***Midnight Horror School*** (Japanese: ミッドナイトホラースクール, *Middonaito Horā Sukūru*) is a Japanese CGI anime series about a school for items and things long forgotten by humans. As midnight hits, an otherwise normal school becomes the Midnight Horror School, and the many objects within the school forgotten by it's students and teachers come to life. There are 26 students, each representing an individual letter of the alphabet. Each has a unique ability, or "wonder," that they hope will become one of the wonders of the world.

It was created by Naomi Iwata and produced by Milky Cartoon. It uses the same graphic style as another series' created by Iwata: *Gregory Horror Show* and *Pecola*.

The series ran from October 1, 2003 to March 24, 2004.

## Description

***The description from Animation International Ltd. website:***

*Featuring ghost kids in a surreal elementary school setting, Midnight Horror School (HMS) masterfully blends mystery, fun, and horror for six through twelve-year olds in full-CG 3D animation.*

*At night, classroom objects, that could be anything, transmute into "kid-ghosts" and "midnight school life" begins. A little scary, but irresistibly enticing.*

*On the stroke of the midnight - as children drift into the dream land of slumber - their school transforms itself into a surreal schoolhouse. Familiar classroom objects suddenly transform into "ghost-kids"... and the fun begins! Enter our cast of characters: "Hikky", the pencil boy, drawing graffiti on the chalkboard; "Docky", a skeletal specimen who loves to slide down the handrail and timing himself; "Piranin", a quasi-fish person, floating in the pond and sighing "I'm dead tired...; "Tuby", a boy from a coloring book, forever searching for his cap, which is always on his head anyway. Something fascinating and bizarre is always happening at Midnight Horror School.*

*A unique aspect of MHS is that no two character's names begin with the same letter. Each characters' name corresponds to a letter of the alphabet. We believe that this aspect will extensively broaden merchandising possibilities.*
