Satoshi Kon’s psycho-thriller isn’t about one particular urban legend. Like his other films, it's more meta than that. The show starts with stressed character designer Tsukiko Sagi gets attacked by a teenage boy with a baseball bat. She becomes the first victim of Li’l Slugger, as he goes on to assault more people in and around Musashino in Tokyo. ...

Their dub would turn paranormal enthusiast Leo into a Jewish stereotype, and the antagonist entity Amanojaku into a 4th wal...

Like ‘Bloody Mary’, she can be summoned by knocking on the 3rd stall of a public toilet and asking if Hanako is there. If they get a response, the summoner will see a bloody hand that’ll drag them inside the stall to a fate wor...
Finally, the biggest entry on the list. GeGeGe No Kitaro actually started off as a kamishibai story called Kitaro of the Graveyard, which was about a deformed boy who lived in the local cemetery. This was also inspired by 'The Candy Buying Ghost', a tale about a man who finds a baby in a graveyard after its mother's ghost visits him asking for swee...
