Halloween: Old Skool Anime Style!
"Halloween is the perfect time of year to revisit the horror genre. Here in the west live-action horror tends to be the go-to genre of choice, but anime has a plethora of horror to explore. Be warned as from here, there is something for every fear." Over at Animation for Adults I list some of my …
