There's not a lot of great examples of it. Horror manga requires both writing and art. Portus is great to look at but the writing is pretty bad.

Compare it to other genres where the artwork can just be charming and serve to carry the characters/writing.

>>158221571
Watched the first season and it was 90% of ear-raping spook scares.

Kagewani was much better when it came to building atmosphere and keeping up tension, some reasons being lack of ear-rape, a more realistic artstyle, rememberable characters (both humans and monsters), and well-paced directing. While some episodes were definitely unintentionally funny (eg. the ceiling turtle), most of them managed to set their mood properly whether it was suspense, panic, or disgust.
Also, ARRIVAL OF FEAAAAAAAAR

I don't understand why horror as a genre is popular in the first place. I like more atmospheric horror like Kuro and Ghost Hound and Dead Space but the vast majority of horror tries to be as gory as possible and chock full of jump scares for some reason.

Horror novels have been a thing for ages. But it takes more to make drawings scary I'd think.

Something like:
Video Games>Film>Book>Cartoon

Anyways as far as horror manga goes there are a few good ones but most of them don't pull it off well.

Dead Space is both less atmospheric and more gorey than almost any horror manga.

>>158221078
I remember reading Uzumaki like 10 years ago during the night and a scene involving a staircase going down to the basement creeping me out (can't remember what exactly).
I think that's the only instance of me being scared by manga/anime.
I probably should re-read Uzumaki someday.

How can demonstrate and ghost be scary if they aren't real

They aren't.
No one is really scared of cockroaches, but they are disease ridden, and used to be one of the things that spread the plague.
The dark prevents you from seeing threats, thus is a threat itself.
Noise can psychically hurt you, you dumb fuck.
Money is not an imaginary value, and who hell thinks that's scary?

I mean, you're not even smart enough to type correctly and literally all of your examples are wrong.

Ignoring the fanbase and just looking at the work itself, I still think it's one of his most spooky stories. The first time you read that one you're genuinely creeped out by that final reveal.
>>
>>158223842
You make a good point. Horror is about the unexpected, and reading things where you already know what's going to happen takes a lot of the impact away. Now that I think about it, I do genuinely feel spooped out the first time.

>and reading things where you already know what's going to happen takes a lot of the impact away
Definitely. The ending of Amigara Fault terrified me for a while when I was younger, but I've seen and discussed that manga so many times on 4chan that it has absolutely no impact on me what so ever anymore. I can understand that a lot of people feel this way about Junji Ito. However he's still a creative genious when it comes to body horror art and character design, and some of his stories are still very well written.
>>
>>158224098
But it's not scary, and it doesn't try to be scary. How can that be horror?

I'm intrigued

Do you mean like horrible shit happening to cute idol girls, or do you mean an idol show where the girls are all different types of ghosts and japanese urban legends?
>>
>>158221078
Don't know if it counts, but I read some of Ito Junji's stuff a few years back. Instead of feeling scared or frightened, I felt disgusted. Completely disgusted. That is something you rarely feel in any horror depiction.

I mean if you aren't disgusted by the sight of some dude squeezing his face full of zits on someone, you will be utterly disgusted by that, no matter what.

I feel like shit.

It really makes you wonder if Ito has actually seen or experienced the things he draws and writes in his works. We almost always put small amounts of real things in fiction we create, we can't help it, and we almost never even realize it.

That man is truly deranged, but absolutely brilliant.

The reason most horror literature and manga suck absolute dick is the fact that they rely so much on selling the horror through shocking images and atmosphere when both mediums are ridiculously inferior to cinema in that regard, which has both the benefit of setting a specific pace it needs and through concrete audio-visual stimulus. Any good horror literature will focus on worldbuilding, suspense and mystery instead. Not dumb shit like OP's pic.

I only get "scared" by specific things. I've never read a horror Manga but normal things can't scare me. I get really jumpy only when i watch real creepy stories videos on youtube. Nothing creeps me out more than "true" stories about the deep web or people selling things online or when people find out there was some creepy guy standing at the foot of their bed every night watching them sleep. Some youtubers have extremely good reading voices and they make things scarier.

Fiction written in a way that makes it sound believable and told as if it were real events is what gets me and i love it. It's not easy to get scared reading fiction. There was that one creepy webcomic with that crawling girl that had the cool scrolling thing that got me with the surprise jumpscares but i can't say that was Manga.

Horror is basically just a low-brow meme. For a more serious response, it's not a smart business choice when different genres are far more popular and will net you more consumers and cash for the work put in. Unless you hire the best thriller writers and have god tier sound design (eg; manga simply isn't a good medium for this), horror as the primary element won't work and at best will come off as a silly feverdream for fuckwits on the web like me to make fun of.

This. I love Higurashi but I always felt like it was good for the world building, the characters and the mystery, the horror was there but it was used less and less as the true plot unraveled.

>>158221078
The only time I have ever got scared from horror manga was with Junji Itou "Long Dream", and that was mainly because I suffer from something similar, sometimes I can dream for weeks in just 1 night is very creepy, and something even creepier is that dying doesn't always wake me up of the dream.
I think that if you can't relate to the story it won't affect you at all.

Open it if you're not a total fucking pussy. It's drawn. Don't worry. it's only so scary.

I like it, I might start reading horror manga. I'm not a huge fan of Japanese Horror but i did really like The Nameless Game on the DS.

I Am A Hero shit itself inside out and the concept was never that well executed in the first place. It seemed the author was going to do something with the whole "Schitzophrenic man dealing with the apocalypse" but then it just got stupid.

Oh yeah, this reminds me that someone recommended Kakurenbo in another thread like this some time ago and I forgot to actually watch it. Maybe I should soon.

Another is laughably bad and you should be legitimately ashamed of yourself enjoying it on an unironic level.
>>
>>158232781
Guro + futanari + netorare tags and let your brain melt.
>>
>>158232936
I'm not the anon you're replying to but the first half of Another had a really good creepy atmospheric vibe and I would fite whoever told me otherwise.
>>
>>158221405
/a/ never liked horror
>>
>>158221078
Some of Junji's stories creep me out a bit. Hellstar Remina was especially unsettling to me, although I generally get creeped out by deep-space horror.

Horror is an awkward genre because its predictable in every way.
Unless the series doesn't outright claim to be horror, you sorta know what to expect.
>>
>>158232936
I love how nobody can mention another without some anon always tipping his fedora about how bad it is.
You should be ashamed of yourself for shitposting on an unironic level
>>
>>158232286
That scene is immediately hilarious like 2 pages later, I Am A Hero is not horror done right, it's not scary at all.
>>
Animated horror is impossible.

You have to go back.

To be fair that's probably the scariest horror i've seen in a manga.

If Miura wanted to do horror he could with that art skill.
>>

because rice monkeys can't into spook

>>158221078
Hideout had me a little creeped out, especially because of the drawings, sure it was just some old dude living in a bunker but I was pretty spooped
>>
>>158231678
Does that shit actually exist? Seems fun, I would love to sleep forever.

And I also agree with you, there are two Ito stories that really creep me out. One is the trypophobia one (I've always suffered from It) and the other one it's Drifting ashore (because I'm scared of deep sea creatures, Who the fuck knows what's down there)
>>
>>158221078
I get upset sometimes because I start to like the protagonists a lot so I'm sad when they die.

But scared? Not at all. Am I the only one here that reads Junji Ito and laughs his ass off because it gets really silly? Black Paradox is so fucking goofy.
>>
>>158232230
Two chapters per month anon, they should be up next week.
>>
>>158235418
I love that funny tone that his stories sometimes have, It's hilarious how messed up the protagonists end up

First season of Kagewani was really fucking good IMO. It was like a more storydriven Yamishibai, though with more focus on monsters than ghosts and urban legends.

episode 6 was especially great
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3cqdl0_kagewani-episode-6_tv

A shame season 2 wasn't as good. The whole fun of the show was seeing a different monster each episode, but with season 2 it was all completely just storydriven and action shit instead of suspenseful horror

anybody has actually survive trough Shoujo Tsubaki?

Read Uzumaki. I loved Junji Ito.

I read on a big-ass screen, so if they do that thing where they draw a close-up picture of a scary face that takes up the whole page you can bet your ass that it would make me jump.
>>
>>158221078

Higanjima was scary at the beginning.
>>
>>158233379
>deep-space horror.
This is genuinely the best genre of horror

Almost every single horror sci-fi movie is at the very least decent. It's something magical about space that just merges very well with fear
>>
>>158232936
Liking Another is perfectly fine as a guilty pleasure though. Just like the Final Destination series.

You don't watch it because it has good writing, you watch it because it has entertaining deaths
>>
Speaking of Junji Ito, someone picked up Rasputin recently.
Anyone knows if its it horror or just some kind of manga biography similar to Cat/Dog Diary?
>>
>>158221078
Reading Fuan no Tane was the only thing from both anime and manga to legitimately creep me out

The Witch's House is actually getting it's own manga adaption based on the novel and is premiering in just two days.

Very hyped for this!
>>
>any horror series that features a spooky female just makes me completely horny rather than scared

Having a horrorgirl fetish sucks
>>
It only works in manga.
>>
1) I've watched Higurashi, the Ghost Stories one, Another, and I'm watching Shiki. Outside of these are there any more notable works? There's basically nothing on the /a/ wiki about horror and other sites recommend stuff like Tokyo Ghoul and Monster
2) Any notable upcoming horror anime? I want to funpost a horror mystery with /a/

Ghost Hound

only one that ever spooked me and I don't even know why
side stories were a pretty fun read as well
>>
>>158236717
his works don't unnerve me but I love them for surreal they are
like if Salvador Dali was a horror writer

I remember the end of Perfect Blue and some bits of Paranoia Agent getting to me when I was younger.

But I can barely name any other horror anime I enjoyed.

not really. Sometimes I get unnerved if I'm reading at night

Any good psychological horror VNs you recommend?

Kept trying and failing to get into Higurashi.

>>158221684

OH fuck off, /a/ has always had terrible taste.
>>
>>158239859
Yup, I learned about it directly from Fummy's site.
The novel itself was originally made by the creator of the game and I thought it was fantastic.
It really helped explain things leading up to the game itself.

I really hope it eventually gets turned into an anime but it is doubtful considering some of the graphic and disturbing content.

i know what you mean by that my friend

for example, i remember that someone around here call me a underage newfag because i was going to talk about my favorite slashing horror action manga,then he left me this capture of a stupid shitty moe vampire (pic related), i was going to say someting to that little piece of shit fucker but unfortunately the thread was closed

There's probably like 1 good horror anime. That being said, it's already above the 0 that moeblobs are sitting at.

The train in the tunnel one is way scarier.

Junji Ito´s Hanging Ballons is really scary. I think it is his best work.

Was it a spiral staircase?
>>
>>158244697
Don't start it.
>>
>>158240010
Ok that part of the story was so ridiculous that I actually forgot about it. The part that creeped me out was obviously the planet eater and the idea of totally random and uncontrollable human annihilation. I thought them jumping around the planet was pretty damn silly, but it was kind of amusing.
>>
>>158244742
Afraid it would spiral out of control?
