Guide to the Unknown 130: J-Horror
We're talking about J-Horror! Japanese Horror!
Where does it come from? Culturally, folkloric-ally? We're trying to do the impossible: figure out the origins of iconic horror like The Ring, The Grudge, and Uzumaki!
Also we're compiling a short catalogue of alarming ghosts. These Yokai are skeletal, insectoid, and sometimes they're just trying to take a peek at you!
