Asian Horror Movie Database now open

Let us get things started...again.

The Asian Horror Movie Database is now up and running with about 200 movies on the list. It might still take a while before I can get all of the movie links up so please be patient.

Take note that these are not my movies. All the credit still goes to the original uploaders of the movies.

Watch the links while you can. Some movies, especially decent English-subbed ones, are hard to find. Once the links are taken down, you might not see the movie again for a very long time, if ever.

Let me know what works for you guys. If you have any suggestions on Asian horror movies that you would like to see on the list or if the links aren't working, leave a comment at the bottom of the page or send an email using the Contact widget on the right. Again, donations for the upkeep of this site are greatly appreciated.

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.
