Horrorman is a recurring skeleton character appearing across multiple Anpanman media. His design features a skeletal structure with prominent cheekbones and kneecaps, consistently dressed in a long, tattered purple shirt displaying crossed bones on the chest.

Personality-wise, he presents a contrast between his frightening appearance and actual behavior. Though initially seeming scary, he is easy to take advantage of, happy-go-lucky, and clumsy. He enjoys attempting to scare others but rarely succeeds intentionally, often causing accidental frights instead. He frequently uses the verbal tic "hora" in dialogue.

His primary relationship involves an ongoing obsession with Dokeen; he frequently gathers flowers or food to impress her despite lacking reciprocation. He sometimes collaborates with Baikinman but does not consistently align with villainous activities.

Horrorman's notable ability involves removing bones from his shirt to use as boomerang weapons.

Backstory details remain limited and inconsistent across media. He first appeared as a mentor to Chibigon in the 1991 film *Soreike! Anpanman: Tobe! Tobe! Chibigon*, though this role is confined to movie continuity and not referenced in the television series. A separate 2007 film short features the character Horako claiming Horrorman was formerly a prince. His origins and early history lack concrete elaboration in official material.

The character has appeared in various spin-offs and specials, including *Soreike! Anpanman: Kokin-chan to Aoi Namida* and *Sore Ike! Anpanman: Horrorman to Hora Horako*.
