This Halloween season, you may turn to the classics like “A Nightmare on Elm Street” or even “Hocus Pocus.”

But if your desire is to be scared, startled or completely spooked out, we present some horror anime options. Anime can take thrills, twists and gore to a level that live-action can’t.

Adding to all the witches, ghosts, killer pumpkins and vampires — yes, this list includes vampires — there’s also kid-sized crimefighting detectives, demon slayers and some man-eating giants.

Here’s a list of 13 anime series and films you should check out this spooky season.

1. “Tokyo Ghoul” (2014)
