If you want something short, I think Mononoke, Another, and Mieruko(I didn't watch this, but the visuals looks spooky enough)

Longer series like Jigoku Shoujo (SLOW paced, mid of second season onwards then you get some progress on the overarching story), and xxxHolic, definitely is on track for the spookiness of the supernaturals.

Also, you can mark Uzumaki down for your Halloween special anime next year, or the year after, hahahha.
Honestly, take a read of any Ito Junji's manga, and is a story made of nightmares. T.T.
I think there's an anime adaptation of same of his mangas?

Soul Eater is the first thing that comes to mind for me.

I first watched it back in high school specifically to get into the halloween spirit after I stumbled across this amv:


The whole premise is basically halloween themed.

What is this? they look like characters from 2 different stories. The manga extract you attached actually gave me the chills. My first thought when I saw The anime screenshot was that is some side character from some ballroom scene in a non horror anime....
For some reason I can actually hear scary sound effects when I glanced through that manga page...

The Vampire Dies in No Time is my fave Halloween-esque anime! It’s chill and funny, dubbed version is just as good and makes fun of lots of horror story tropes. Besides that rewatching mob psycho for Halloween would be a real treat 🎃
