Go Nagai's Devilman is one of the most influential manga of all time. A seminal effort in both themes and tone, it set the standard and paved the way for the gory, edgy stories popular today among the teenagers and young adults. You'd be surprised just how many of them trace their thematic lineage to the ol' Devilboi.

How to quickly recognize a Devilman-inspired story:
* the protagonist somehow ends up imbued with some kind of dark power that makes them stronger at the expense of their humanity;
* having said power influences their personality and/or physique in a major way;
* it is used to combat antagonists having powers of a similar or identical origin who seek to prey on the protagonist or the humankind in general;
* although the protagonist is aligned with humankind, his powers make other people afraid of him or try to use him for their own benefit;
* death, violent dismemberment, grotesque imagery, and other fun hijinks ensue;
* some sort of a major betrayal is expected.

There could be other, less obvious parallels, like the religious symbolism or anti-war themes.

I won't be including every single title I'm aware of here—only the good/notable ones. If you aren't sure how the stories in question relate to Devilman, feel free to find it in the list of recommendations and read what people say there. I won't be annotating this list to avoid spoilers.

Honorable mention: Kemonozume, an anime-only series by Masaaki Yuasa that is basically a beat-by-beat copy of Devilman. Many years later Yuasa was brought on board to direct an actual adaptation of Devilman.

This list constitutes my personal views and stances. If something isn't on it, it likely means I haven't seen it or don't have an informed opinion on the matter. Feel free to shoot me suggestions via DMs, but make sure you have a convincing argument if it's not something that's already on my main manga/anime list. I don't promise it'll end up here, but I will consider all suggestions.

The Masked Man is an American YouTuber who makes videos primarily about manga, but also anime, and very occasionally video games. He does in-depth analysis on the subjects he talks about. Here is his top 50 manga.

NOTE:-
"Fata Morgana no Yakata: Anata no Hitomi wo Tozasu Monogatari" is not manga, its a Visual Novel.(https://vndb.org/v12402)
Consider this list from Beserk to OPM to be the actual manga list.

Just manga that are creepy af. Good writing is optional. DECENT writing is optional. The spook is all that matters.

Can be creepy in terms of visuals, atmosphere/tension, or content matter (e.g. dystopian, psychological horror, etc)

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Manga with tactical fights/strategic battles that are not determined by strength or numbers but how they use what they have available to them, using their knowledge/cunning to outsmart their opponent, exploiting weakness, planning beforehand or quick thinking in the heat of battle and using what's in their immediate surroundings to their advantage.

Not all included manga are at the same level when it comes to tactical fights/strategic battles and while the majority of fights are tactical and the battles strategic there are some that are not.

Some of my personal favorite manga that are underrated/underappreciated or are regarded highly but nobody seems to mention. Some manga lack an audience in the west while others struggled with translations during the times of publishing, however every manga listed is amazing and truly works of art that need more attention.

Below are similar manga I've strung together if you enjoy any manga in a category check out the other works as they are similar.

Manga that take power systems to new levels: world trigger, ajin, dorohedoro, kamisama no iutoori 1&2, psyren, karakuri circus

Psychological manga that will rock your brain: usogui, bokutachi ga yarimashita, kokou no hito, billy bat, blame!, freesia, i am a hero, imawa no kuni alice, ikigama

Supernatural graphic seinen: hellsing, drifters, priest, gannibal, Kouya ni Kemono Doukokusu, dorohedoro, ajin, Souboutei Kowasubeshi, Keyman
