Do you believe in curses? Best beware, as this week we're learning about the three progenitors of modern J-horror: Oiwa, Okiku and Otsuyu. Were these ghostly ladies in the right? Yes, absolutely.  What was happening in Edo Japan that summoned all these spooky stories? What does hair, blood, and water have to do with monstrous women? And was Slimer a person before he died?
