| First post. Just trying to get things started. What's your favorite, who is it by, and why? |
| For me, it's Junji Ito's "Uzumaki". It hit the right spot in right time, leaving me with severe likeness towards his other works, that I generally love to this point with only one exception - Tomie 1&2. How about You people? ;3 |
| Ito's Uzumaki. Hands down. The fact that it's a manga that feels like a Lovecraft story all it's own is original enough, but it also shows it's own great style that nothing else has done before. I really got 'sucked into' this story. GET IT?  lol, movie Shuichi is my favorite character. I don't really know why, but he is. |

| I must say... he rings the bell. Also - movie = wut. It was unfullfilling and badly finished. Though several chapters were very close to the manga original and didn't fall off from Junji's view of reality. Btw, any info on upcoming Junji's screenplays? Apart from crappy tv-drama adaptations, there was supposively some plan for one of his "horror world of JI" stories, though press was silent about wich one. |
| MPD Psycho ofc and Berserk, why isnt this club related to Berserk? |
| I liked MiikeTakashi's version of MPD Psycho even better then the original manga. ;3 As for Berserk - personally, I can't see why it would be anything related at all to horror/thriller/psycho-killers/omg_aliens_with_fangs genere. It's still fantasy with lots of gore, but not horror-like at all in my opinion. Though please elaborate, since I might have missed the point totally (I have only read 2 volumes of manga and watched-then-dropped terrible anime version). ^^" |
| there are omg_aliens_with_fangs :P |
| Aliens in berserk? I remember demons and chaosspawn, but no aliens. :P |
| I really liked Goth. i wish there was more!!! |
| i think the best horror manga is Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. it's weird, scary, unique and the story is really good. |
 |
| It's hard to choose between Higurashi and Jisatsu Circle, but I think it's the last one. JC has a very deep and shocking story, and I really liked the ending. |
  |
| How did You liked the movie adaptation then? I found it largely missing the point that manga had, beside flashy "artsy" scenes in redroom and great camera work. :) As for movie adaptations, does anyone know what h-manga's got adopted for movie script? I would love too widen my knowledge about that particular issue. From what I know: - Jisatsu Circle -> "Suicide Circle" [2002] (http://www.mandiapple.com/snowblood/suicidecircle.htm) - Lovesick Dead -> "Shibito no koiwazurai" [2001] (http://www.mandiapple.com/snowblood/lovesickdead.htm) - Uzumaki -> "Uzumaki" [2000] (http://www.mandiapple.com/snowblood/uzumaki.htm) - Long Dream -> "Nagai yume" [2000] (http://www.mandiapple.com/snowblood/longdream.htm) - Eko Eko Azarak -> "Wizard of Darkness" (aka. "Eko Eko Azaraku") [1995] (http://www.mandiapple.com/snowblood/eko1.htm) - Tomie (1->3) -> "Tomie: ??????" (multiple crappy movies circling around same script) - Rasen -> "Rasen" (aka. The Spiral) [1998] (http://www.mandiapple.com/snowblood/rasen.htm) Share ploz, if anyone has any info on other titles. :3 |

But I think I'll do it sometime, because I'm a little interested as well, and I want to create my own option :) |
|
| Parasyte by Hitoshi Iwaaki is my favorite. I haven't read the Higurashi manga yet but it's one of my favorite animes :) |
| So far, Mail is the only thing I've read that's remotely scary. |
| No doubt,"Uzumaki" by Junji Ito.The whole manga was so strange and amazing that at one point I was just staring and thinking "WTF?!THIS IS LIKE WOW...".All of Junji Ito's mangas are great,I liked "Gyo" and "Flesh coloured Horror" very much too. |
| To be continued... |
| Uzumaki The Enigma of Amigara Fault (it's short but really great) Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Onikakushi-hen |
| Uzumaki here too, it's a very creepy one. I thought some parts of the last volume seemed a little forced and not as scary, but otherwise, awesome. Also, some other Junji Ito short one where the people all heard holes shaped like them in a mountain call out to them and they all went inside the holes and came out twisted, that was creepier than Uzumaki if you ask me. Forgot the name, grr! |
| Uzumaki is easily my favorite. Just the right mixture of off the wall gonzo ideas, weird Lovecraftian concepts, and stomach turning moments. Great, great stuff. |
| 1. Flesh Colored Horror (Itou Junji) 2. Fuan no Tane 3. The Ring |
| 1.Uzumaki 2.All works of Shintaro Kago |
| Kiseijuu, Berserk...and all of Go Nagai^^ |
 |
| my favs are octopus girl reiko zombie shop museum of terror tomie dark water school zone ogre slayer twlight of the dark master blood the last vampire |
| I haven't read many but my favorite would have to be Gantz. |
| Uzumaki or Higurashi :| not sure which is my favorite... |
 |
| Usumaki, Gyo and Yami no koe by Ito Others- Parasyte, Berserk, Gantz, Doubt, Jisatsu Circle ,etc |
| Haven't read much of those yet, but I prefer Doubt and the all popular Uzumaki/Spiral. ^^ The Ring 1 wasn't bad either, though it took me some short time to get used to the art. |
 |
| hmm, that would have to be petshop of horrors. |
 |
| Uzumaki so far planning to read more horror |
| "Where will a newborn go from here? The net is vast and infinite" - Motoko Kusanagi |
| warau kyuuketsuki by maruo suehiro - discovered this fairly recently - by far the most nuanced, atmospheric, and creepy vampire manga ever! - not only that, beautiful artwork... |
 |
| Fav manga- Uzumaki. That was really interesting and freaky thats why i loved it ^^ Fav anime- Elfen lied. I really loved the story and um.. blood xD |
| ~I like turtles~ |
| Shintaro Kago's series where that princess makes hell on earth and tortures people. It was so funny if I remember correct, Kago can make some good dark comedy. :D |
Heigen said: check out his Sparkle! Greater East-Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere - very funny sick stuff...Shintaro Kago's series where that princess makes hell on earth and tortures people. It was so funny if I remember correct, Kago can make some good dark comedy. :D |

| If I'd finished reading Higurashi, that's probably what I'd say (since the anime is one of my favourites). If I could pick just one of Junji Ito's manga, that's probably what I'd say, but they're all too good. So Ibitsu! It has everything a horror manga should. I loved every second of it! |
| Thanks for mentioning Ibitsu - to my surprise, I haven't seen that one yet and I've read it through yesterday. It was good - not the exact kind of horror I would normally chouse, but it hit my spot for psycho killer genere. :) |
| Mine would be Corpse party and Ibitsu.Although my the most favourite manga is Berserk, I don´t really feel it is much of a horror (especially the new chapters).:) |

Ah, Ibitsu, that manga scared the shit out of me. I've never felt anything like that while reading before. It's creepy and truly gruesome, I love it. I actually haven't read many horrormanga but I'll definitely read Junjis Ito's manga as soon as I have time. Another manga I like is goth. It's weird but still fascinating. |
| Everything by Junji Ito. My first manga by him was Tomie. I also like Zekkyou Gakkyuu and Collapse of the world as we know it manhua. |
| Nobody mentioned Kazuo Umezu, the man who inspired Junji Ito ?! Anyways my favs include Uzumaki Drifting Classroom ( Umezu ) Doumu ( Otomo ) |
| Surprised no one's mentioned Battle Royale and Gantz in here. They're a couple of my favs (Litchi Hikari Club is an honorable mention too). I think Battle Royale is my fav cause it's got Shonen-y moments with martial arts and stuff along with the gratuitous body dismemberment and brains being blown out. It's like the RE4 of horror manga lol |
 |
| I don't know what particularly qualifies as horror, but Ode to Kirihito is pretty good. I also like Homunculus, but again I don't know if that qualifies. Dorohedoro also! |
