Ten Things I Learned While Watching Asian Horror

1."Fierce ghost and vampires can be subdued by affixing Taoist charms --writing in red ink on yellow paper--to their foreheads. But the temptation to play with these immobilized ghoulies(push them, insult them, et) is completely irresistible and completely unadvised

lol i want to know what movies you've been watching :p

*has been watching a bunch of Japanese horror-flicks the last two days*

I found this list in a book about Japanese Horror and figured that I'd post it for everyone's enjoyment.

The most recent thing I've seen has been the Korean 'Two Sisters', which was pretty screwed up, but very good.

#7 dont you mean the Japanese number for four? hehe. It's Shi, which is also the word for death. unless chinese and japanese have the same evil 4 thing going on.

ooooh and i want to see that two sisters movie. i saw a korean one called the phone? or telephone? or something like that which was freaky. I also really liked ju on and the ring was okay. ;P

oooh I've seen some other japanese films that weren't horror, but you may be interested in them anyway..
samurai fiction
zatoichi:the blind swordsman
battle royale
Onmyouji

yep. anyway. 8bounces off*
