ITT: actually scary horror manga

What series genuinely creeped you out?

Not manga, but Yami Shibai S1

None because anime/manga are bad mediums for genuinely scary horror.

/thread

True. I don't even know where to begin to look. The horror tag on most sites is bullshit anyway, full of shit like Bleach.

Only because the Japs don't understand what is actually scary.

I dunno man

Fatal Frame freaks me out

Fuan No Tane left me with a pretty uncomfortable regarding corners and shadows

Holes In The Mountains was pretty great.

Fuan No Tane is the only horror manga I've read that scared me, besides Junji Ito. But, everyone knows Junji Ito.

>Japs don't understand what is actually scary

This part was the only part in the entire manga that was genuinely scary.

It's really hard to build atmosphere without motion, sound, and some kind of realism. Kiriko is kinda scary, though.

It's about a bunch of old high school friends meeting up 12 years after graduation, to remember one of their friends that died. Then they get trapped in the school and killed one by one, by her reanimated corpse.

Japs can't even watch good anime, you expect them to know good horror?

Last few episodes of Kemonozume creeped me out a bit

...

...

...

...

Oh shit, I didn't notice her in the window when I looked over this. Jumped out of my fucking skin. Bretty good

ehh, I'd say the one form of horror where Japanese people excel at is their cultural inclination to dolls and the resulting familiarity with the uncanny valley and body horror.

I'd watch a david lynch/cronenberg style Japanese anime. I think they could pull that off fairly well unless they try to dive into garbage esotericism and existentialism.

THAT is a place where Japanese people truly suck. Every *deep* Japanese thing is just a combination of shitty hard to follow logic, stupid nonsensical scene changes, mute staring, buoyed together by the artistic skills of the animators. I hate when Japs try to pretend they can trigger deep, reflective, philosophical thought in general. It's just clumsy and pretentious.

uzamaki scared me when i first read it.

It's strange that people say manga can't be scary, or that Japanese people don't know how to do "scary." The only books that have ever scared me are Junji Ito's manga. I really don't get the manga can't be scary thing

ito stuff isn't scary, though some of it is entertaining

Forgot the name but the one where a guy is like "THIS IS MY HOLE" mildly creeped me out even though it wasn't that bad.

Attack On Titan heavily creeps me out, not because of the visuals but how much of a mirror it is to reality, complete with retarded brainwashed leftists with eternal victim complexes and evil Jews.

A few Junji Ito stuff is pretty scary too.

>actually scary horror manga

Zero. All of them eventually jump the shark with super powers and shit.

>"THIS IS MY HOLE"
The Enigma of Amigara Fault? Also, some of the titans in AOT are pretty freaky. The idea of people going into battle to be horribly and gruesomely killed with no benefit makes me uneasy, too. That's just real life, though, like you say.

JI's are not so scary as they are unnerving/leaves a bad taste in your mouth. I think the ones that are the scariest are the /x/ and Sup Forums manga that represent a reality that we think isn't ours but it very well could be. Things that deal with flat earth theories, suicide, government putting things in the water to make people dumber, etc. I agree with about Attack On Titan for that reason. (Talking about the manga, not the anime.) The titans aren't scary, never have been scary to me. What is scary is how fucking stupid everyone is, how unwilling people are to change their views even when faced with objective fact, how brainwashed everyone is, and the social commentary the author makes that passes by a lot of normies' heads--I know this because of the amount of tumblrinas who love the series but fail to realize the author is not only mocking them for their rabid leftism but also is pretty anti-Jew and is trying to convey the message of swallowing as many redpills as possible regardless of your feelings.

Not them but that doesn't bother me nearly as much as the above. The parallels to what is probably happening in real life, right now, are what distraughts me the most. I want to escape reality, so I read AOT and immediately get slapped in the face with reality.

Yes, that one. It made me kek and also have nightmares. There's a manga about the suicide forest in Japan that made me shed tears and shit myself a little. The imagery was very well done and horrific.

All that you mentioned plus how the series isn't afraid to talk about death and how people willfully choose ignorance, because knowledge is too painful.

I think the way the mood can change rapidly is also somewhat creepy. What I mean is, the series goes from people killing others to silence their "wrong" opinion, to Levi making shit jokes, back to killing, then to Armin making stupid faces as per usual, and then to Pizzagate.

I think that OP's pic is pretty good. The concept of a schizophrenic mc being in a zombie apocalypse is really great and I wish the author kept utilizing the unreliable narrator aspect, but sadly it becomes just a side note as time goes on. The part near the beginning when he spends the night in the woods is extraordinarily creepy. As someone who has had an what was basically an episode of psychosis during a bad acid trip, it really taps into a fear I have.

Fai from TRC had an absolutely gruesome backstory. His past was sad, but the drawings are what really made it qualify as creepy. Pic related. (Warning: Massive spoilers.)

I'm sure they do.

Shit like this isn't sxary in the slightest. My immediate reaction is "I'd fuck that"

get back to your fnaf shit faggot

...

I got so spooked from this one the next thing I knew there was ectoplasm all over my room.

>implying americans do

>Ouiji movies
shall I go on? There's tons more

Are all the chapters scanlated? I read chapter 1 a while ago but couldnt find 2

first chapter of doll's fall scared the flying fuck out of me

it was a pile of meh after that, though. Something about face mutilation/eye gore really fucks me up

Ibitsu

6000

Dude, let me in!
I'm a fairy!

im sorry faggot is there another part of the world that does make good horror films that isn't spoken in a retarded language?

Where can I read the full manga? Kissmanga only has 1 and 3

It sure as fuck isn't anywhere where they speak McDonalds aside from "classic" slasher films and MAYBE Alien if you count that as horror? And we're not even talking about books here.

>I love jump scare

Fick off

Junji Ito?

Why wouldn't you count Alien as horror, it's as horror as it gets.

>Fuan No Tane

This. Fuan No Tane works so well for me because generally each story is only about 5 pages long. There's just enough time to give you a creepy image and disturbing idea, and then it's over. None of this "oh hey I found this book that explains the creepy thing's origin" bullshit that ruins so many modern horror movies.

>Junji Ito
His stuff isn't necessarily scary, just grotesque. Half are comedy gold anyway.

Uzumaki and gyo are GOAT horror

Got a boner on the sister though. Especially when she got dragged to a dark place

Same. The real sister was a cutie pie and it sucked what happened to her.
>get stuffed into a body bag and strapped down on table
>get a couple of your manicures ripped off
>brother comes by with a couple of his friends and you try to get his attention by squirming but he freaks out and runs away
>get left there to die

>Forgot the name but the one where a guy is like "THIS IS MY HOLE" mildly creeped me out even though it wasn't that bad.

Ito can really creep you out because he goes out on a limb to make things as uneasy and incomprenhensible as possible. I find the idea of being inexplicably drawn to a hole that will deform you at best and let you entombed inside a mountain at worst, and all you have to do is see it once, even through tv, scary as fuck.

>evil Jews
>mocking them for their rabid leftism but also is pretty anti-Jew

I've dropped the manga almost a year ago, the revelation about the truth outside the wall seemed too retarded. Are you joking or what are you talking about?

I remember having read a manga that was 5 short stories, that were all really creepy. The ones that stuck to me the most were one where a blind girl received an eyes transplant from an anonymous person and started to see hallucinations about the things he used to watch including seeing herself naked in the shower and in her bed and a girl whose father was a control freak and did some nasty shit to her when he learnt she fucked a guy, that one was creepy because of the father's behavior and had a really disturbing image at the end.

It's called Fetish

>Are you joking or what are you talking about?

Best not to engage with Sup Forums user. You can't handle shit without being left with shit on your hands.

It's horrifying all right. The show I mean.

>Half are comedy gold anyway.
It really is. Ito is often hilarious on a right mindset.
It's like watching Evil Dead. See it when you're young or not big on horror and it's scary, but anyone else gets the humor of it, except Ito probably does most of it by half-accident.

...

>Ito probably does most of it by half-accident
I dunno, sometimes I think he makes the characters act purposefully retarded because otherwise they won't get to the crazy/funny end that he KNOWS is funny. His characters have far more self-agency than in other manga where people are either victims of circumstance or at a certain point no longer in control of their situation. I mean they go right along the path of determined self-destruction and I think the reader is meant to have a giggle at their expense.
>climbing out of this window would ensure an unnatural death at worst and a very unpleasant predicament at least
>I better do it

>except Ito probably does most of it by half-accident.

I don't know. He seems to know what he's doing in other series.

>Cat Diary
This reminds me of that other story where an evil kid who spits nails tried to corrupt the family cat and got hit by lightning
That one actually had a normal ending where the evil kid got what he deserved, which was refreshing

They're not joking, but they are exaggerating a bit.

Basically, the outside world is full of Jews while the people inside the walls are mostly white with some Jewish admixture. Except they're fake Jews and fake whites, called Marleyans and Eldians respectively. The Eldians live on fake Madagascar while the Jews live on Africa and their greediness has caused a near depletion of fossil fuel (they have planes, boats, and probably cars too). The fake-Jews aka the Marleyans hate the fake-whites aka the Eldians because the Eldians oppressed the Marleyans for 1,000 years and used them as fuck machines. Or so we've been told. We have about 4 unreliable narrators (Grisha Jaeger, Eren Kruger, Zeke Jaeger, and Eren Jaeger) and 1 reliable narrator who is MIA (Armin Arlert) so we don't actually know the truth. But what we do know is that both sides are in a constant state of revenge oppression and there's literally fuck all either side can do about it.

Except for the obvious attempts at reconciliation but we all know that won't happen because Eren is a retard who should've been eaten by Armin a long time ago. So instead he's going to release the 10 gorillion wall titans on the world, fail to control them, and kill both everyone in and outside the walls, and never get to ride Armin's dick like he desperately wants to.

(For more info on why the Sup Forums jokes are a thing, there are Eldians who live on continental not-Africa in the country of Marley in designated ghettos. Weirdly enough they look Jewish as fuck like the Marleys whereas the Eldians in the walls look white. The author even drew a bunch of Marley-Eldians with huge schnozzes. They also have to wear armbands that have 9 stars on them, and the Marleyan soldier uniform is reminiscent of nazi Germany uniforms.)

Yes he's definitely deliberate at times, I'm not saying that he'd always be unintentional, but just as often as there's clear humor there are as many moments when I feel that he couldn't have explicitly meant this to be a funny moment and yet it is.

what

What the literal fuck? I sort of stopped keeping up with SnK during the whole "Christoria is the real queen" arc

I liked the manga when it was about kids with gas-powered 3D spiderman gear and swords fighting giant flesh-eating monsters, why did it have to take this turn?
The royal conspiracy arc was so boring, does it get better afterwards?

Have you even read about japanese folklore like Yokais and curses and so on and so forth?
Ju-on: The Grudge is babby tier compared to what you could create from Yokai stories

>replying to bait
And some of those yokai stories are scary, but Japan's creepypasta is where the horror is at. Too bad they don't always translate well

>hachishakusama
>kune kune
>the fake family

Ran out of space.

Ultimately, the horror aspect is how it parallels to real life in many ways; people, even nations getting stuck in cycles of revenge, people demonizing one another and committing genocide (whether you think the holohoax is real or not, there have been actual real genocides before) against innocent people, religious extremism (Ymir was taken in by a crazy priest who may or may not have been part of the Wallists and was made to be their god, but then they all turned on her for whatever reason), there's parallels to anti-semitism and loxism (hatred of whites by jews), using and abusing children for your own fucked up and heavily misguided ideologies (Grisha abused his first son and coerced him into believing Grisha's retarded fanfiction), and how painfully common it is for people to just make shit up as they go along and then act like they know what they're talking about (fucking Grisha, literally more retarded than Eren and that's saying A LOT).

Personally, those things don't horrify me and SNK isn't scary to me, but I get why they'd think it scary. Humans are fucked up, corrupted individuals. We know nothing about the world we live in. Only those in power do, and the ones in power are not the ones we are told are in power either. That's pretty fucking scary. We don't even know if we exist. These kind of existential themes are played with in the manga whenever Armin's narrating or monologging, and when you just look at the series in general and realize that the information you are given through the story may not even be correct, and the only things that are correct are the shit that coconut head has journaled--of which we don't know yet.

This got real freaky sometimes.

This sounds too complicated

Looks vaguely familiar and I may have read a part of it before, is this manga episodic?

It was always like this though. It was never a generic good vs evil, man vs monster manga. Even in the first few chapters if you look carefully you can see the signs. For fuck's sake, the first page is actually a huge spoiler to something I personally think is so retarded it nearly made me drop the manga, but it's there. (Time travel and time loops are real, but only memories can time travel. Eren, a retard with 3/10 intelligence, has to play 9D chess with his father and with Eren Kruger, possibly with Uri Reiss and Frida Reiss as well to save the world. We Life Is Strange now.)

TL;DR Cycles of depression abuse, the dumbest character is in charge of saving the world by sending his memories back in time to previous coordinate holders, will inevitably fuck everything up like he always does, Armin is one chapter away from smashing Eren's stupid face in, save Chloe or save Arcadia Bay

Shhh, don't think about it too much.

Wait what did they animate that doujinshi?
Does that mean they animated the fucking cow chapter too?

This shit was more rageworthy than scary.
There was an unrelated bonus chapter from the same volumes though about a bunch of living dummies that killed people and wore their skin, that one was actually unsettling.

Source?

It's not, I just tend to complicate things. They might try to reconcile things in the present instead of having Eren play 9D chess, or Eren might take it upon himself to wake the 10 million wall titans and destroy everything. (Also, if it does go down the 9D chess route, Eren will literally be seeing reality change before his eyes whenever he sends a message or memory back in time to a previous coordinate holder. Conversations previously had have no longer happened, in one timeline Connie is dating Reiner, in another Armin's dead for realsies this time, in yet another he's getting fucked in the ass by Kenny, Jean was never born, etc.)

It's from Nemuri no Fuchi, not really episodic more about a guy trying to save a girl who went 'missing' when they were kids.

what

>Armin is one chapter away from smashing Eren's stupid face in
I think this is the only part I understood, and I'll pick up the manga again just to see it happen.

I am a Hero was only genuinely scary when Hiro was alone in the forest at the beginning. Then it got mainly creepy but not scary.

Junji Ito's spirale was pantshitting tho.

this

Me and the Devil Blues. Not really a horror manga but it does have some freaky images.

If nothing else the author was great at drawing cute girls, I legitimately felt bad when the girls got fucked over. The ending of the main story was a cop out though.
>MC is chopped up with a chainsaw and stuffed in the girl's teddy bear
>the news reports it as "young man kills parents, commits suicide"
How the fuck did that work?

Do that because Isayama hinted on a drawing he made recently that February's chapter is going to end with a shitshow, and this month's chapter had Armin being unusually cold to Eren (and Mikasa) and glaring at him. Pic related.

Mutinyb owl imminent.

I don't know who I want to see get their shit kicked in more. Eren or Armin.

This. Can't remember the name of the manga, but in the first few chapters MC little girl gets sucked into an "Alice in wonderland" trance. Fucked up shit happens and she comes out to realize she was raped.
The idea of pyschological thrillers that build suspense or uses the idea of your own mind warping reality is the best horror genre. For anyone who has ever had a season of reoccurring nightmares, had bad drug trips, or went through a reality changing horrific life experience, it hits home.
I think the idea of fear itself and the unknown darkness that lies within yourself is scarier than any ghost or zombie.

>that face
>glaring
It's been so long since I read SnK that I forgot how difficult it is to read facial expressions drawn by Isayama. Some people in those SnK generals (are those still around?) were really good at interpreting what each character was thinking but I never could unless it was really really obvious, like shock or apoplectic rage.

>in the first few chapters MC little girl gets sucked into an "Alice in wonderland" trance. Fucked up shit happens and she comes out to realize she was raped.
Was it Sekai Oni? I only read a couple chapters of that one ages ago and completely forgot what it was about but I feel something like that happened

Yeah Sekai Oni. First couple chapters were creepy and fucked up. Then it got sad. Then plot twists. Then glimpse of hope. Then sad. Then stupid. Then stupid ending.
Was disappoint.

Yeah, it's supposed to be a glare, at least that's the consensus /snk/ came up with. (We're around but we're dead and full of cancer.) It makes sense in context, because Eren just screamed all of a sudden a few pages prior and then lied about it being nothing, so Armin knows he's hiding something.

However, I hate to say it because I hate this theory, but Armin might be hiding something as well. Pic unfortunately related.

Sounds incredibly retarded to fit the titans' thing inside that plot. I guess the royal family were all Jews and that's why the girl who got the coordinate went from wanting to destroy the wall to hate the people inside them?

However there is this crazy antagonist named Master or something. Like Slenderman with pig ears and a person's face.
One scene he's walking amongst his followers and they are like
> "we are sooo happy".
> "Ahh you guys are too happy...Hmm...If you never experience despair, you never really appreciate happiness. You there! Little boy, do you love your life?"
> "Yeah...."
> "Perfect!"
He then rips off the kid's mom's head in public while laughing and then cuts the kid in half as people start panicking.

No, the royal family were white. The coordinate holder, if they have Reiss or Fritz blood (may be same bloodline, please hold) they will get "possessed" by the first king, or they'll learn the truth of the world and become very nihilistic.

The titans fit very well because they were created by the jews to use as herders of whites.

Except that backfired because now the coordinate is a (half) white guy who's allied with the walls and can turn all of those titans against the jews at any time.

Dragon head is not exactly scary,but the more you read it, the more it leaves you hopeless and genuinely scared of the situation these two kids live in.

Post the page

I remember this one, the leopard mask kid was freaky enough but the darkness in the tunnel may as well have been a character itself.

Ok gotta find it. No idea what chapter it's in. But it's the epitome of "Well fuck. That escalated quickly"

...

Second page

It's played for laughs, but I can't bring myself to read Franken Fran. Seeing (relatively) innocent people get fucked over like that just unsettles me and makes me go the whole night thinking what happens next after they got mutated into horrible monsters.
