This is a list of non-Ghibli standalone movies - meaning they are not associated with a TV series

Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/8632

Get ready for Halloween with 30 nights worth of horror OVAs and movies that are guaranteed to deliver you spooks and scares.

***Some of these anime can be hard to find so its best to research for links or downloads beforehand for a smoother viewing experience.

This is a part of a series of stacks that are about artistic tendencies in anime (and that border the fine line between sophisticated and pretentious).

This stack is a work in progress.

A collection themed around the spookiest time of year, but it's always Halloween in my soul...

While most of this list falls under the horror/suspense/mystery genres, there are a few included based on their heavy themes of zombies/ghosts/vampires, etc.

This list ranges from incredibly good to laughably bad, so I've ordered it by score so you have a better idea of what you're in for. Sequels are not included.

Anime movies that are not followed by any a seasonal anime, there's just the movie.



-Contains BL and GL movies.

50 beautiful anime movies.

Continuation of the first stack.

This should be about it.
While I could keep adding more by digging deeper, especially into the older stuff, or just adding even more mainstream titles... I feel like that'd be excessive - as I want to keep these stacks somewhat balanced and easy to digest for a broad range of people: whether you're someone who mostly watches modern anime or an oldhead that still has VHS anime.
As long as the person reading this is okay with something outside of their comfort zone - they will find something for themselves.

A shifting series of absurd phantasms, hallucinatory illusions, and deceptive appearances you might encounter in a dream or as created by the imagination. Imitating senses of perplexity, paranoia, disgust, and even dread.
