Also, the 2011 Hetalia Bloodbath will end exactly like Rare Exports! I'm betting one shiny penny on it!

All the films that are inside this collection were produced in Italy. Not sure if this collection is actually available outside Japan though.

Here are the films in the Macaroni Horror collection:

If you think you recognize any of the other films in this strip or I might be mistaken on one of my references, just leave a drop in the comments! I think Himaruya might have made some up though.

and they are usually enemies in their own movies too.... One russian guy commented that he befriended with an american guy at the end of cold war, he wanted to see american movies as they had been banned in Soviet union. He was shocked to see american movies had russians as villains. He had no idea it was so popular, as cold war-era russian movies had almost always germans as bad guys. Russians of course tend to see themselves in heroic light nevermind the politics so to them it feels absurd.

To see another finnish horror see Sauna. Very scary and I usually roll my eyes on our movies.

Spanish horror!!! Ever since baroque-era art and artists such as Goya, exciting and gory (to some horrifying) bullruns and bullfights, spanish have known how horror is supposed to be done.

american horror is not always cookiecutter-stuff, they have The Ring, Jaws, Sleepy hollow, Fly (both versions), Insidious and Carnival of souls and Haunting (original one). Of course they have Edgar Allan Poe and Lovecraft and Stephen King.....

German horror used to be better....Nosferatu, Vampyr and Caligari for example. Not to mention Grimm brothers collected their folk stories as a fairytale-compilation (the original versions would be too much for modern parents) They really should go back to that style!

Interesting that there is no mention of Korean horror which is said to be even superior to japanese ones now. Also have seen good movies from Thailand and Hong Kong!

English have their Hammer-horror style that seems to be making a comeback with Others (american co.) and superb Woman in black (BOTH versions). They have good history with horror from folktales to Gothic horror of 18th and early 19th century to 19th century Dracula and Turn of the screw. Interestingly, early gothic horror was always settled on "exotic" locations such as Germany and Italy where a lovely english rose was haunded by evil guardian....
