Uff. So there's the old anime, which I will fully admit I have no idea if it holds up. Then there's the new anime... which I think is best watched AFTER you play all the visual novels (in my humble opinion). The new anime does something interesting, but I wouldn't really call it horror.
Either way, I think the visual novels are better than either. Just as a sidenote, there is basically no input or choices in the VNs. There are some things like news articles you unlock while playing the games. Other than that, it's just music, text, and characters. As I said I do think they are really good.
Currently there are 10 games. Each of them about 10hs in lenght. You dont have to play all 10 of them to get something out of it. For example Higurashi When They Cry Hou - Ch.1 Onikakushi is basically a story in the larger plot. The more chapters you read the more you will know about the mystery of Hinamizawa...what exactly happened and what is real or ficiton. Screenshot below.
