Junji Ito Maniac: Japanese Tales of the Macabre
#8
The first vignette was messed up. A mother and her two daughters are in a car accident. One daughter gets part of her face ripped off. The hospital discovers she’s made up of layers like rings on a tree. It seems to be connected to a baby skull that the dead father excavated under a layered burial mound - a curse. The mom wants her baby girl back and starts peeling off layers to get at her. It goes badly. This one is super creepy and horrifying.

The second story is about a whale monster that washes up on some Japanese beach. Inside the whale, parasites are found, more specifically humans that had disappeared in shipwrecks and the like. The belly of the monster is filled with naked captives. That’s it really. Another that leaves us hanging. 

Both stories have existential conclusions. 

I had to watch some other vids to clear some of this out of my mind before going to bed.
