It’s almost October and with that comes wanting to watch spooky programming. If you love watching shows like “Are You Afraid of the Dark” or movies like “Nightmare on Elm Street” then you might be looking for equally spooky anime titles to tie you through the season. Lucky for you Crunchyroll has some great titles that will let you do just that. Some of them are great for kids, some of them not so much. I’ll put a note on which ones you can watch with the children that won’t keep them up all night.
Blood Blockade Battlefront
Blue Exorcist – Older Teens
Corpse Princess: Shikabane Hime
Deadman Wonderland
Ghost Hunt
Hell’s Paradise

I hope you enjoyed this list! The ones with notes next to the titles I’ve personally watched and can verify that they are good. There is a ton more you can search for on crunchyroll if you want to look for more spooky shows. Keywords “witch”, “vampire”, “demon”, or the entire “supernatural” category are great starts.
As an additional note, if you’re a “One Piece” fan you could re-watch the Thriller Bark arc because that whole story is very Halloweeny.
