Unfortunately, there isn't a vast selection of true horror anime out there for fans to choose from. Although the selection isn't as vast as other genres of anime, it still has incredibly unsettling stories. Horror anime differs from other types of media because of their ability to express horror in creative ways that aren't possible in live action. With full creative disposal on their side, horror anime can create some of the most grotesque imagery that can't be replicated in other ways.

What horror anime does best is create an incredibly unsettling atmosphere in its world. Many of them dive into the psychological minds of humans or explore the world of the supernatural. They take ghost stories and myths from Japanese culture to create a brand-new world for fans to be immersed in. With how terrifying horror anime is, it's the perfect watch during a stormy night.

Anime comes in a plethora of different genres and formats to suit every fan’s viewing preferences. From long-running epics spanning hundreds of episodes you can spend months sinking your teeth into to self-contained movies for a relaxing evening, anime has something to offer regardless of how one likes to enjoy their media.

While uncommon, some short anime series feature incredible stories that don’t compromise the quality for the sake of padding the runtime. Perfect for binging all at once, these short anime series don’t waste their viewers’ time and tell stellar stories that are concise yet potent.

Anime is a deeply versatile storytelling medium where it often feels like anything is possible and its no coincidence that its helped birth many new genres and push established ones to bold, ambitious places. Anime frequently celebrates action, comedy, slice of life, and radical battle spectacles between superpowered individuals, giant robots, or magical girls. However, horror is another genre thats particularly potent in anime. An animated mediums effectiveness as a tool to conjure terror and uncomfortable situations is frequently underestimated.

That being said, there is an abundance of horror anime that can put most live-action films to shame and truly terrorize its viewers. Theres an even greater capacity for effective horror in anime series that have multiple episodes to craft a compelling story and explore conflicted characters, rather than a single film thats only a couple of hours long. There are hundreds of powerful and formative horror anime that are out there to explore,...

Many of us are in the midst of mourning/celebrating Tokyopop, which closed up shop in the United States last month.

Gary Coleman -- Little Pet Shop of Horrors

Gary Coleman was clear -- he didn't like animals -- so imagine his dismay when he was forced to work at a pet store and put up with all that crap.

Gary took the job as part of a reality show pilot that was shot in 2008 and never aired.  A life coach made him take the job to improve his people skills and save his marriage to then wife Shannon Price.

It didn't work so well.
