...the total damage this year reached over a million dollars.
That's all for the Monday night news.
At the time of the tone it is 2 am.
Dec. 17, Tuesday, it's past 2 am.
Next, the latest movies...
See you tomorrow.
At the hall, 10 am...
11 o'clock.
That's right. Okay.
You always forget.
Sorry.
Don't be late!
OK, see you!
Good night.
Invitation. "Attend."
Shoko...
Kazumi too.
What...
We're going down.
Um, well...
Are you getting on or not?
No, I'm not.
What?
It looks full.
You could speak clearer.
Tales of Terror
In the winter of my junior year, we went on a high school excursion.
We were in for at least 2 hours!
No, that can't be.
We stayed at an old Japanese hotel.
It was so much fun talking for hours.
We forgot it was past curfew.
Where do you want to buy souvenirs?
What shall I get?
Right, I wonder.
What's the matter?
Nothing.
Let's go.
Oh, no.
I forgot my lip cream.
Oh, come on.
I'll be back.
Hurry up.
I will.
Chiaki!
I'm going!
What?
No...
Somebody! Somebody!
Somebody!
Somebody, please...
Oh, no...
Don't come near me!
No!
Tales of Terror
This happened a few summers ago.
Kengo Nishioka?
Who are you?
My husbanïs colleague?
What do you want from me?
Where is Yo-chan?
Please go away.
Where is he?
Just go away.
Where is he?
He's probably out on site.
What do you want?
I came to take Yo-chan.
That night, I woke up feeling some strangeness in the air.
And somehow I could see the next room.
In there, an unknown man in working outfit was sitting.
I came to take Yo-chan.
Why my husband?
I'd better call my husband.
I quickly picked up the phone.
But...
No! I shouldn't call him now!
That thing is not human.
It would find out where my husband is.
I knew it intuitively.
So...
I'm not giving Yoshitaka to you.
What are you?
A colleague?
Do you have a grudge against him?
Did he kill you?
He wouldn't hurt anyone.
He never would.
What are you?
Get out! Get out!
Get out of this house!
I will take him for sure.
I will not let you do that!
Just get out of here!
Get out!
Then, I shall take you.
Stop it.
Stop it!
Stop!!
I cannot recall anything after that.
Kengo Nishioka was a worker who died at my husbanïs site.
But my husband was proven not responsible for his death.
Why he came is a mystery.
Tales of Terror
Visitors may come suddenly.
Whether you wish or not.
Only a thin door divides you and the outer world.
You never know who stands behind the door.
We promised, right?
I want to watch!
Cut it out!
No fun!
Mika!
Enough!
It's your sister's turn.
Who's there?
It's me. Aunt Machiko.
Are you really Aunt Machiko?
Yes.
But you sound different.
That isn't so.
There's someone strange at the door.
Hear that?
There's nobody there.
Mom.
Can you hear it?
Mika, I'm busy.
Who's there?
I told you.
It's Aunt Machiko.
Open the door!
What's keeping you?
Hurry up!
No!
Open the door!
Mika!
That's enough!
But...
But what?
Open up!
Sister! No!
What?
Sister?
Mom?
Tales of Terror
Is this where the 100 Tales are being told?
You must be the reporter.
Right this way...
Please be seated.
I've only come to cover your group...
You've come too far not to take part.
But these stories aren't my...
Well that's just our way here.
I'd heard there was a 100 Tales group at this small shrine.
They say strange things happen at the gathering.
Not that I believe it, but...
I needed something light for the summer issue.
Well then, shall we begin?
May I go first?
I died from heart disease.
I'd heard that when you die, you see dead family.
In my case, I saw my wife.
That's her, beside me.
My wife passed away three years before me...
It's pretty odd.
Talk about your own death.
It's just odd, not scary.
I died from stomach cancer.
Though still in my 40's the cancer spread quickly.
The suffering was awful.
But I tell you, the River Styx is real...
What a disappointment.
Just close my eyes I'll go right to sleep.
One night about six months ago...
...me and my boyfriend were riding motorbikes along a mountain road.
Riding ahead he suddenly went like this - quickly ducking forward.
"What's he doing?" I thought.
Then I saw something like a stick coming at me.
It was a road sign.
It wasn't upright, but bent - like so.
I couldn't see the plank part of the sign, though.
Before I knew it my head was...
...cut clean away from my body.
Off it popped...
...and hit the ground with a fleshy smack.
My boyfrienïs pale blue face as he came up to me...
...was the last thing I saw before closing my eyes.
I'd been bullied by classmates.
So I hanged myself in the school bathroom.
Just before that, my head had been stuck in the toilet tank...
...so there's a rumour at school that even now...
...that toilet tank is filled with my hair.
I was a surfer...
Officially, I drowned...
...but the truth was...
It was something in the water that had grabbed my ankle.
When I looked down, I saw dozens of limbs reaching up from below.
Countless numbers of kids had drowned there before...
...and they took hold of my legs...
Well, we've come around to your turn now.
But, I'm not...
It is your turn.
That's our way here.
I...
I'm alive!
This is no place for the living.
Why are you here then?
Tell us your story.
Come now.
How did you die?
I...
I died from...
Tales of Terror
It's been a while since I've seen this.
Good old days...
We don't have to put this on tape!
It's just for checking.
Never mind.
You need more practice!
Let's play.
Wait a second!
We're wasting the studio fee!
That's right!
You were late today!
You were too, the other day!
Enough! Both of you.
You could have come and picked me up...
What the hell?
Wish I had a digital disc.
Shishido speaking.
It's me, Kuriyama.
Kuri!
Long time, buddy!
I was just listening to our old tape.
Oh, really?
We sure did suck!
Deborah's sister called, she's dead.
What?
Deborah died?
Yeah.
How?
Suicide.
Suicide?
She hanged herself.
Hanged herself?
Tonight's her awake, the service is tomorrow.
So, I'll see you tomorrow, okay?
Guitar didn't sound right.
Let's take a break.
Maybe Deborah's being late affected the sound.
Sid, you bastard!
Sid!
Sid!!
Do something about it.
Help me.
I'm still here...
I love you.
So much.
Let's stay together forever...
Tales of Terror
When I was little, I liked to play with my father's shoes.
But I hardly remember that.
I even hardly remember what having a father was like.
How was school today?
My mother began to work after my father died.
She usually comes home late.
But she came home early that day.
What are you going to buy?
How's Aya's cold? Was she at school today?
Mom!
What?
What are you going to buy?
Next week is your father's death anniversary.
We were going to visit his grave but I have work.
So I thought we could go tomorrow. You have plans?
No.
But how about Grandpa?
I'll call them later.
I was going to buy a melon. Your father loved them.
Let's go.
There they are!
I didn't know melons are this expensive.
It's all right, it's just once a year.
This is his favorite.
Can I hold it?
What?
Please! Let me.
Sure.
Don't drop it though.
Smells good.
Mom, it smells good.
Now, be careful.
Do you think Grandpa can make it tomorrow?
I don't know.
If he can't make it tomorrow then, next week.
But...
We can't match to his schedule.
Smells good.
Mom!
Mom, just now...
Just now...
Yes, just now...
Your father walked by.
He was smiling.
He was happy.
Mom...
I was just playing strong.
I was so busy thinking I have to raise you alone.
Trying to take both roles as father and mother.
I never thought your father was looking over us.
I'm sorry, my dear.
I was being too harsh.
Mom...
I'll fix my schedule for next week.
Let's go home and eat this melon.
I feel my father being close to me since then.
I wish I could see my father smiling too.
Tales of Terror
It's more of a strange story than a scary one.
I'm home!
I've come home!
This is my father.
He's somewhat neglected from the family lately.
He worries that I have been ignoring him.
I'm home!
I've come home!
He purposely comes home drunk and tries to communicate better.
Yuka! I'm home!
That's a good one!
His obvious scheme disgusted me.
And it made me ignore him more.
I took a detour to avoid entering the house with him.
One day...
I'm home!
I've come home!
What are you doing?
Well, I've no idea!
At this point, I was only being bored of his usual behavior.
I'm home!
I was drunk the other night.
I'm sober tonight.
I was walking down that street behind the school...
That must be "Backward Suit."
You know, "Backward Suit."
You know the story of the "Backward Suit," don't you?
I'm bored.
What?
I'm getting sick of you.
Don't talk to me.
Since that night, my father rarely came home drunk.
One night, a while later I took the road behind the school.
I'm home.
Tales of Terror
What a mess.
What is this?
The place scares me.
Let's go in.
Stop it!
Don't touch me.
You brought me here for this?
You jerk!
What are you talking about?
You're the jerk!
You haven't allowed me to do anything since summer.
Hey...
Come on! Let me...
What's wrong?
Hey!
Where is she?
Just come out, let's go home.
Yes.
About a week ago.
No.
What is it?
Yes.
Who's she talking to?
3 people.
Hey!
Maybe 4...
Yes.
No, I don't think so.
Yes.
No, I haven't done that yet.
Yes.
Yes, I understand.
Hey, hey!
What are you doing?
Let go.
The doctor will examine me.
Don't bother me.
That's enough!
Hey!
What's the matter?
Hello?
What were you doing?
It was tough getting you back home last week.
You kept your phone off and you weren't even home.
Well, next time...
Let's have some kinky fun.
What are you talking about?
Don't tell me...
Are you at that hospital again?
To be continued...
Tales of Terror
It's freezing.
Hey!
Are you there?
EXAMINATION ROOM #3
No.
No!
No! It's not me!
I'm not who you're looking for, doctor!
No, don't take me into this!
I'm not the one you want!
EXAMINATION ROOM #3
Hey!
Wait a minute!
I thought so.
It's you.
Are you doing okay?
Yes.
You dress differently now.
Well, I work now.
You haven't changed at all.
I probably won't change.
Maybe, forever.
Bye. I've got to go.
Hey!
How have you been doing lately?
I still go...
...to the hospital.
Tales of Terror
I moved to a new place.
The reason isn't new.
Broke up with my boyfriend.
He had been unfaithful to me.
I had changed my address and phone number.
I feel like a new person and it's a bit strange.
Hello?
Give it back.
I felt a little uneasy but I thought it was a mistaken call.
The next day, a friend took me out to dinner.
I came home a little drunk.
It was at 1:00.
Hello?
Give it back.
Who is this?
I had just moved.
Only my parents and three close friends know my new phone number.
It gave me a creepy feeling.
Since then, I got the same phone call every night.
Eventually, I decided to change my phone number.
That night...
It's you, Michi!
Sorry.
Hold on. I've got another call.
Give it back.
What is this?
What's happening?
The next day, I came up with a wonderful idea.
I disconnected the phone.
This isn't a coincidence nor a prank.
Someone had forgotten something in this room.
A forgotten item I must give back.
Nothing.
I couldn't find anything.
When I was about to give up.
This is it!
I have to give this back somehow.
It's gone.
It was that ring.
Good.
After that, the calls...
Tales of Terror
Are we too early?
That's all right.
My sister would be upset if we are late.
That's true.
Can you go pick up Mom?
All right.
Housewarming Party at Room 402 Girls Only
Miwa
It's you!
You're early.
Wanna come in?
Sis?
What?
Is somebody here?
You are.
No, I mean somebody besides me.
What are you talking about?
Just come on in.
But...
You know.
This place is strange.
Really?
You know, it's been a week since I moved in.
I've been getting so many job offers, it's amazing!
Are you being envious?
That's not what I meant.
Just sit over there and watch TV.
You fool.
Let's see...
What's in the video?
My new film.
You can watch it.
I already am.
It's over!
Rewind it!
A bummer.
My god...
I'm going home!
What's the matter?
Well...
Tales of Terror
That'll do fine.
I left right on time for my 1:00 job interview.
It looks like rain.
Good afternoon!
I'm Asai, here for the interview.
Excuse me.
Hello?
Are you an interviewee?
Yes, I'm Asai for the part time job.
I thought I was on time but it's already 3:00.
I must have gotten mixed up somehow.
I'm sorry for being late.
I've always wanted to try this job.
Can I just leave my resume here?
I did my best writing it.
Please.
I'm being enveloped by something.
Enveloped by something...
Enveloped by...
...something.
THE END
Tales of Terror
I'm home.
It's Shoko. Happy wedding!
Did you get my reply?
You went after the handsome guy after all.
Fumihiko is good looking.
I'll call you again.
This is Kazumi Takahashi.
Thanks for the invitation.
I wonder who you'll marry.
I can't wait to see.
RIKA'S TREASURE BOX
READ THIS WHEN YOU GROW UP.
October 5th, I fell during sports day practice.
I was ashamed because Takashi was watching.
It still hurts.
I hope it heals soon.
November 15th, I love the school lunch.
I wish I could ask for seconds just like the boys do.
Takashi asks for seconds.
I hope he won't get fat.
December 7th, Yoshimi is going out with Hiroshi, I guess.
Yuki is going out with Nobuyuki.
Who would want to date a mean guy like Nobuyuki?
Does the grown up Rika have a boyfriend?
December 14th, I hate all the boys in my class.
They all fool around too much. I think that's stupid.
They're interested in kissing and stuff.
Will I kiss when I grow up?
December 17th, One week until Christmas.
Hello?
Rika, it's me.
Fumihiko?
Sorry, were you asleep?
No, I was up.
Were you being kinky or what?
No! I was packing my things.
By the way, I got the tickets for Tokyo Disney Sea.
Really?
Yeah.
Hold on a second.
Don't make other plans.
Okay.
You have to thank me.
Thanks!
I'll talk to you tomorrow.
See you at 11:00 at the hall.
I won't be late.
Good night.
Wedding arrangement, 17th Disney Sea, 24th

Will I spend Christmas Eve with my boyfriend when I grow up?
I hope he's good looking.
But...

There was no Fumihiko around me at that time.
Tales of Terror
Next Friday...
Let me think.
I'll check my schedule book.
I said wait.
Let's see.
Yes, I can make it.
Yeah, okay.
Let's go eat something nice.
Hold on.
I'm fine.
It's nothing.
Shoko, why don't we spend the night together?
Okay.
That's Friday at 8:00.
In Shibuya.
Okay.
See you. Bye.
This is Hayashida.
Rika? It's after 11:00...
I can't answer the phone right now. Rika? It's after 11:00...
Please leave a message...
What are you doing?
Over here.
Come over here.
Over here.
I said come over here.
