31 Days Of Anime Horror Part 23: ‘Vampire Knight’

It’s October and that means it’s time to get into the spirit of the season, and obviously nothing gets you into the Halloween mood better than horror. Unfortunately when it comes to most live-action horror films, there’s only so much that can be done and shown, but thankfully of all things, Anime can cross the line with story, gore, and intriguing storytelling. So for every day this month, I’ll be featuring a unique Anime that fits the horror genre that you can most likely find on any streaming service. Oh look, more vampires in Vampire Knight!

Vampire Knight (2008) follows Yuki, a girl who was saved by a vampire when she was young, years later she now serves on a protection committee at an elite boarding school to protect the Day Class from the Night Class (which is made up of vampires) who’s head of the group is the vampire that saved her when she was young and had now developed a crush on.

With 26 episodes in the series, the show may not be as gory as you want, but for some of you out there who like vampire romance with secrets that will make you cry, this is for you!
