cartoons can't be scary

this guy's got it. it is hard to find good horror regardless of the medium of choice. whats the last book/show/movie you got through that actually scared you?

First you would need like the best group of animators in existence, and this doesn't even meet the criteria it requires but is the less for it to work, then they need a good director, regarldess of how shit Another was, whoever was the director did a pretty good job with the setting, the entire scenery made it feel like something was going to jump at the screen at any time, yet nothing ever did, that's good directing/visual directing or whatever is called, then they need an OST that actually fit the horror genre which I cannot even think about, is like you are watching something that is supposed to be scary and then LALALALU YOUR LOVE WAS LIKE A STRAWBERRY, simply no, finally a good writer, a good script is needed, Mayoiga had potential for the first set of episodes but then just no, what the fuck they were thinking.
Bottom line is just impossible.
There are some that are pretty good, try watching REC, is a spanish movie so you need to find subs for it.

Junji Ito, bro
People would of course disagree and they are correct, subjectively because plenty of Ito's horrors are designed for specific phobias and would not work on ordinary folks

>Gyo: fear of fishes
>Blood Fruit: fear of blood
>hanging baloons: fear of chocking
>This hole was for me: fear of tight spaces
etc

There is nothing scarier than the experience of being utter frightened at something but be surrounded than the crowd of people who just laughs at it.

baccano had some scary parts.

Welcome to the NHK is scary. 7 years ago when I first watched it, it was scary because there is a possibility I could end up that way. Now, I am living that life, minus a Misaki of my own knocking on my door.

Not OP but I'd go Event Horizon, then decided to read some creepy pastas and ended up having a panic attack huddled in a corner when I walked past a mirror.

The main problem with horror is its hard to pull off without resorting to /fightflight response tactics (jump scares etc) while at the same time trying to come up with something that isn't relying on the primal response to viscera (gore). Anime has a hard problem because its clearly not real. What I mean by this is that we know when something is "fake" whether its games, shows or other mediums. Now to many lurkers here and on other boards, some things which are real (history, GIFS, wbems) may have desensitized things but to a normie, things which are clearly real; especially visceral will evoke a clear reaction of "horror" and anime just can't get on that level. Live action might help but it would still come into the same issues.

A better alternative would be to work on a feeling of dread after veiwing, maybe its a concept or a lurking possible phobia but as long as it continues to affect the watchers thoughts after the show then that could be a more successful avenue in regards to incorporating fear elements into anime.

Didn't like it much desu.
The last horror movie I liked is We Are What We Are and it's not scary, just comfy, pardon my shitty buzzword.
