How are you viewing it kenko? I've seen it before and it features some animation that isn't working on my iPhone right now.

His Face All Red previously.
Korean motion comic previously (among other mentions).
The Korean comic has some flipbook animation and sound. If that's not working for you, you're not getting the full effect.

Am I missing something about the Korean one?
You need to have Flash enabled to get the key fright pieces in the Korean one. It's been around awhile, but a nice, simple scare.

Warning: the FPP link contains click-click-click. This is the Korean comic, also known as deep-fried NOPE on a stick. The other East Asian Nightmare Fuel is drr-drr-drr, also known as The Enigma of Amigara Fault.

Yeah, you have to see the Korean one "right". I expected some sort of "screamer", but this one still got me to jump.

Uhh... What? Can you explain that a bit? It certainly made me jump a bit, but nothing so bad as to warrant a warning... Some sort of cultural thing in Korea that makes it a lot worse there than to an American?
Anyway, thanks for the link(s)! You've effectively wasted my Saturday afternoon, but in a good way. :)

pla: I guess it just affects people in different ways. I think it's the scariest thing on the Internet. If I follow a link and see that beginning scene, I don't bother with hitting the back button and just shut down my web browser with extreme prejudice instead.

The Korean comic is terrifying, but in a way that kind of makes me angry at myself for being terrified by it, since it's basically just a cheap jump scare. It's just: Comics aren't supposed to be able to do that.

My partner and I each had our students read that Korean comic for ENGL 101 last year; never before have I had 18-year old guys admit before their whole class that they'd teared up and nearly wet themselves over their English homework...

Hahahaha. I have seen click click click a dozen times and haven't watched it in a year and still just audibly went ARGH when "it" happened. Love that so much.

I think this has been shared before, but I think this needs a lin to a collection of Junji Ito's manga.

I love that Korean one just because it gives us a small taste of what it might have been like to have lived through the births of other major media. The stories of the audience leaping out of their chairs and taking flight upon being shown that first film of the oncoming train become not just more plausible, but more imaginable after this. And some generation had to have been the first to be shocked by what are now cheap horror-movie tricks like the attack from off-frame, the thing coming right at you, or the it-was-just-a-cat cliche. It's nice to actually be around during one of the inventions of these tricks and be able to savor it.

Aaaargh. I've watched it several times and that Korean comic still makes me board the train to Nopeville, with stops at Aw Hell No, Fuck That, and The Hell is Wrong With You.

Two parodies of The Enigma of Amigara Fault, both by KC Green:
The Enigma of Jughead Fault
Kramer is an Owl

I am easily startled and don't particularly enjoy it so I now hate this thread for making me check out that Korean comic with scripts turned on lololol. I can see how some people enjoy that stuff but not me! I love creepy menacing atmosphere and the feeling that something horrible could happen at any moment but being given a heart attack a few panels into a comic just makes me close the tab as fast as possible :(
