I think many of you have heard of this Korean webtoon writer, Horang, who wrote short horror stories. I had a hard time trying to finish The Ghost of Bongcheon-dong (still couldn’t read it til the end (；ﾟДﾟ)
Here’s the link to the webtoon:

Ahh yes. Quite an infamous webtoon and I still remember pissing myself when the animations kicked in hahah. Thank you for linking it here!
Some horror webtoons I currently read:
https://www.webtoons.com/en/thriller/the-predator/list?title_no=3454&page=1 <The Predator> (cults and alien-like creatures)
https://www.webtoons.com/en/mystery/chasing-tails/list?title_no=3440&page=1 <Chasing Tails> (this one is like a whodunnit but has aspects of horror and creeps me out when I read it at 3am)
https://www.webtoons.com/en/horror/tales-of-the-unusual/list?title_no=68&page=1 <Tales of the Unusual> (getting a K-drama soon and has a bunch of short stories to cozy up to or read on the go)

Welcome! I can't wait to dive into that movie, Japanese films be like that sometimes.
Thank you!
How's everyone? Yesterday I watched Exte that I found recently. Not the jumpscare kind of scary but still disturbing and ridiculous. It's a unique concept - cursed hair that kills people and make people kill. Coming from the director, it wasn't very bloody, although there was violence/abusive mother again which was too bad for the young daughter as she appeared traumatic. And maybe it's old or the black hair concept, but the atmosphere here was greyish or somewhat overcast. I rated it 7/10.

Currently started The Guest (2018). Been wanting to watch this for so long and I finally had to see Kim Dong Wook and Kim Jae Wook's chemistry. Episode 1 was really good, I don't find it too scary so far in terms of the supernatural aspects but it can get quite bloody. This is pretty much the first supernatural korean drama I have watched and it has such an interesting story with great cinematography as expected from OCN.
Hi, I was a huge horror fan as a kid and have moved away from the classic horror stories to more of supernatural thrillers over the years but I do end up watching more of western horror than Asian. I saw House, Kwaidan, A tale of two sisters and more way back. Recently watched The Guest (it's a supernatural thriller but a very interesting show!) and read the webtoon for Sweet Home. I am currently rewatching Botan Doro for an article and will be watching The Medium soon.
And thank you @awkward potato for sharing the link for Horang's horror stories. Just started it and it's quite the thrill!
Also, I would love to join the club so I can get some great suggestions to watch ever so often when the mood strikes! :)
Fourthaxis:
Something else that struck me is to divide the occult genre into sub-genres such as body horror, psychological horror, folk horror, etc unless there's another horror club that I'm unaware of.
I just see so much thriller type horror, I wanted a club that talked about supernatural and sci-fi horror which is why I made the club but you're welcome to talk about any horror genre here in general! Slasher, supernatural, sci-fi, paranormal,etc etc. There is an Thriller/Horror club but it's inactive now I think. Thanks for your introduction, let us know what you think of "The Medium" because I was also thinking of watching it! Welcome to the club :)
