resources

The term used to refer to Japanese horror is known as J-horror (just like J-pop for Japanese pop).Differently from western horrors which usually focus on murderers and killing sprees; Japanese horror involves psychological tension, ghosts, poltergeists and shamanism (e.g. exorcism, folk religion)
