I need a domestic anime that has ugly/scary old hags possibly screaming and running around. If anyone knows such an anime, please let me know and what discs/eps it's on. This is for a comedy video. Thanks!

Something along the lines of Yubaba from Spirited away but alot uglier and scarier.

In Cowboy Bebop there's a character named Faye

...just kidding, although she is scary. In episode two, I think. The one where they pick up Ein, there's the old pet store owner.

And then in a later episode, there's the tall woman leading the animal rights terrorists.

Ranma 1/2 - this one is stretching my memory, but maybe Shampoo's grandmother (mother?). She's the one who was always calling Ranma "son-in-law".

Phantom Quest - the old fortune teller was always screaming at Ayaka for not paying her bills. There were a few scenes; don't recall which episode, but there are only four to look through.

Mermaid's Forest may have what you're looking for. The manga has many old, very decrepit hags who run and scream, and I'm pretty sure the anime has them too (the OAV, that is).
Gokudo is another one that could work. Also, Zirconia from Sailor Moon SuperS certainly fits the bill as far as appearance and yelling (I'm not sure she ever runs, though). So I'd recommend checking Mermaid's Forest above the other two.

Those sound like good suggestions. Although Mermaid forest isn't coming out till...... july and AMV HELL's deadline might be long over by then..

I'm looking for something horror movie like scary old hags but I'll look into those for alternatives. Thanks!

Really ? Hmm, after checking, I see you're right. I'd seen it in Blockbuster as a kid on VHS, so I just sorta figured they would've had a DVD release by now. Ah, well. If I can think of anything else, I'll let ya know.
