into a quiet town in the countryside and
surprise surprise the locals start to
mysteriously died off you want to see

the paper sound simple and it is but
with horrific imagery and a great lead
character in Natsu know Yuki this is an
anime for anyone who’s a fan of classic

number five boogie pop phantom this is a
series that you can watch over and over
and catch something new every time a
series with a silly name boogie pop
phantom tells the story of a large
variety of people who are connected to a
series of murders five years prior so
coach otaku the series doesn’t mess

number four corpse party oh just do what
does not still yours to July what kind
of horror party is it without corpses
set in modern day Japan corpse party
targets a group of students who are
attending a haunted high school and are
transported to an alternate dimension a
place full of accidental death and
murder originally beginning as a series
of video games it was eventually adapted
into a short five episode series with
the series lacks in character
development and mystery it makes up for
in Gore unbelievable screams and
maniacal laughter that will haunt you
for a while so Daniel but I say Dayo
number three Hellsing Ultimate
are you a fan of badass glitter free
vampires that rip you apart sure you are
in this original video animation series
viewers follow Alec are a vampire
proudly serving the Helsing organization
and protecting Great Britain from
everything that goes bump in the night
including Nazis while we thought the
original Helsing series was great
consider it just the tip for ultimate
this time around we ramp up the gore the
action and our favorite police girl is
even more outrageous than ever number
two when they cry that was a horrible
crime they’re still missing one of the
arms aren’t they who thought something
so cute and comedic could disturb the
living daylights out of you
wow he really was buried alive I’m
afraid if we’re gonna get this guy out
of here we’re gonna need an axe or
something
also known as Kiku dashi when they cry
the story centers on a small group of
friends who live in a Japanese village
with a strange tradition annual murders
initially coming off as comedic the
series takes a serious turn for the dark
and WestEd and it will continue to screw
with your mind long after it’s over
this entry is more relaxed on the core
taking a psychological horror approach
to disturb its viewers instead before we
unveil our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions ye away any meat on
you attend to you
sushi sorry oh my no me go you to Larry
Kinkaid oh no no no honey otic Randy no
number one another take your time
looking around I have no other customers
I could put on some tea thanks but I’ll
pass on the tea if you don’t mind it
welcome to anime meets final destination
they associate your name with death but
not just any death a cruel with rational
death that took place at this school
another focus is on schoolboy who eg
sakakibara who gets swept up in a series
of grisly deaths stemming from the
mysterious death of another child years
prior
it happened 26 years ago she’d been
popular ever since the seventh grade
she was smart pretty and had a great
personality definitely as much of a
slow-burning mystery as it is horror
investing into this series definitely
pays off
my poor other half is waiting for me at
the second baseman
another gives horror fans tons of
gruesome deaths creepy girls and plenty
of red
