Podcasts about Japanese horror

We begin in Japan, a place full of some of the best horror lore ever! Yotsuya Kaidan is the fictional, two centuries old story of a struggling samurai so desperate to escape the trappings of poverty that he horrifically betrays the one person who truly loves him. A person who refuses to stay gone when he gets rid of her. Then we have Kisaragi Station, a story that many have long believed isn't just a story, but a true account from 2004, when users on a Japanese message board watched in real time as a woman named Hasumi posted frantic updates after waking alone on a train platform that didn't exist on any map. What began as a simple missed stop slowly became one of Japan's most disturbing and enduring paranormal internet legends. Next up, a woman is in need of an outpatient surgery that goes sideways. Did she watch her own death? And resuscitation? A man who drive the same route every day finds a detour one morning on his way to work. Did he perhaps slip into another time line? Lastly, a woman who is no stranger to the spaces we think of being spoopy, the morgue. Something very peculiar about her day at work.  Wet Hot Bad Magic Summer Camp 2026: Have you heard?!

In her third feature (Saccharine, in theaters now and on Shudder in July), Natalie Erika James tackles themes of obsession, disordered eating, and queerness. And while the two movies are VERY different (one a psychological horror, the other a quiet, BAFTA-winning drama), those are all themes Saccharine shares with My Summer of Love, Pawel Pawlikowski's 2004 film that introduced the world to Emily Blunt. Then, Jordan has one quick thing about Jane Schoenbrun's upcoming Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, which just premiered at Cannes.

Send us Fan MailThis one messed with our heads…

This week we did something a little different. For the first time ever we have a guest where we needed a translator and honestly... it was a blast!  We are thrilled to be joined by Japanese story teller Genki Kawamura who is the producer behind Your Name and Suzume, NYT bestselling novelist of If Cats Disappeared From the World , and director of A Hundred Flowers and his latest film Exit 8, the new adaptation of the viral indie horror game!   We talk about why liminal horror is having such a massive cultural moment, what it reflects about the world we're living in, and the art of adapting a game with almost no story into something that genuinely gets under your skin and heart. We also get some Japanese horror and film recommendations you're going to want to write down!  Exit 8 is in theaters now via Neon. Go see it. AND COME HANG OUT!!!

Writer and critic Robert Rubsam returns to the show to discuss Kiyoshi Kurosawa's enigmatic, unclassifiable thriller Charisma, the story of a failed hotage negotiator torn between factions of scientists, government agents, and madmen all fighting to decide the fate of a very unique tree in a mysterious, nameless forest. It's as strange as it sounds! We discuss Kiyoshi Kurosawa's vision of nature as a dialectical force where harmony and disorder coexist. Then we debate the film's titular tree, Chrisma. Is it malevolent, toxic, or a neutral force weaponized by humankind? Finally, we trace Kurosawa's lineage through filmmakers like David Cronenberg and the great journeyman Richard Fleischer, and how their influence, filtered through his austere style, produces a deeper sense of distance and unease.

Filmmaker Christophe Gans (Silent Hill, Brotherhood of the Wolf, Beauty and the Beast) joins Mostly Horror to talk about the power of video games as a storytelling medium, what makes Silent Hill one of the most haunting and enduring horror franchises of all time, and what it was like to return to that world nearly 20 years later with Return to Silent Hill. We explore why Silent Hill's brand of psychological, atmospheric horror continues to resonate, how trauma and guilt shape its monsters, what separates Silent Hill from more action forward horror adaptations, and what truly makes a great monster linger in the mind long after the credits roll.But before venturing into the fog, Sean and Steve break down the latest horror news, and after escaping from Silent Hill, they round things out with their Mostly Horror recommendations of the week. It's a haunting hangout you're not going to want to miss sooo...COME HANG OUT!!!

Creepypasta Scary Storyhttps://brett-schumacher-shop.fourthwall.com

This week, Emilio, Madeline and Julian make good on something that has been in works for over two years - a conversation about the movies they gifted each other back in 2023!  To be specific, these were discs from The Criterion Collection, acquired during Barnes and Nobles summer 50% Criterion sale.  Madeline gifted Emilio 'House', Nobuhiko Obayashi's wild inventive horror/comedy from 1977.  Julian gifted Madeline 'Being John Malkovich', Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman's breakout film from 1999.  Emilio gifted Julian 'Ikiru' from 1952, Akira Kurosawa's influential meditation on life and imminent mortality.  The group gets a chance to talk spolier free about these three films, what motivated their decision to give what they did, some details and themes that stick out to them about each film, and what kind of cinephile would be ideal recipient of these films.  They also take a moment to reflect on their year in podcasting, and gift each other a new Criterion disc to discover in 2026!  Happy holidays listeners, thanks for a great year!If you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.  This really helps us find new listeners and grow!Follow us on YouTube, IG and TikTok: @sleeplesscinematicpodSend us an email at sleeplesscinematicpod@gmail.comOn Letterboxd?

Welcome back to Geekz 31 Days of Horror! Tonight, we're unlocking the doors to one of Japan's most fascinating and underrated haunted-house horrors — Sweet Home (1989), directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa and produced by Juzo Itami. A documentary crew enters an abandoned mansion once owned by a reclusive artist, hoping to uncover lost paintings for their TV special. But when they disturb the restless spirit of the artist's wife, the crew faces grotesque hauntings, fiery deaths, and supernatural vengeance that will test both courage and sanity.

OG co-host Carlos Cooper is back for All Horror October, and this week we're diving into Japanese horror with two wildly different films. First, Tetsuo: The Iron Man throws us into a nightmarish, industrial spiral as a man begins transforming into a grotesque fusion of flesh and metal. Then, Cure (1997) takes a slower, chilling turn, following a detective unraveling a string of murders connected by a mysterious, untraceable figure. On the beer side, we stick with our tradition of enjoying one Oktoberfest each week during All Horror October, starting with Odell Brewing's Oktoberfest. We also visit Lazarus Brewing for the first time to enjoy their Black Pearl and their Rice Lager with Maqaw Peppercorns.

There's meta, and then there's a movie thats so self-referential it basically takes place inside a Russian nesting doll. It's the INCEPTION of the found footage genre!This week we're getting to the center of a very, very crunchy tootsie pop. Another remarkable low-budget success story, ONE CUT is the type of movie that makes you want to pick up a camera and go shoot something… or behead some zombies. Either way, it's inspiring stuff!!Next week we're returning to the (nightmare) world of screenlife with Aneesh Chaganty's SEARCHING.

Then we head to a no name college town for thee anonymous story of a college student who got a lot more than he bargained for while shopping for furniture on Facebook Marketplace.

This month we talk about the 1997 movie Cure. A Japanese Horror movie that talks about hypnotism, mental health, and what it means to make decisions.Honestly, I've typed this description out five separate times but stupid Spotify for Creators keeps clearing the fields. WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME, SPOTIFY???? Go to hell. (I'm fine. I'm cool. I'm good)Danae, our friend of the pod, friend in real life, Twilight Summer Prince, and Friday the 13th correspondent, picked this movie because we decided to let them watch a good movie with us. How'd they do? Thanks everyone for listening, wherever you listen from. It means the world to us and me personally. I know this isn't the biggest pod in the world but it's fun and I hope you're enjoying it. Love ya.

This first story of Dan's was mined from a Ghost Stories subreddit full of nothing but supposedly true paranormal encounters. The poster claims to have seen his fair share of all the gruesome horrors mankind has to offer during his time in the service but nothing he ever witnessed as a soldier ever terrified him quite as much as the inexplicable thing he saw in Okinawa.  Then we explore the lore that surrounds Edmonton, Canada's supposedly haunted Firkins House, where the ghost of a child, a haunted doll, and more have supposedly been encountered on numerous occasions. Lynze has a fun tale that feels like your brother called you to tell you about his insane day work. What do two men discover while installing a Radon system? Lastly, a fun tale of Bill, a tour bus driving who never wanted to give up his job. Scared To Death Merch:Celebrate 300 episodes of Scared to Death with the killer new '300 Rituals' collection.

Send us a textWoHos!We recorded this a few months back and then both had some life stuff come up, but we hope it is worth the wait!This film is a classic domestic melodrama that has inspired Bong Joon-ho, among others, and is one batshit crazy ride.From IMDb: A composer and his wife are thrown into turmoil when a housemaid becomes more than they bargained for. (Composer??? That's overstating it a little bit--Mac & me)This film has everything. It's a cautionary tale, a cinematographic masterpiece, high melodrama, and a film that includes the mention of more rats than the film THE DEPARTED. Oh, TW for rat death...and child death.Next time on the main pod: Mac talks the 1964 Japanese Horror classic, ONIBABA.Quinn has also agreed to meet with me to discuss LADY IN A CAGE and possibly, THE HERETIC, and we hope to get our friend Chrissy Champagne on to discuss HELLO MARY LOU: PROM NIGHT II before the end of the year.

It's spooky season and Dixon's worst nightmares have come to fruition: He was unable to podcast due to scheduling conflicts, so John and Ryan are taking over!
