Netflix has revealed a frightening new poster for JunjiItoManiac along with images from four new story adaptations the series will tackle.
Japanese master of horror Junji Ito won't be gracing us with anything on-screen in time for Halloween, but Netflix was able to unveil a frightening new piece of key art for their upcoming adaptation of his work Junji Ito Maniac: Japanese Tales of the Macabre. The streamer also revealed four more of the mangaka's terrifying tales that will be adapted in the anthology as well as the voice cast for each of the new episodes.
Drawn with faded colors in painstaking detail with Ito's signature style, the new image hypes up one particular story from the horror master's catalog — Tomie. The titular antagonist's chopped-off, ghostly head lies on the ground while her body stands and waits as the horrific amalgamation of Tomie clones complete with the body of a giant worm writhes its way down an alley.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Alongside the previously announced Tomie, Shouichi, and "The Hanging Balloons," Netflix revealed that "Ice Cream Truck" , "Tomb Town" , "Library Vision" , and "Headless Statue" will all be adapted. "Ice Cream Truck" recounts the fates of kids that are invited aboard a seemingly friendly man's bus to enjoy some ice cream.
Originally announced during Netflix's Geeked Week, Junji Ito Maniac is looking to redeem the stories of the horror mangaka after the decidedly lackluster Junji Ito Collection. Ito's influence has been felt and appreciated across the globe, inspiring the likes of Guillermo del Toro among others, and garnering multiple Eisner awards in the process. He recently picked up another pair of awards last year for Remina and Venus in the Blind Spot.
Junji Ito Maniac is slated to release on Netflix on January 19, 2023. Check out the horrifying key art below.
