Uzumaki and 30 other very scary horror anime shows to watch for October

October is and will always be the best month to stream horror anime that you may be too frightened to watch any other time in the year. After all, it's spooky season and some anime shows pair so well with the Halloween theme that it's almost a sin not to watch something that will have you shivering under the covers. And that's where we come in!

For this month, we want to give you a horror anime recommendation each day. This way there isn't a single day this month where you aren't preparing for one of the spookiest Halloween seasons of your life.

Best anime shows that'll give you a fright

One title that we want to draw attention to this month is Uzumaki, which is now streaming on Max.

Uzumaki tells the story of the odd events that take place in a small town haunted by mysterious spirals. Every time a spiral comes about, something horrible follows not too long after. From spirals appearing on people's foreheads to spirals appearing on their backs, no one truly knows how or why these things appear. All this town does know is that something sinister is on the horizon and it's better to ensure that someone does something about it before it's too late.

See the official trailer for Uzumaki below!

While what's scary and what's not is very subjective, there are some titles that we just think go down in history as being must-watches for those who love a jump scare or being so unnerved you don't know what to do with yourself. What's more, body horror and gore are their own subgenres in the anime world, so if seeing grotesque things is up your alley, then you may have a title or two that may appeal to you.

Without further ado, here are 30 horror anime shows that you need to be watching!
