Animation may not be synonymous with horror, but movies like Phil Tippet's Mad God use claymation to push the boundaries of horror movies.
The Big Picture When it comes to scares alone, animated horror films can be a tough sell.

Not just on the level of creepy, yet family-oriented films, though we have them in abundance and most if not all of them could be put in the top 50 animated films of all time, but legitimate entries in the horror genre.
