While I was at NYCC, I got this DVD sampler from Manga video containing anime that just licensed for US distribution. One of the animes in it was Tokko and I really enjoyed it. I want to know of any other good horror anime or anime with horror elements in them.
Thanx in advance.

Hellsing is a good, dark vampire anime. It's got allot of gore and violence in it.
Elfen Lied is kind of a sci-fi/horror anime. It's pretty bloody but the characters are good. It does have nudity in it.
There's also Higurashi Kokoro Ni. That's kind of a phsychological, thriller, horror anime, but it's very good.

Funny you should mention Elfen Lied. I brought the DVD boxset on a whim today. Hope it's good.
I'll be sure to check out Higurashi Kokoro NI.

Yup, HELLSING is a classic. I haven't tried ELFEN LIED yet but plan to.
I'm not familiar with HIGURASHI KOKORO NI but I'll check it out if I see it somewhere.
Oddly enough, I haven't seen too many GOOD horror animes though I love several horror mangas.

I finished watching Elfen Lied and enjoyed very much. I wish it was longer than 13 episodes. I'm to try to find the OVA now.
Thanx for the recommendations guys.

Your welcome. The Manga of Elfen Lied goes much more in depth and the characters are better developed so check it out if you get the chance.

Hey guys a long time ago I saw this graphic and kind of dark movie having to do with this guy who worked with an organzation where he himself was a black guard . ALso he eventually gets assigned this case to protect this old man (who has these really cool thunder powers by the way) along with a speciial demon body guard whoses this really hot black haired anime chick. Ring any bells anyone??If anyone can name what this movie is please by all means!!! Thanks in advance oh there was also quite a bit of sex in it (the guy himself has sex with this demon spider lady unknowly!)

You should get OVA. It's extremely funny at first (especially the scene with Nana chopping up the vegetables or when she tries using the oven), and even shows a ligher side to Chibi-Lucy's personality as child(if you can believe that). It also elaborates further about Lucy's past, specifically what happened to her after she killed Kouta's father and sister and how she ended up in the Diclonius facility. Though I warn you: it's a very tragic and heartbreaking story.

Pretty much all of Elfen Lied is tragic though.
To say nothing of the Manga version

Quoted for truth. It's just the OVA made me feel more sympathy Lucy than I already did.
And the manga version as whole is personally what I think would happen if Saikano and Evangelion had a child.O_o

What is Elfen Lied and Higurashi no Kokoro Ni about?
Because I also want to get into something anime again. I used to love it. Watched all yu yu haku show episodes ( All 120 of them (got them off ebay for 10$) in 1 week) then watched all of FMA and Granadier and Hellsing. Except I haven't been able to find the OVA, is it good? And isn't it a remake?

Anyone have an opinion on Demon City Sinjuku?

Ghost Hunt is a pretty good horror Anime series.
There's also Tokko which isn't all that good overall, but there are some good episodes.
Shingetsutan Tsukihime and the first season of Jigoku Shoujo are good.

The only real recommendation I have is Requiem from the Darkness, while it's not exactly scary, it's still pretty disturbing/creepy.
The series is about a young writer's-blocked author named Momosuke who continues to have run-ins with a group known as the Mataichi Gang consisting of Mataichi,a so-called seller of spirital charms who is known to be a trickster, Ogin, your typical anime hottie who is a puppet master, and a third member who while is labeled on the descriptions as a bird-caller, has only shown to have a shape-shifting ability. The Mataichi Gang specializes in punishing those who had committed great crimes, all of those usually ending up with a gruesome death.
