Directed by Kôji Shiraishi
The Curse (ノロイ) is a “found footage” J horror film shot as a documentary about a paranormal investigative journalist named Masafumi Kobayashi (Jin Muraki). We follow Kobayashi through number of seemingly unrelated paranormal cases that son add up to the film’s over-arching mystery of the investigator’s disappearance.

#POCtober: “I Put a Spell On You”

One of Halloween’s Rare Seasonal Songs

Though, unlike a Christmas carol, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’ signature song is at home any time of year, “I Put a Spell on You” is a fitting fixture during this season of magic, mystery and things going bump in the night. Covered by many (both George Clinton and Queen Latifah have given it a fling), it is decidedly Hawkins’ original frantic recording that made the song a standard. His over-the-top, theatrical “witch doctor” stage performances of it hail from a different era – but even in its day the record itself seemed anachronistic, like something hailing from the time of “race records” or Jazz back when it was “Jass.”
