We've come quite a ways since this 13 Days of Halloween countdown started, and I'll admit Day 9 has been giving me a whole lot of trouble. I considered using Satoshi Kon's psychological thriller Perfect Blue, but I've sort of covered that before and I wanted something new. I considered another personal favorite, the little known Mononoke, but MollyBibbles covered that once already too.

Halloween countdown, Day 8: Today I'd like to step away from the monsters and the sci-fi and touch on a more modern take on horror. In the wake of the massively successful SAW film franchise the trend toward psychological thrillers, gruesome ultimatums, ultra-gore, and mind games became a major focus in some rings of the horror fan community.

Welcome back to the 13 Day Halloween countdown! It's day seven, our approximate half way mark. Today I'm covering Uzumaki (lit. "[the] Spiral" though sometimes referred to as "The Vortex"), by Junji Ito.

Day 6 and we're finally into the heat of it! In the past decade the zombie trend has really spread like a plague itself, but what many film goers and videogame fans don't realize is that the zombies themselves aren't the element of the trend that makes it so sensational.

Today we're going over a shorter film, a 25 minute piece released in 2005 by CoMixWave inc., the small studio that was relatively unknown before they picked up young underdog director, Makoto Shinkai, whom I have covered once already, and recently a second time for the English premiere of his latest film at Otakon 2011.

At last, we really get into the swing of things with this Halloween theme! Number four in this line up is a modern cult favorite around anime fans on the internet, Franken Fran.

Welcome to Day 3! Today's title? Jigoku Shoujo (Lit. "Hell Girl") I'll admit right off the bat that I feel like I'm taking a step backwards here in some ways. When it comes right down to it, going from the Vampire Hunter D movies to the Hell Girl anime is a definite drop in quality on most mechanical levels.

Bismarck Kamen is back for more Halloween reviews! I'll be skipping the introductions from here on out on the assumption that you know where you are, who I am, and what you're reading. If for some reason you can't answer one or all of these questions, let me direct you to yesterday's article and we can be on our way. Today I'm going to tackle two films of a classic anime horror title, Vampire Hunter D.
