What are some popular scary animated stories?

'Courage the Cowardly Dog' is quite popular. It has a lot of spooky elements like strange creatures and eerie settings that can be a bit scary for kids in a fun way.

Well, 'Coraline' is quite popular. It's about a girl who discovers a parallel world through a small door in her new home. This other world seems perfect at first, but it quickly turns into a nightmare with button - eyed creatures. The detailed and slightly off - kilter animation really enhances the scariness. It plays on the fear of the unknown and the idea that things that seem too good to be true often are.

The fact that they are animated gives them an edge. Animation allows for more creativity in terms of the design of the scary elements. The colors, the shapes, and the overall aesthetic can be crafted to create a truly spooky atmosphere. It can also reach a wider audience, including kids (although some might be too scared) and adults alike. And the stories often touch on deep - seated fears that we all have, like the fear of the unknown or the fear of being alone in a creepy place, which makes them relatable and thus popular.

Well, 'The Black Cauldron' is quite popular. It has a dark and menacing atmosphere with an evil Horned King who wants to use the Black Cauldron for his evil deeds. The animation style, especially when showing the undead Cauldron - Born, is really scary.

One good animated scary story is 'Corpse Bride'. It has a dark and spooky atmosphere with its unique animation style. The story of a young man accidentally marrying a corpse bride is both eerie and engaging.

Well, there's a new scary animated story where a group of kids find an old VHS tape with an unlabeled animated short. When they play it, the characters in the animation start to appear in their house, causing all kinds of spooky things to happen like objects moving on their own and cold drafts. Another one is about a virtual reality game that turns into a nightmare. The animated graphics in the game become real - level monsters that chase the players in the real world. And then there's a story about an abandoned animation studio where the old, half - finished projects seem to have a life of their own and haunt the new owners.

Well, 'Frozen' is a well - known animated story. It has a strong female lead and a story about sisterly love and self - discovery. 'Moana' is also great. It's set in a Polynesian world and the story of Moana's journey to save her island is really inspiring. And then there's 'Zootopia', which is about a world of animals where a rabbit cop tries to solve a mystery in the big city.

One of the scariest might be the story about the haunted doll. It has this really creepy face and it seems to move on its own in the middle of the night. The animators did a great job of making it look so realistic that it sends shivers down your spine.

Well, 'The Other Side' is a good one. It's about a young girl who discovers a strange world on the other side of a mirror. The animation is beautifully done but also very spooky. 'The Haunted House' is also a classic - it follows a group of friends who enter an old, abandoned house and encounter all sorts of terrifying things. Oh, and 'The Red Room' where the main character enters a room with a mysterious and menacing presence.

Well, there could be a story where a group of Autobots find an ancient Transformer tomb. When they accidentally awaken a long - dormant evil Transformer, it unleashes a horde of mechanical nightmares upon them. The Autobots have to fight not only the main threat but also these smaller, yet equally terrifying creations.
