Shimizu


In an interview posted in About.com, Takashi Shimizu, director of Ju-on and The Grudge, speaks of a time when he had difficulty understanding why people paid money to watch scary movies. Back in his Jr. High days, he was easily scared and avoided anything horror-related. It's difficult to imagine that the mastermind behind the hair-splitting meowing kid and the croaking, hairy woman wasn't into spooky ghosts from an early age. Life does that to you.

For those interested in getting a closer look of Shimizu, here's an interview taken from Spike.
