of English Monster
Hunters who takes on fanatical catholics
and nazi vampires no it's time to
educate you on how a real vampire does
battle as this show in a nutshell
despite what you might call a ludicrous
premise the bloodshed taboo themes and
sheer Anarchy that comes from the
character of Alucard
is so immense that it's nearly
impossible not to write the highs of his
killing sprees
remember he's still the good guy who
happens to leave an ocean of bodies
everywhere he goes empires have never
looked so good it takes a man in order
to kill a monster number two parasites
what happens when you take body snatches
and give them the ability to mutate
their human hosts into instruments of
death a whole lot of people getting
sliced to ribbons there's more
when parasitic creatures invade the
earth they start taking over the bodies
of any inhabitants they come across able
to turn their appendages into various
weapons
luckily for our boy genichi his personal
parasite wasn't able to fully infect him
becoming a separate entity in his right
hand
forced to work together in a bid for
survival the two are thrust into
conflict with both races treating us to
some Stella fights genuine scares and
the unnerving truth that literally
anyone into nichy's life could
potentially be an enemy we continue be

[Music]
combining the apocalyptic magnum opus
penned by the acclaimed madman gonna guy
with the psychedelic fluid visuals of
veteran director masaaki yuasa Acuras
battle as a devil hybrid that seeks to
defend his loved ones from Hell's forces
is a triumph one that will shock disgust
and yes horrify you to your core as it
presents a grim reflection of humankind
and just how little it takes to bring
them to the edge of reason and decency
