The "Horror" of Japanese Culture!
On Wednesday and Thursday, Mr. Blackwelder's Japanese classes took a
closer look at the terrors within J-Horror (Japanese Horror). Our main focus was
kaijuu, or giant beasts, and yuurei, or vengeful ghosts. The impact of yuurei on
the Japanese and American popular film market, beginning with films like Ringu
(1998) and Juon (2001) and their American counterparts The Ring (2002) and The
Grudge (2004) and continuing through the present with The Ring 3D coming out
next year, were examined in-depth. In short, students gained a new reason to
keep a light on at night.
