I've read some shoujo horror manga that's pretty good. What I've read isn't translated though.

I understand them, I just don't think they'r'e very good. "Don't look at that weird thing over there or you're cursed for life" Wow, great story Matsumoto.

Sadako being a weird sex symbol is one of the funniest Japanisms ever. They couldn't even keep up the facade that a woman popping out of a TV isn't hot for a week

>>291630782
was she a tranny or just a woman with balls
>>
>>291623638
any horror trope or monster can sound silly when explained, this is not something exclusive to japanese horror
>>
>>291623638
>japanese horror
>some ancient thing, ghost, or curse, still in the realm of paranormal stuff
>western horror
>depression, anxiety, loneliness, people are the real monsters hurr durr
yeah, I'm sticking with japanese horror

Literally what else is there to make a good horror story about?
Dying brutally, being haunted by the dead, or falling into some story of demons or monsters, are basically the foundations for every horror story.

>>291631545
um, sweaty, today's horror standards are empty rooms and women deprived of their freedom, get with the times

>>291623638
I like Japanese yokai autism
>>
>>291631137
She had functional testicals in the original rendition. I guess this was supposed to add to the horror?
>>
>>291631623
Yokai are basically anti-autistic, really.
They're very random and operate on dream logic. You have to be able to accept a world without logic or structure to get the vibe.

Lol
