Some animated horror stories from Japan also fall into this category. For instance, 'Perfect Blue' has a very dark and complex narrative. It blurs the lines between reality and illusion as the main character, a pop idol, descends into a world of paranoia and danger. The animation style enhances the feeling of unease and the overall story is quite twisted as it explores themes of identity, obsession, and the dark side of the entertainment industry.
One example is 'Corpse Bride'. It tells a rather dark story of a man who accidentally marries a corpse. The animation style and the overall atmosphere are both spooky and twisted. Another one could be 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'. It features Jack Skellington from Halloween Town who discovers Christmas and tries to take it over in his own, somewhat dark and chaotic way.
A lesser - known but very dark and twisted animated horror story is 'Ernest & Celestine'. It might seem cute at first with its animal characters, but it delves into some rather dark themes like social outcasting and the struggle between different species. It shows how the two main characters, an unlikely pair, face a lot of difficulties and prejudices in their world which has a very eerie undertone to it. There's also 'Over the Garden Wall' which is filled with strange and often disturbing encounters as the two main characters try to find their way home through a very odd and spooky land.
