However, much of Junji Ito remains a mystery, despite his popular cult following. He has two upcoming series based on his works, one of which is a compilation of his short stories called Junji Ito Maniac: Tales From The Japanese Macabre, and one of which is an adaption of his infamous series Uzumaki. Kouichi makes it out alive, but Satoshi isn't so lucky.Junji Ito is often hailed as the best author to ever grace the world of horror manga. Souichi gives the two boys free entry, only for them to discover that Souichi has a son who eats the guests that come through. In the first version with Kouichi, he decides to investigate rumors about the haunted house with his friend Satoshi. There are two versions of the story, told from the perspectives of two different characters: a young boy named Kouichi (who shares a name with Souichi's older brother) and Michina Hirose, who is Souichi's cousin. As every guest who enters the haunted house soon realizes, however, the place is less of a fun diversion and more of a true house of horrors. As a huge departure from the humorous pranks of the 11-year-old Souichi, the story depicts the character as the sadistic 27-year-old owner of a haunted house. RELATED: Drifting Classroom Creator Announces First New Work in Over Two DecadesĪs one of the few Souichi Tsujii stories to make it into the US, "The Mystery of the Haunted House" appears in the Junji Ito Collection volume Smashed and is perhaps the most horrifying story of the Souichi series. Forced to hold on to his head with both hands to keep it from falling off, Tomio goes back to Madoka, hoping she'll take him back in time to save him from certain death. After showing Tomio the severed heads of all of her previous male victims, he makes a run for his life, but not before the fortune teller casts a spell on him to begin the process of decapitation.
It turns out the fortune teller was never interested in Tomio and was only looking to add his head to her growing head collection. Deciding to dump Madoka for the fortune teller, things immediately go awry when the fortune teller decides to behead Tomio after having sex with him. Somewhat inspired Edvard Munch's painting "The Scream," the story follows a young man named Tomio who becomes entranced by a mysterious fortune teller he and his girlfriend Madoka met.
