Fishbaiit’s note: (OMFG, I remember that as a kid, I watched and dubbed comic video that was called “The Groaning Drain” and I can’t tell you ENOUGH how much that story gave me nightmares; the voice acting, and the sound effects they added?! I was scared to even shower or go anywhere near the sink. Yet I ended up growing up loving the horror/thriller genre and Junji Ito’s art is just so bizarre and amazing!)
