There's plenty good horror comics.

Really they get split between
1. Big exploitation or slasher like splatter fests who take advantage of panel to panel art for crazy gore
2. Creature features who pull of amazing monster designs or horrific scenes that could never be pulled off live action or other more complex visual mediums
3. Tone built unsettling scenarios that pull you in with the story and almost want to get into a more secure position to fend off potential nightmares your own mind creates

There's TONS of horror comics, but I feel we lack in the cartoon department. I guess it is because good horror requires good art, and good art animated requires a big budget that most wouldn't want to bother with. Which is why most horror in cartoons is played more lightly or even a flat out comedy since it is more likely to make back money or be cheaper to make.

Junji Ito did it, so it's possible.

>>93609135
there are female deer that can grow antlers

>>93608963
Isn't this from the myth of the deer woman? You know the one that lures men and then kills them with her hooves while the man is distracted by the idea of having sex.

I remember hearing about it once.

>>93609121
Instead of buying doe essence for hunting like normal people a /k/ommando and his friend tied up one and kept her constantly cumming with a vibrator to collect her juices.When they released she was mindbroken.

>>93609284
I assume they used her. You don't put a vibrator to a doe and not use her a few times.

>>93609135
The reindeer is the one deer species where females have antlers, too.

If ya like horror books or horror movie franchises then comics are for you.
Pretty much every horror franchise has had at least one comic run or adaptation, and tons of works of Stephen King or Clive Barker.

Rawhead Rex, Friday the 13th, Pumpkinghead, Army of Darkness, Hellraiser, PuppetMaster, GingerdeadMan, Hatchet, etc.

>>93609237
Yeah I think it is some old story like a cryptid or something. I've seen a few stories use it including an episode of the Masters of Horror show.

>>93609351
Yeah máster of horror had one of those, I heard a similar myth from Mexico though, about a couple of hunters that find a woman in the woods one night with a very long dress, they thought she got lost and had a speech impairment so they would take her to the town the next morning, to warm themselves in the night they decide to drink some booze but then they get drunk and the woman starts to make advances on one of them, the other guy just moves out to go for wood for the fire they usgive them some privacy but is later greeted by the screams of his friend and weird deer screams, he finds the woman had deer legs stained in the blood of his dead friend as he readies his gun the woman escapes in the brink of the night.

Or at least that's what I remember, I heard about that one in Sonora.

>>93608963
Wouldn't something being scary depend on the reader/viewer?
I mean you can make an educational guess that a certain something will or will not scare majority of the people who might see it, but in the end that will still be opinions.
Yes, there are horror comics and cartoons. Would they be scary to you or me? Depends.

Cartoons can do horror better than comics I feel.

The issue with horror is comics I've always felt is that the reader is in control of the pacing of the story which horror is dependent on when it's visual based. Literature can get around this by painting pictures and being vague to make up for the reader being in control. Movies are in complete control of how they use time. Everyone reads comics differently so speed reading or going back in pages can sometimes throw this off. That's just how I feel about it but horror is totally doable in comics still.

Horror comics that come to mind are
>Through the Woods by Emily Carroll
Anything by Carroll works though really, she does good scary work.
>Ghost of Hoppers by Jaime Hernandez
>Hellboy and BPRD
>Nijigahara Holograph by Inio Asano
>Junji Ito in general if you want weird horror

>>93609038
Yeah, if anything that is basically a /k/ommand's perfect weekend.

horror is probably the hardest genre to write. 99% of it is complete garbage. usually when cartoons are scary it's unintentional. Courage is the best example I can think of a good horror cartoon and junji ito does very good horror comics

>>93608963
She looks like she needs a hug.

One Big2 comic I got a nice horror vibe from was the first half of Waid's Daredevil run. There's so many cliffhanger issue endings and nearly all of them are creepy.

Daredevil being dropped into a monster's mouth by Moloids
Daredevil's senseless body being dragged by Latverians
Daredevil's severed head being held up by a mexican cartel teleporter

It's very strange to me that there aren't many horror/comedy cartoons. In fact, there haven't been any on air since what, Courage and Billy and Mandy?

It's especially strange to me since that genre is a perfect avenue to help kids deal with their fears and such.

>>93608963
Cthulhu Tales
EC Comics

Comics is one of the best mediums for horror in my opinion. It's really good at getting down the expository element of the genre because the reader can control the pacing and really investigate the page. Mystery horror works better than slasher horror usually, but gorefests can be done as well. Considering horror is like 80% aesthetic, distinctive art styles can give it a really genuine feel.

A spider that hunts exclusively people it looks like, by pretending to be a woman in distress.

>>93610445
Only if the attacked person gets away. But I see your point. There's no way a giant spider would ever evolve in such a narrow specialization as to hunt humans considering that in the middle parts of evolution they would be really ineffective because they are trying to trick a species that possesses advance communicative abilities.

Cartoons in the US can only do jumpscares.

I think some of the best horror is through comics and art.
With art you don't need loud noises or music to make something scary.
All you need is an image,

yeah comic books have a long history of tackling horror as a genre, but none of them are ever actually any good as horror. They all just turn out to be the slow-in-the-head cousin of a generic action romp but with extra ketchup.

We haven't had a good horror cartoon since the 90s:
Real Adventures of Johny Test
Mighty Max
Roswell Conspiracy

90s Spider Man could count as a horror cartoon because of all the body horror and creepy stuff that happened in it.

Idk I'd defend to my dying breath the comic adaptation of Rawhead Rex. It helps that the movie adaptation sucked so there's no other good adaptations to compete with it.

On an unrelated note,
Which do you prefer?
1. A horror comic that has as little text as possible, trying to have the art build the tension and do most of the scares
2. A horror comic that is heavily narrated to the point you almost don't have to look at the art

>>93614752
>2. A horror comic that is heavily narrated to the point you almost don't have to look at the art
You may as well read a book then, nigga.

>>93614702
>Mighty Max aka Polly Pocket for boys
>Good horror

And while Spiderman tas had the manspider stories, it also had heavy censorship (Blade used a damn lightsaber if I remember right) so it never went as big as it should have.

>>93614702
>Roswell Conspiracy

Mah nigga.

>>93614752
between just those two extremes? I'd take #1. Good prose is defined by its sensory defying ability to communicate visuals and feelings and smells etc... through word. If you replace that nuance with the utility of an actual visual it does worse than render otherwise good prose redundant it actually robs of it of its potency. Likewise visual mediums thrive in their ability to convey anything/everything but the static image through static images. Just on M.O. alone (not speaking for subject matter or creator talent) I'd say #1 stands better odds of producing worthwhile content than #2.

>>93609075

It does happen though. Especially in older horror comics.

>>93614873
I wanna lean towards 1 too, but I know deep down that without words slowing me down I often breeze through a comic possibly faster than I should have. I always feel I don't appreciate or enjoy textless comics as much as I should.

>>93609038
you never walk in the woods at night?
Come across a deer?

Imagine for a sec, doing so.. Then outwalks a naked/half naked girl partially covered in blood, acting just as spooked, confused as the deer.
100% nope.

>>93609804
Shiki is hilarious though. Any show where there is blatant, unflinching mass slaughter of unholy monsters is hilarious.

There need to be more series like that where an entire race of evil demons gets exterminated without opposition. Tokyo Ghoul would've come close if they made the villainous mass murderer Ghouls incredibly rare and lone-wolf. Because nothing was more funny than watching "innocent" Ghouls die

Grimm Fairy Tales come to mind.

Nameless by Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham

>>93609776
>shiki

nigga whut. I liked it too but it was pretty basic and not at all scary-more drama than anything

I'm surprised that no one ever made a Goosebumps,Ghost of Fear Street or Fear Street cartoon.

They're more atmospheric and less jumping out of your seat.

>>93608963
>Have any moments in comics / cartoons been scary?
I think you're going to have a harder time trying to find them in comics.

How much time you spend on each panel and/or page can vary greatly from reader to reader. It's one of the more unique aspects of comics.

The 'horror' in horror often comes from the atmosphere and other aspects of the story that span many pages.

That's actually a new thing that pays tribute to an old style. It's one of the more recent openings for the oldest running and the most popular children's program the name of which loosely translates to "Goodnight, children". And there was actually some sort of feedback from parents that this shit was scaring their kids. The thing is that Soviet cartoons weren't for kids, they weren't "for" anyone. They were art. And this style particularly so. But "Goodnight, children" was also going down hill for many years, the new opening is by a guy who's most famous for using profanities and adult themes in his music.

Haven't read Moonshine.

Moore's Swamp Thing was scary, so was some of Hellblazer, the old Charlton (and DC) horror/suspense anthology comics, Warren's Creepy, Eerie, and Vampirella (modern Vampi is just sad, after the B&W Harris mini that re-intro'd her), some of the old crazed psychedelic Eerie Publications (no relation to Warren's Eerie) mags. A few of Marvel's reprints of old Atlas/Timely horror falls into that grouping.

Joe R. Lansdale can write some scary shit, too.
