I wouldnt exactly consider it "horror" so much as I would consider it action.

Some people would place it in the horror genre because it has constant splatter and gore.

Basicly all that happens, is they fight hords and hords of vampire nazi's.

Its not somthing you should watche/read if your looking for the next deep, thought provoking, phsychological thriller, but if you want to turn your brain off and subject yourself to thoughless, mind numbing, entertainment, then its a great sereise.

I personally enjoy that kind of entertainment, but it might not be somthing you would like MMM

I am reading the new manga Presents now...It's about a little girl who never received birthday presents, so she never aged. Now she gives people presents, but be careful what you wish for!

Oh, Is that good? I think I heard about that being released.

I just bought Flesh Colored Horror (volume 3 of the comicsone editions of the Junji Ito Horror Comic collection) I havent read it yet, but I'll tell you what I think when I'm done.

Yes, I like it so far. It's all short stories. Cartoonish gore (melting fingers and faces, that sort of stuff)

I'd like to get the Ito Horror, but it's pretty spendy when you can find it.

I actually found the first 2 volumes at a used bookstore for $4 each.
Which didnt really help me much, because I already own the Mueseum of Terror editions of Tomie.

I have been wanting to read Flesh colored horror for a long time, so I finnaly just orderd it on amazon for $40.00 which is pretty pricey for a manga, but considering that its usualy up to around $70.00, it was a pretty good deal.

Exactly. I haven't seen it for much less than that.
