Hanayashiki) all this time―――― Once upon a time, a girl named Botan lived in a mansion in a downtown area. While playing, Botan
accidentally broke the “Neck-holding Shrine” that stood in the town’s evil direction. That was the beginning of her fear. That night, Botan was possessed by someone, and while she lost her mind, she cut off the heads of the people in the neighborhood one by one, repeating the murders. And finally, she cut off her own head and took her own life. Fearing further curses, the people sealed her away as an evil spirit in an old temple well, which is said to have strong spiritual power, and built a new shrine next to the well with prayers that such a tragedy would never happen again. And before long, the incident was forgotten— Time passed and in the present day, Japan’s oldest amusement park, “Asakusa Hanayashiki”. In one corner of the haunted house, there have been constant rumors that “ghosts really appear” for some reason since ancient times, and people have been worried by strange noises and eerie presences of unknown origin. Then one day, the haunted house was renovated due to its age. During a large-scale construction project, a strange object was found underground. It was a decaying well with an ominous aura. In fact, this haunted house was built on the site of the well with a bad reputation. The seal was broken and the “Curse of the Neck” was revived. The tragedy repeats itself―― ◆【Reference】Shochiku Obakeya Honpo A horror brand launched by Shochiku in 1998.
