The Grudge/Nightmare Fuel

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Shower Scene + Body Horror = ARGH.
  • Yoko's face. *shudder*
  • Susan's vignette. Not even the bedcovers can protect you from this curse...
  • Kayako crawling down the stairs. Made ten times creepier by the Director's Cut.
  • Poor Allison, locked in the cupboard while Kayako/Aubrey sloooowly comes for her. Allison's terrified, sobbing screams make the whole thing so much worse.
  • Opinions greatly differ on this, but: the scene where the ghost of the Principal appears to Allison.
  • Kayako emerging from one of Grethen's paintings, and, prior to that, the horribly unsettling damage she does to the painting of Rose.
  • The state of Gretchen's corpse.
  • Naoko's unsettling walk and horrible gurgling sounds after she too becomes a Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl... not to mention her (presumed) prime method of killing.
    • Not to mention Naoko's (horribly brutal) death in the first place. To elaborate: she has her knee broken and a serrated knife forced through her throat. Yikes.
  • The Dark Room scene. That is all.
  • Yoko in the attic. She switches on her lighter and pokes her head into the attic, slowly looking about her all the while hearing what are seemingly odd creaking noises (of course, as those who are familiar with the original Ju-on films will know, those noises are certainly not caused by anything creaking). As she turns, a pale face can suddenly just be made out behind her... and then her lighter highlights this mysterious face. BAM.
