Horror movies? Psh. Child’s play! Now manga? That’s where the sophisticated scares are to be found. Any schlock jockey can thrill with a jumpscare, but it takes a true artiste to inspire terror with a still image. These manga artists manage to pack more panic one panel than many film directors can drum up in their entire cinematic careers! If you’re looking for true terror, these are 10 manga that are scarier than any horror movie. Honestly, they should just film over the shoulder of someone turning the pages of this nightmare fuel. I’m no studio exec, but I think that might be the makings of the next summer horror blockbuster.
Uzumaki
(VIZ Media)Arguably the most significant horror manga artist to hit the contemporary market, Junji Ito has carved out a name for himself as the Stephen King of the genre. While his stories of robot-legged fish and cannibalistic planets are nothing short of glorious, his magnum opus is Uzumaki – a horror novel that revolves around a revolving shape. The town of Kurouzu-cho is being haunted not by ghosts or demons, but by geometry! Math-haters will be horrified to learn that this little village has been cursed by spirals, a seemingly innocuous pattern that soon becomes sinister. Why is it scarier than any horror movie? Because this novel simply can’t be adapted into a film. Spirals turn people into snails, create black holes in the eyes of young women, and generate whirlwinds with human faces. Could you imagine the terrible CGI of a Hollywood adaptation trying to tackle the source material? The sublime and surreal horror would quickly devolve into silliness. Like the spiral shape itself, some stories can only be drawn.
