The arrival of summer often means the arrival of the blockbuster movies and series. These often involve the horror flicks, things that give you reason to wrap your arms around a loved one as you screech. In countries such as Japan, summer has arrived with its promise of adventure and its associated scares. Unfortunately summer has passed in our country, and our horror season falls in October, before Halloween.

But if you happen to enjoy things that go bump in the night, and things that shake, rattle and roll, this is a great season for you, with five titles to choose from. One can follow them right now through various means, or decide to wait until Halloween for a great watch-fest.  Almost all these series experiment with and combine several genres. They are an enjoyable way to raise the hairs on your nape while having a good time watching anime for all the right reasons.
