A community to discuss Cosmic Horror in it's many forms; books, films, comics, art, TV, music, RPGs, video games etc.

"cosmic horror... is a subgenre of horror fiction and weird fiction that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock... themes of cosmic dread, forbidden and dangerous knowledge, madness, non-human influences on humanity, religion and superstition, fate and inevitability, and the risks associated with scientific discoveries... the sense that ordinary life is a thin shell over a reality that is so alien and abstract in comparison that merely contemplating it would damage the sanity of the ordinary person, insignificance and powerlessness at the cosmic scale..."

If only whatever awful spiral based mishap didn't happen to the rest of the miniseries...

Oh well.

Well, it was either this or Tomie, I guess.

Character is from Uzumaki by Junji Ito. She just does that

Was the 4th episode the last one or are there more? It felt like it ended but I can't tell for sure.

It was. Out of the four episodes there were some really creepy moments. But there were also some truly cursed animation decisions as well. It's a shame we didn't get the quality of the first episode throughout, but what's there is still plenty creepy.
