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.

Asian Horror Movies that have Won Internationally
Since the release of Ringu and its
Hollywood remakes, Asian horror films have become popular in other countries
outside the continent. Although Asian horror movies have produced good numbers
worldwide, the splash in international film awards has been smaller than
expected. A nomination for any Asian horror flick in the Oscars, the Academy
Awards should not be expected anytime soon. Horror flicks in general have done
poorly in such prestigious events. Those that pass rarely win any major awards.
Here are a few of the more popular Asian horror films and their accolades on
the international stage.
