Manga, light novels, oneshots... with great art styles (probably)

Otherworldly and/or monstrous features creeping into character design, art style, and/or otherwise general aesthetics; prominent uses of orange, black, and stripes, perhaps even gothic and/or chilling fairy tales—whether or not it's actually set in Halloween, these anime fit the spirit (or at least at any Hot Topics near you!) ⋆

I'm surprised that there isn't a name to this specific kind of aesthetic I've been craving. I seriously want to see more cute anime that embraces the spookiness in ways like Soul Eater or Hells did.


Non-manga examples:
Over the Garden Wall, Coraline, Corpse Bride, Devil's Candy, Tim Burton, Gekidan Inu Curry
