Many people who do not understand anime, try to equate it with American cartoons, but its nature can be far greater than that of mere cartoons. Anime shows come in all different genres, and there are many under the horror genre that'll make you squirm and hold on to the edge of your seat. As the crisp breeze of autumn begins to flow and the leaves start to change, "cuddle" season will soon be in full effect. And with Halloween weeks away, what better way to spend your time indoors than to check out some awesome anime shows? Forget Netflix and chill (although you can use Netflix to watch anime), because anime and chill is where it's at. Here are 11 spooky and horrifying anime shows that'll have you holding one another for dear life--not literally I hope.

1. Another

This mystery horror thriller is bound to have you feeling a bit creeped out, especially if you're watching it in a creaky house in the middle of the night. No one is safe in this twist-filled anime series with a ghostly vibe.


2. Corpse Party: Tortured Souls

If you're a fan of horror films with gore and gruesome deaths, you've found the right anime series for you. What starts off as a warm goodbye to a friend, becomes a fight for survival among these unlucky students.


3. Parasyte (Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu )

If you enjoyed the movie The Faculty, then this series will not disappoint you. Parasitic aliens are pretty darn terrifying.


4. Tokyo Ghoul

As dangerous and bloodthirsty beings called "ghouls" walk among humans, those who want to live normal lives are unwilling dragged into the dark and gruesome life of fearsome ghouls.


4. Death Parade

While not completely on the terrifying side of things as the others on the list, this series will have one deeply thinking about life and the possibilities of what's to come after life ends.


5. High school of the Dead

For those of you who are fans of "The Walking Dead," or simply have a love of the undead, you're in for a treat with this action-packed anime series.


6. Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin )

Can you imagine waking up to see a giant humanoid creature (a titan) destroying your town and eating your friends? No? Well, watching this will definitely help you picture that terrifying image.


7. Blood- C

Monsters and brutal deaths fill this anime as you follow monster-slaying Saya along on her journey.


8. Death Note

Armed with a notebook called the "Death Note" and a shinigami also known as the god of death, one has the power to instantly kill so long as they have their victim's name.


9. Elfen Lied

Conspiracies and government experimentation revolve around the protagonist in this action and horror series. Be prepared to gasp and cringe.


10. Hell girl (Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori )

This anime will make you wonder how far you'd be willing to go to extract revenge on those who've wronged you, even if there's a price you'd have to pay.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
