Prepare to be spooked! Join us this Halloween for a screening of seasons 1 and 2 of Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories.
Synopsis: Each week at dusk, a man in a yellow mask arrives at a nearby playground. Gather at his feet to listen and learn from the mysterious storyteller. He recounts tales of horror to his captive audience, each story darker and more sinister than the last. Drawing from traditional paper dramas, the stories weave myths, urban legends, and rumors from Japan’s long history of haunting tales.
