All hallows eve is coming: the time where the ghoulies, ghosts, zombies or even nightmare lolis crawl the streets in search of all things sticky and sweet. So lock up your doors, keep stock of sweets by the hall, and lie in wait for the witching hour.

So, what anime are people going to be watching this Halloween?
I'm afraid my forte doesn't lie in the horror genre, and I've been put in charge of putting of putting on a Halloween showing in a few days time. So I'm really looking for suggestions of anything short, but Halloween-esque to show. ^^ Two-or even three series (of which I could show two-three episodes of each) would be ideal!

Thank you very much in advance!

Higurashi is good, but it is quite gory in some parts. Put on any of the arcs from Ghost Hunt, since each arc is only 2-4 episodes long. PG-13 Horror FTW??

Pet Shop of Horrors, perhaps? It's only four episodes, so you could show all of it.

oh, these little earthquakes

I'd have to agree with this --- it's the perfect choice, and it's just one movie. If you're new to the whole 'xxxholic' thing after this --- then hopefully you'd check out the anime and manga.

Ayatsuri Sakon, the series's use of dark reds, browns and orange just feels like fall and Halloween. Plus it is about a japanese bunraku puppet master who goes around solving murders that always involves puppets.

Hmm :3 I'd suggest Jigoku Shoujo series, it's really an interesting scaryish anime and maybe would fit for Halloween, though a bit long ^^

Soul Eater has a very Halloween-y feel, though not particularly scary.

*Thread Revive*. ^ it is still halloween.
Found this thread while looking. Some good suggestions but does anyone know of any good OVAs or just single episodes where it is halloween from shows? Christmas seems way more common.

If anyone else comes looking, here is what I have found so far:
Joshiraku episode 10, 1st half - the episode also explains why there don't seem to be many anime Halloween specials.
Our home's fox deity, episode 19

I think coppelion might be a good halloween anime,it isn't really that scary but it does make you jump a little but if you are looking for something scarier try corpse party or even seraph of end:vampire reign
