Stop for Twilight Headstones lnc.
All those for Twilight Cemetery this is your stop.
Would you like to hear a scary tale?
No...
Would you like to hear a scary tale?
It starts on a dark, lonely night,
just like tonight...
A solitary bus on a mountain road,
without a soul on board...
In the middle of the night...
the bus travels on its route
a girl is waiting...
at the bus stop.
The bus driver stops,
but no one gets on.
He closes the door,
perplexed,
and continues down the lonely road.
Suddenly...
a small high-pitched voice cries out,
"Let me off"!
He looks in the rear view mirror,
and there behind him...
a doll, like this,
is sitting there.
"Let me off"!
How about you?
Would you like to hear a scary tale?
(Japan Horror TV)
(DARK TALES OF JAPAN)
Have you heard of the turbo-hag?
Turbo-hag?
Not me.
I have...
Drivers see her in the dead of night.
You see an old lady
hobbling down the road...
And if you pass her by...
She comes after you?
Yeah! At lightening speed!
Is she on skates?
No, turbo jets!
She comes right up...
to your window,
And if you look at her, you die...
Yeah!
That's like the man-dog.
And the headless rider.
The man-dog is scarier.
You're a wimp.
Hey... what's that?
The turbo-hag?
No way!
We ARE driving in the dead of night.
Oh my God, what is that?!
It's coming after us!
Hurry! Get out of here!
(The Spiderwoman)
So that's the turbo-hag?
I don't no.
Maybe it was the man-dog.
But it had 8 legs, right?
So it can't be a dog.
But its face is human.
That's so creepy!
When did this happen?
I don't no.
It was this year, right?
Yeah this year.
Maybe last month?
So the driver smashed into...
the guard rail, and they all died.
So who did you hear this from?
What's this?
The report on that beast...
that crawls on the road
I know, but what's this ending?
Like most urban legends,
there is no hard evidence...
But you know there are no eye-witnesses.
Yeah, I know
But we're not a science journal, see?
Just say the Spiderwoman exists, OK?
If you say so.
And this title's too long... The Four Legged Creature
Can't you make it shorter?
Like Man-Dog,
or Turbo-Hag?
(I saw her too!)
(The Spiderwoman strikes again)
(Eye-witnesses all over Japan!)
I had to work late that night,
so I went home at midnight.
and I was walking alone...
in a quiet alley.
I distinctly felt I was being followed.
I fainted on the spot...
and awoke the next morning.
Was it the Spiderwoman?
Who knows...
Look at this response!
Sales are up 20%.
Here... more mail.
Let's run 8 pages this week.
Get to it!
What if she really exists...
I'd totally freak out...
Sure she exists...
These are all eye-witnesses.
I really don't like this...
Just read them!
From what I hear,
a long time ago...
there was a woman who hated spiders.
Spiders are actually useful creatures...
that eat other insects for us.
Then one night...
the curse of all the spiders she killed
turned her into a Spiderwoman.
The Spiderwoman is normal by day.
But at sundown...
She always runs off on all fours without paying.
The Spiderwoman wraps her victims in her sticky web
Her victims become spiders...
like her,
or are wrapped up...
and killed.
I heard she prefers...
people with big eyes.
Your eyes are REALLY big!
Cut it out... I'm really freaking out.
Relax,
You can protect yourself from the Spiderwoman.
To protect yourself from the Spiderwoman, you say
Spider wasp, Spider wasp...
The Spider wasp is a natural enemy,
that preys and feeds upon spiders.
Spider wasp
We can make use of this.
Hey,
why is this pile so big?
Easier to sort this way?
I'm sorting by address.
They're all from this one area.
You're right. This one too.
Don't you get it?
That's where the Spiderwoman must be.
You're right! That's freaky! What if it's true?
Go check it out tomorrow.
No, please... I really don't like this.
The Spiderwoman often appears
in Kamiya City around the bypass
at the Shimoota Tunnel.
My friend was attacked there too.
(Following the tracks of the Spiderwoman)
(Our reporter goes directly to the source!)
What's with the blanks?
Hasegawa's gone to cover the story but we can't reach him.
the number you dialed cannot be reached now...
What's he doing?
What are you doing? Go find him.
If you get back by tonight,
we can still meet the deadline!
Right.
We just told that guy yesterday.
Yeah, his name was Hasegawa.
So how often does this Spiderwoman show up?
I've only seen her once.
What's she like?
Her clothes are outdated...
her shoes are worn...
Her stockings are all torn...
She reads racing forms.
She eats and runs, right?
On all fours?
I think so...
You mean you haven't seen her?
She came in after our shift...
Who saw her then?
Someone on the late shift?
Or a customer, maybe?
That's what I thought.
She always orders mushroom pasta.
And brings her own hot sauce.
Hot sauce?
She really pours it on too.
She dumps half of it in.
even in her soup.
The soup turns totally red.
She always sits right there...
Oh, my God.
Is that her?
I need a receipt please.
Just a minute, ma'am.
See? She's paying...
(Spiderwoman, please leave us alone.)
Hi...
Is she for real?
Yes.
Was someone attacked here?
Yes.
Really?
Really.
Have you seen her?
No...
not exactly...
I thought so...
But...
my friend was really attacked.
So YOU wrote that letter.
The police didn't take us seriously.
Anyone home?
We can come back later.
Akemi?
It's OK. Come in.
OK, then.
Hi, Akemi.
How are you feeling?
Hi.
Here.
I brought you notes from this semester.
This is English, and this is Math.
Don't worry, Akemi. He's all right.
She's mad because no one believes her.
Akemi,
He's a reporter.
He'll listen to you.
So tell him... what happened.
Thanks.
I was coming home late...
from school,
I usually don't take that road,
But I was in a rush that day
so I rode my bike and...
I heard some strange footsteps.
So I looked behind me and...
There was this woman but she was still far away
so I didn't think anything...
But still, I sensed something strange.
Wait! Can you slow down?
Because she keeps a distance with me,
I felt even stranger...
Relax, Akemi... Slower.
OK, so...
You were coming home late,
right?
And then?
A woman was walking way behind me
and I didn't think anything of it.
But she never got any closer,
I felt strange and then...
she got down on all fours and...
approached really quickly.
She opened her mouth real wide...
she had 8 eyes and 8 legs and...
She wrapped me up in her web and I couldn't move a muscle
I was so scared so I wanted to scream
but my mouth was full of thread...
I couldn't even move,
so I fainted...
when I woke up, I was covered and was wrapped up like a mummy
and I was hanging from the ceiling
I was upside down and couldn't move so...
I struggled and struggled but...
I couldn't open my mouth because
I was covered in this thread and...
I was totally freaked out...
The area was deserted, really frightened...
What are you doing?
Oh. We were just visiting.
Who are you?
My name is Yamazaki...
from Mademoiselle magazine.
It's about your daughter.
What about her?
Was it last month?
About her accident last month.
What do you want to know?
I just came to give Akemi her notes.
Thank you.
Bye then.
She's still in a state of shock.
The doctor says
she shouldn't be around strangers.
Oh, sorry.
Please don't mind me,
I'm leaving soon.
I have to go.
Thank you, but I really have to go.
No slippers!
How rude of me.
Dont bother...
Here.
Thanks.
I see you buy our magazine...
So...
what do you think of Akemi's story?
About...
The Spiderwoman?
Yes. This story here.
This attacked her?
Yes.
I don't believe it.
Me neither...
She's really a problem...
I'm hardly ever home so,
I think she's quite lonely.
Her father?
He died... before she was born.
Sorry...
Did you draw this picture?
No, we have illustrators...
I really can't draw.
Sorry, I'm so ignor ant
