Get ready for Halloween with 30 nights worth of horror OVAs and movies that are guaranteed to deliver you spooks and scares.

***Some of these anime can be hard to find so its best to research for links or downloads beforehand for a smoother viewing experience.

Anime featuring prominent female characters, or with a female target audience, with dark and/or edgy themes and aesthetics. Anime for your inner edgy middle-schooler

(one entry per franchise)

A selection of shows that centralizes on the idea of evil, whether as a direct presence or a symbolic representation, that revels in themes of hostility, corruption, debauchery and death that ultimately, cause the grievous and tragic collapse of one's sense of humanity. Due to its dark nature, this list is unfiltered and therefore, may display lurid elements that are problematic. But if you're here to seek the thrills of violence and the spills of blood, then witness the dance of the Devil.

Caveats:

• Most entries contain explicit materials, including gore and sexual content.
• Anime formats vary from film, anthology, short/ova and full-length series.
• If there are recommendation, I'll provide an extended note in the caption.

Some of the good and some of the bad, with just a little bit of festive wholesomeness sprinkled in <3

--
Is it really the ultimate Halloween stack or did you get clickbaited? Well...definitely one of those two! This is based on my judgment of what makes for good Fall/Halloween anime of what I've watched, which is pretty limited. There are different criteria here, but all of them have at least one of these:
- A good, spooky atmosphere
- Dark or otherwise Halloween-related themes
- Gore

Of course I've made sure to include some of the good AND some of the really bad, because let's be real here. What is an October without some truly trash horror?! Default order is according to MAL's scores because I'm just that sweet
( ˙▿˙ )🖤

𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗦:
I've marked off gore according to MAL's judgment because I can't remember how gory most of these were. I still recommend staying cautious if you're very queasy, but everything marked "no" SHOULD be safe! Contact me if not because I don't want to accidentally traumatize someone :') I think it should be easy to spot the really harmless ones regardless, just in case you want to stay REALLY safe.

With that out of the way...
Happy watching!🕸️🦇🎃

Obviously they got no source material, so the list contains anime which aired and got no upcoming sequels or prequels.

Anime with bugs that are big or bug-like creatures that are also big.


Things to note:
🐛 We will be using a very liberal definition of "bug" here, assuming it as interchangeable with "insect," or even with "creepy-crawly" in general. It then follows that "bug-like" can mean "similar to an insect."
🐛 We will also be using a liberal definition of "big," where we count the anime as long as the bug-like creature is big for a bug, regardless of whether it is an actual bug or just a bug-like creature. If the shark is acting like a bug, it counts as big even if it stays within the normal size range for a shark.
🐛 Some of these entries toe the line or straight up do not have bugs (see the shark example), but are here because they manage to keep the spirit of big bug-like creatures. If it creeps like a bug and crawls like a bug, we will be counting it as a bug(-like creature). Specifications in the notes.


Feel free to comment or PM with suggestions for additions to the stack because I can't remember any 💚
