13 legit animated Horror FEATURE Films
And yes I consider Mad Monster Party more of a horror film than Svankmajer's Alice. Remember these are just MY recommendations.
Most horror animation lists are strictly for shorts because that's the medium the genre dominates in animation...but occasionally, you have some stuff that doesn't just look creepy or feature monsters and Halloween. Nah sometimes...you have a legit animated horror on your hands. I love those sometimes!
Ratings/Content Warning stuff:
Family = Kids can watch it.
Adult = Kids can’t watch it but teenagers can. Contains swearing and adult situations
Horror = Classic horror/thriller with some good scares and creepy imagery.
Goth = Less horror and more on the macabre or suspense side of things.
Surreal = Weird stuff that crosses into the other genres.
Comedy = Funny stuff w. maybe some cuteness too.
Drama = Horror and monsters used to make you sad or tell a gripping story.
GORE = Take this as your Trigger Warning. Films with this label are gorey and not for the faint of heart in that department.
MATURE = Not for kids; contains disturbing subject matter such as abuse or sexual encounters.
