Oh shit you wernt even talking to me! Omg I need to read harder and stop staying up so damn late.

I know! I found that really interesting. It seems like Asians dont spend alot of money on fancy effects so I wonder how he felt doing a movie that used so many? And if it will effect his movie making in the future?

I LUV Maribito. I mean like really luved lol I refused to return it to blockbuster and my husband had to sneak it back when I was sleeping :rolleyes:

.drools. She was fucking ADORABLE. Why cant I meet a chick like that? haha

juon the grudge 2 i found this free on the net but there is no subtites to it.

i have also found one miss call but they chopped into 2 parts

I am still a bit confused about which Ju-On films were TV vs. theatrical presentations. Am I correct that Ju-On: The Grudge and Ju-On: The Grudge 2 were the theatrical versions?

The history of the Juon franchise not counting the American re-makes is as follows:
1998:"Katasami" "4444444444" 2 short films that were part of the TV anthology special "Gakko No Kaiden G" (meaning "School Ghost Stories" with "G" standing for Great).
2000: Juon: The Curse 1
2000: Juon: The Curse 2
2002: Juon: The Grudge 1
2003: Juon: The Grudge 2
2009 Spin-Off Film: Juon: White Ghost and Juon: Black Ghost
Later Entries: To silly for me to follow but others might like


Overall, it's crazy to think that the only place to find the prequel shorts in North America is on the Director's Cut of the American re-make simply


In North America, these can only be found on the directors cut of the 2004 American remake simply called "The Grudge" as extras. "The Curse" movies haven't appeared in North America at all but debuted on Shudder in the last year or so.

Just to add to my above post, I looked into the "Gakko No Kaiden G" anthology that "Katasami" and the "4444444444" shorts are supposedly derived from.

An entry on "School Ghost Stories" ("Gakko No Kaiden" or in Japanese found following characters:
学校の怪談 ) can be translated to English here: https://ja-m-wikipedia-org.translate..._tr_pto=nui,sc

TV History from this link summed up as:
1) Jan. 14th 1994 to March 25th 1994 an 11 episode Serial entitled "School Ghost Story" was broadcast on Konsai TV in Japan that I can find very little information about. Supposedly, on August 19th 1994 there was a VHS tape with the 1st 10 episodes on it but the 11th was never put on film for 1 reason or another.
This 11 episode series focusing on horror was the final work Kansai TV production "Hankyu Drama Series ".

2)July 1996 a spinoff anthology movie called "School ghost story R".

3) July 1997 a spinoff anthology movie called "School ghost story F"

4) July 1998 a spinoff anthology movie called "School ghost story G". This is where the "Katasami" and "4444444444" shorts debuted.

5)March 1999 School Ghost Story Spring Haunting Special (School Ghost Story Haru No Tatari Special)

6) March 2000 School ghost story Haru no Noroi Special

7) March 2001 School ghost story Spring Mononoke Special

8) August 2020 Monster Share House Special

*Mobile, Gaming, and Anime were derived from these TV specials as well as described at link above

Since there's no IMDB entry for the 1994 serial or 1996 Spinoff Special here are the VHS jacket covers... I think the 1994 series 10 episodes appears in 3 VHS tapes pictured below covering about 10 episodes with the 11th left off for mysterious reasons never seeing print.

The VHS jacket for the spinoff from the TV series "Gakko No Kaiden R" I have pictured as well. There's an IMDB entry of "Gakko No Kaiden F" but pictured that too for completion sake.
