While we could always argue over what is horror vs something with horror elements, I think these are some of my faves:
When I discovered dorohedoro manga, I only stopped reading because I fell asleep be8ng too tired. It’s such a good manga. It even has its own soundtrack!

Honestly this is the first time I found the bandcamp link for it. I only ever saved a playlist on YouTube lol
Seems to be legit when compared to these lists.

I think it’s time for a reread
You’ve probably already discovered it, but Q Hayashida has a newish manga series out called Dai Dark that scratches the same itch.
Higurashi or Another
It’s a toss-up between The Promised Neverland and The Summer Hikaru Died.
I like how they did the horror elements in Hikaru. Actually gave me goosebumps on some scenes.
Very rare for horror stuff to look that good in an anime.
Mieruko-chan was pretty good, funny and spooky. A little bit hornier than I was looking for, but not too ecchi.
Mushishi isn’t outright horror, but some of the plotlines are so unnerving they live with me rent-free.
I don’t watch a lot of horror, but The Summer Hikaru Died wins easily for me.
Hm, Higurashi, maybe. I don’t watch a lot of horror anime, weirdly enough. I love horror stuff otherwise.
Kaya-chan Isn’t Scary, from the current season.
But don’t take me serious, it’s pretty much the only one I watched in this genre. And it’s very much balanced with cuteness. But it really creeps me out.

Best to go in blind.
There’s a Junji Ito anime series! I think it’s a Netflix production.
I haven’t seen it, but I’ve heard Monster is supposed to be good
evangelion, i guess you can say the old one. the new one can be horror depending on how you see it(not the ending, but the entry into mysterious realm minus space)
Monster

I don’t know if it counts as horror but Perfect Blue. Maybe more thriller than horror.
