Asian Horror Comics

I was trying to do some research on comic books, manga or graphic novels about Asian horror. My initial impression was that the two-dimensional graphics on a typical comic book would not be able to do justice on what makes Asian horror movies fascinating and scary to watch. Try these selections and decide for yourself whether such literature can be considered as scary as Asian horror films.

Categorizing Asian Horror Movies

When one speaks of horror films, the immediate thought that comes to mind is that of ghosts or monsters. Much of what the outside world would consider Asian horror films to include seeing a figure of a woman with long hair, a body of water, more displaced hair, some scary-looking kids and black cats among others. To an extent, viewers will still find movies that use one or more of these elements, even years after Ringu and Ju-on first hit the cinemas. However, categorize Asian horror flicks to these elements alone and you would be missing out on a lot of other great movies.
