Top 10 Creepiest, Spookiest Anime

Japan has a rich history of ghost stories, complete with all different types of ghosts, demons, and ghouls. This rich tradition has been a source of inspiration in anime.

Most of Japan’s creepy anime deal with supernatural entities—either a single ghostly presence or several at once.

This post describes the 10 creepiest anime series, each of which deals with the supernatural. They are not only gory but have spooky atmospheres and moody

They’re the kind of anime you want to watch around Halloween to give yourself and your friends a scare. These are not peaceful or comedic youkai shows.

These are older titles. Perhaps in future I will update this post or do a companion post that features more recent anime titles.

Watching all the Pixar Movies  – Finding Dory (2016)

For some lore on this review series

Pixar "Finding Dory" (2016) Movie Review
Pixar “Finding Dory” (2016)

It’s really amazing the sheer amount of sequels that Pixar produces. SO when I heard that Finding Nemo got a sequel called Finding Dory I ignored it and promptly forgot about its existence, and I liked Finding Nemo when I first saw it in theaters. And in truth, this title does not have the same reputation, for better or worse, than other Pixar titles have.

Going into this movie I had low expectations, other than knowing that Dory was the focus and trying to find her parents, I knew nothing. I didn’t even 100% if was a sequel or a prequel. 

Did Finding Dory meet my low expectations or was it even worse?

Optimism, Ambition, and Freedom

Orange has all the energies of red along with the happiness of yellow. It is an optimistic color that also promotes creativity and ambition. As it’s a warm color it draws attention to the wearer without the overpowering attributes of a red. It can invoke fun and freedom as well as warnings. Since it can be a tough color to pull off, Orange is not seen a lot for movie costumes, but when it does it makes a bold statement.

This page ranks the best orange costumes from Fantasy/Sci-fi movies. Orange costumes from Period and Modern movies have their own rankings. Orange can range from super bright, like a traffic cone, to dark rust, copper, even pinkish/peach tones.

The costumes are ranked by aesthetics, memorability and how well it suits the character/film. Undergarments, cover- ups, sleepwear, outerwear, swimwear etc. are not included. This means Lucy’s Nightgown from Bram Stoker’s Dracula got cut, even though it’s weirdly fun. Also, Mrs. Coulter’s gown skewed orange in pictures, but in the film it appears brownish gold.

Watching all the Pixar Movies  – The Good Dinosaur (2015)

Pixar "The Good Dinosaur" (2015) Movie Review
Pixar “The Good Dinosaur” (2015)

Prior to making the decision to watch all the Pixar movies there were two Pixar movie titles I did NOT want to watch. One based on word of mouth and the other I had actually seen before. I knew I didn’t like it then. The Good Dinosaur is the later, I had seen it once before and I didn’t like it.

But MAYBE, just maybe on a rewatch I will like it more or at least appreciate its artistic or narrative merits more than the first time I watch this movie.

Maybe?

 Inferences on The Love Hypothesis (2026)

A Movie Review: The Preface

Lili Reinhart as Olive Smith & Tom Bateman as Adam Carlsen , Amazon Prime Original "The Love Hypothesis" (2026) Movie Review
Lili Reinhart as Olive Smith & Tom Bateman as Adam Carlsen

I might have lied by omission. In my Wall-E review I liken EVE and WALL-E to more “likable” version of Rey and Kylo Rea/Ben from the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy or “Reylo.” While I do completely understand the divisiveness of the pairing I still did and do like the pairing and  have read fanfics of the of the pair.  I will just add that I think one the reason I enjoyed the pairing was what more based on speculation for what the pairing could bring to the saga, which it didn’t, how the characters changed through the lens of fanfics and also Reylo reminded me of my favorite jdrama from the mid-2000s.   

That being said I never read the fanfic that The Love Hypothesis is based on but I did read the book by Ali Hazelwood and it very much reads like a Reylo fanfic. I will also add that I have read three times but the most recent was ahead of the movie’s release. Which makes this a rarity for me as it one few times I have read the book prior to the movie. 

While the first two times I read the book I did enjoy but I will say I enjoyed it still less on the three reread. It’s not unenjoyable, it’s  entertainting enough  which is fine. 

But how did the movie do adapting the book?

Watching all the Pixar Movies  – Inside Outside (2015)

For some lore on this review series

Pixar "Inside Out" (2015) Movie Review
Pixar “Inside Out” (2015)

Inside Out is one of the few Pixar titles that I have watched the most as a jaded grown-up. Not sure if it’s more than four but this rewatch definitely makes it three times in the last few years. Arguably that is  not very impressive for some people but for me it’s quite a lot. 

Admittedly, the reason why I watched Inside Out  more over the other Pixar offerings had more to do with the subject matter than the entertainment of animation so in that capacity it was different viewing experience. 

But the question is as always is what are my own subjection feelings, opinions and emotions for Inside Out? Which emotion took control of my personality console as I watched Inside Out?
