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.

The series was made by Naomi Iwata, who made other unique 3D animated features like Pecola, Pingu in the city, and the other obscure horror series Gregory Horror Show, that was made into a PS2 game by Capcom, and reached cult status (It takes place in the same world as Midnight Horror School apart of the Horror World).

The series would be dubbed in English, thanks to the MHS English subs group on youtube! All 52 episodes are available to watch:
