First off, I'm just going to say that Uzumaki is one of the most creative things I've ever read. Written by Junji Ito, it is the horror story of the town called Kurôzu. The central theme is the spiral, and it is this spiral that drives people insane, afraid and a host of other emotions. The spiral haunts the town, eventually leading to widespread chaos throughout the area.
The main character is Kirie Goshima, a highschool student who is one of the few who manage to remain sane in the town as the spiral takes over. Her boyfriend, Shuichi, is one of the first to be affected as both his parents end up dead due to the curse. Throughout the story Kirie is accompanied by her father, a potter, her mother and her little shit of a brother. Kirie and Shuichi are the two characters that end up investigating the happenings of the town.
This manga is a long, extremely well written and drawn adventure, and is guaranteed to freak and creep people out. Normally, I am drawn away from anime/manga, but I am a huge sucker for horror, and manga often has well written and creative horror stories. This is a great, and very scary story which you should all read.

sorry man
[QUOTE=iamgnome;19032720]sorry man[/QUOTE]
sorry for snapping bro but you can't compare spirals to that thing
Looks cool
The Enigma of Amigara Fault is superior.

Enigma of Amigara got me into horror manga
This definitely looks worth a read. At least the characters don't have uber huge eyes.
I remember this from the Parasyte thread.
Uzumaki chapter 9 I think it was, the hospital, now that was fucked up.
I prefer Parasite.
Parasyte is awesome.

WUAH!
I love this manga. It's so eerie.
Wow, chapter 3. This is some weird shit.
I thought this would have to do with Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
I'm at chapter 3 and I'm actually enjoying it so far. I'm not very fond of manga's, but this one is really good.
Pretty trippy and interesting.
I fully endorse this thread. Junji Ito is awesome.
Also, for those people who don't like reading manga, there's a movie (although it doesn't do the manga justice).

I didn't get scared, or afraid for that matter, by "The Enigma of Amigara Fault" but it'll give this a chance and see if it's good. I liked Amigara Fault though. It just didn't pull off the ending.
To be honest I was sort of annoyed by the ending to Uzumaki, as I was by Amigara Fault.
[sp]Kirie and Shuichi literally give up just before discovering the mystery of the curse[/sp]
Pretty cool actually.
Wow, this manga, is entertaining.

Are you trying to be like Shatner or something?
Also this manga is awesome.

Mosquitoes and the chapter after that are easily the most fucked up in the story
