Can you recommend some animated scary short stories?

One popular animated scary story is 'Corpse Bride'. It's a stop - motion animated film with a spooky yet romantic tale set in a land of the dead. The animation style adds to the eerie atmosphere.

Another example is 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'. Jack Skellington from Halloweentown discovers Christmas Town and tries to bring his version of Christmas to his spooky home. While it may not seem as straightforwardly scary as the others at first, the dark visuals, the macabre characters, and the idea of misinterpreting such a beloved holiday are quite chilling in an animated and somewhat true - to - the - nature - of - the - holiday - spirit way.

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.

One of the scariest could be 'The Haunted Doll'. It's about a doll that seems to move on its own at night and causes all kinds of strange happenings in the house.

Sure. 'Paperman' is a great one. It's a Disney short about a young man in a 1940s - style city who uses paper airplanes to get the attention of a girl he saw on the train platform. Another is 'The Windshield Wiper', which tells different love stories in a very artistic way.

There's also 'Beware the Jinn'. This short animated story delves into the world of Arabian mythology's jinn. The dark and shadowy art style, combined with the menacing nature of the jinn, makes it a great horror short.

One great short animated horror story is 'The Backrooms'. It's about a person who stumbles into a strange, never - ending series of yellow - tinted rooms. Another is 'The Babadook'. The animation of this story can be really creepy, with the Babadook itself being a menacing presence. And there's also 'The Thing in the Woods', which has a spooky atmosphere as it tells the tale of a mysterious entity lurking in the forest.

Sure. 'The Gift of the Magi' by O. Henry is a great non - animated short story. It tells the story of a young couple who are short on money but deeply in love. They each sacrifice their most precious possession to buy a gift for the other, showing the true meaning of love and selflessness.

Well, 'Bao' is a short animated love story that focuses on the love between a mother and her son, which is a different kind of love but very touching. 'Somewhere' is also a nice one, showing a love story in a dreamy and somewhat surreal setting. And 'Dear Basketball' can be considered as it has Kobe Bryant's love for basketball, which is a passion - based love story, presented in an animated and very inspiring way.

Sure. 'The Snowman' is a very cute animated short story. It tells the adventure of a snowman that comes to life. The hand - drawn animation is beautiful and the story is full of magic and innocence. Another one is 'Wallace & Gromit: A Grand Day Out'. The claymation is charming, and the relationship between Wallace and his dog Gromit is really endearing as they travel to the moon in search of cheese.
