An online blog chronicles her every action, even impersonating her. Then the threatening faxes (only in Japan would it be fax instead of email) and creepy letters.

We've rounded up some of the best, scariest, and most memorable horror anime released over the past couple of decades. Some are scary, some funny, and some just plain weird. There's horror anthologies, multi-part ensemble shows with complicated plots, and series and movies that mix horror with other genres, such as sci-fi and high school drama. Some take influence from Japan's traditional legends of ghosts and curses, while others deliver disturbing body horror and over-the-top gore. Of course, as with live-action horror, there are many different types of scary anime. With writers and animators able to put anything-no matter how weird or disturbing-on screen, and very little in the way of restriction on content, horror anime has truly pushed the boundaries of the genre, and consequently found many appreciative fans in the West. Japan has a rich tradition of horror that goes back many centuries, so it's little surprise that the nation has produced some great horror anime over the years.
