What's your favourite horror anime?

I can't dredge up many "horror" titles off of the top of my mind (that got to me, anyway). However, Perfect Blue would have to top that non-existent list, had it existed. Directed by Satoshi Kon (came out like 1997 or '98, so it's kind of old by now), the protagonist is the head of a female pop group, who has aspirations of reaching TV/movie land. As she takes steps towards changing careers, she finds out her biggest fan doesn't like this and strange, disturbing things begin happening to her that challenge her sanity and being-alive-status. An excellent movie to watch in the dark, when you're all by your lonesome.

Satoshi Kon is also the director and/or creator (something in there) of Millennium Actress, Paprika, Paranoia Agent, and Tokyo Godfathers. I love 'em all. He is an artist when it comes to mind-bending works.
 
I really don't have a favorite in the horror genre but if I did it would probably be Ghost Hound


Gilgamesh, Wicked City, Demon City Shinjuku, Boogiepop Phantom and Gantz, are other interesting horror titles to I watched.
 
Well there is a new anime called shiki (corpse demon) which is currently still going on, i mean i like it. It's pretty intense. The basic plot is that there is a mysterious disease which is going around killing people, but the thing is it is actually corpse demons going around bitting people, they die within 3 days or so. this all started when a new family moved into the old manor. The people who die then become corpse demons themselves. There is also high school of the dead currently going on also. That is all the horror anime i've been watching =)

How are you guys considering "When They Cry" to be horror? I have only watched 2 chapters out of 6 so far, but there is hardly anything horrific about it. Maybe about 3 minutes total in 9 episodes I have watched could be considered horror.
