I LOVE HORROR, especially these with folklore touches and supernatural beings. I love Japanese horror movies and graphic, much more so than those of western, because of their originality and nightmare-invoking ability.
I've been reading several scanlated horror mangas from author Junji Ito, whose works had been translated into movies such as Uzumaki (Spiral), and Tomie series. Others will have a hard time trying to scare and impress me, but not this guy. His works are available here:

Before you go and start reading, heed my SUPER SERIOUS warning: this is not for you with weak stomachs or faint hearts, let alone you who always have nightmares. Also not for you with photographic memory or mental disturbances. THESE are MORE SCARY than "the Ring" , "the Grudge" and other "the-" something or other movies; MORE BLOODY and graphically disturbing than "Friday the 13th" (maybe still less than "Saw", but not by much).
This is a super-serious warning, since they left such strong impressions even for ME. So if you're ready to be immersed in his demented world even after my warning, go ahead and enjoy the reading.
