Fact: Japanese culture kicks your culture's ass. They've got samurai films and Harajuku girls, and their capital city looks like Blade Runner, for Christ sake! What more could you want from a tiny wisp of a country in the Pacific? Think about it. If not for the atomic bomb, you'd probably be speaking Japanese right now—and you'd be a lot smarter and more productive, probably. (Stereotypes are okay if they're positive ones, right? Right.)

Japan pretty much annihilates the competition in the graphic design department, too. Here are some Japanese horror movie posters that both prove my point and tie in nicely with the Halloween Film Fest:
