Anything that is not, not NOT elfen lied. This show is gory, mindless, with no buildup of tension at all. It is shallow, poorly dubbed, and its only redeeming features are gore, boobs, ans some amazing music. It is not horror so much as an animated snuff film.

I found elfen lied not That bad you make it sound horrible. I concur with you that it didn't have a very good story line but it wasn't that bad of an anime. plus i watched it on Netflix i didn't notice many dubbing flaws but maybe once or twice. I agree that its not that much of a horror film but i would still recommend it as something worth watching.

I agree with everyone else. ^^

ANOTHER definitely is awesome, if you like the movie Final Destination. ;D

But once I saw this anime movie... I can't quite remember what it was called, something like DevilMan.
There's was blood everywhere and heads and demons and corpses...
Pretty funny stuff. -^__^-
But if you dislike old anime draw styles, you won't like this.

*Edit*
Amon: Apocalypse of Devilman

Hell Girl, Elfen Lied, High School of the Dead.

[fairy-phoenix]

I am gonna have to say Hell Girl because some of those episodes are kinda on the creepy side.

[sugoi milady desu dollie]

i dont know if this counts as a horror anime but puella magi madoka magica is a pretty dark one

[Death Effects]

Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni (AKA When They Cry). At one moment I was afraid of nails and hammers for some time lol

[BeyondeBirthday]

Elfen Lied and Deadman Wonderland are both deliciously gory horror~ 3nodding
