While this anime might seem unheard of or probably just under-rated, mind you, I’ve put it here on the Top 3 spot because I firmly believe that it’s actually truly a horrifying anime to behold. It doesn’t have the usual settings and over-used tropes that we’ve seen in anime shows that passes easily as horror shows nowadays, but, it holds a traditional and creepier way of telling its plot. For one, this anime is based on a theater show that uses puppets and cut-off papers. Then, it uses those to present horror stories surrounding old traditions, occult, ghosts, and even new sensational fears in a very spine-chilling yet engaging way. And so, with that method in toil, every episode or theater show that pass never fails to creep-out anyone who watches (and probably sometimes make them jump-out from the scares).

Yami Shibai, as I’ve said already, is based on a traditional theater show which present a different horror story with each presentation. May it be an occult, a ghost story, an urban legend, or a myth – all of the stories were made to terrify, to disturb, and to scare. After all, everyone needs a good horror story every now then.

Down on the prestigious spot of Top 2 is an anime that’s well-received and highly-rated because of its very frightening ghostly story and its well-made terrifying execution. You might have heard it already because it’s actually one of the best and most popular horror anime that exists today. That anime is – Another! It’s eerie, it’s ghostly, it’s disturbing, and most of the time gory as well – all of those have mixed-up to define the deathly hell of a tale that it is.

Kouichi Sakakibara is new transfer student in a rural school that carries a horrible secret in one of its classrooms. And as unlucky as he is to be in the forsaken classroom that’s supposedly plagued by a curse, Kouichi has to find-out for himself and deal with what horror is happening inside the classroom. The first thing he notices is that he has a girl classmate named Mei Misaki who is always present but no one seems to want to notice. It’s as if she’s invisible or a ghost – and her classmates are doing it on purpose (as if terribly scared of something if they fail to do so).

Finally, we’re on the big revelation of the Top 1 Horror Anime on this list. So here it is, marching in with all the elements we have always expected to be in a horror story, is an anime befitting of its name – Corpse Party: Tortured Souls! This overwhelmingly forbidding anime runs on only 4-episodes (which surprisingly is enough for this one to snuff the living daylight out of anyone who watches it) that delivers a massive blow of scares one would never expect. Actually, Corpse Party has all of the following themes; occult, ghosts, revenge, gore, blood, violence, other dimensions, and more! Now don’t say I didn’t warn you because this is the best horror anime that exists in the world (well, at least for me at this moment). One wrong move (of you saying it’s not that great or the best), and off you go to – Heavenly Host Elementary School!

After being demolished due to being an accursed elementary school with a really grim history, another school now stands on top of it not knowing of the regrettable past. One day, a group of students performs a ritual on the school grounds believing that it would make their friendship eternal and everlasting. That ritual spell is known as the Sachiko Ever After charm – and much to their ignorance, the charm shall soon take them to the accursed Heavenly Host Elementary School. Hopelessness and despair shall soon again plague the grounds of the school as tortured souls screech and the bloody truth bares its fangs.
