Directed by Norio Tsuruta with screenwriting by Chiaki Konaka, the "Scary True Stories" DVD release by Dark Sky collects all ten individual stories that came from the three part series the duo created - "Scary True Stories", "Scary True Stories: Night Two" and "Scary True Stories: Realm of Specters". These short ten films take you into the J-horror underground as you are shown what is supposedly truthful stories of ghostly hauntings.
The last series, "Realm of Specters", is by far the scariest of the "Scary True Stories" bunch and closes with "Be Gone Crone!!" - a tale of a young child's horror from her window; "My Friend at the Stairwell" - a pair of classmates try to help the lonely spirit of a boy in a stairwell of their school. "Paralysis" - a woman finds herself tormented at night by a grotesque goblinesque creature who won't allow her to move during his work; and "The Black Hair in the Abandoned Building" - some young folks are cursed after making mischief in an abandoned and supposedly haunted local mansion.
