A Year In Horror

Nihon Nightmares (Part 2: Supremacy)

Episode Summary

I join here as a co-host to Marc Canale who will guide me through the origins of J-Horror. Together in this episode we begin our journey through the evolution of J-Horror, tapping into the history and early work of the originators of the genre and coming out the other side, I hope, fully prepped for the onslaught of what's to come. Today we explore the franchises. The retellings. The Japanese inclination to rework stories, films, etc. So, hold tight as we dip into Godzilla, Zatoichi, Ring, Ju-on and Tomie & so much more.
