13 Best Animated Horror Movies, Ranked
Jan 13, 2025
Horror movies have been around since the beginning of cinema, and their execution and tropes have shifted with time. The best-known early horror movie was made by Georges Méliès in 1806, titled Le Manoir du Diable, and it may even be considered the earliest horror film. In it, a historic castle is under siege by a mischievous demon and his jokes. Horror films then began to evolve as the medium continued to grow, and even Thomas Edison’s Edison Studios made their horror film with a 1910 adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Animated movies were not yet in vogue until the release of Walt Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937, but this marked new territory for horror movies.
Animation pleases the senses in a way that a live-action movie cannot offer, so it seems only natural to take on fantasy and certain horror concepts with these kinds of films. Within the horror genre, animation allows filmmakers to create something inhumane, terrifying, and not human. These are the best animated horror movies, ranked.
