  • I typed "Americanized versions of Japanese horrors" into google and clicked on the first link entitled "The Current Influence of Japanese Horror Movies on American Horror ..." (source = www.associatedcontent.com/article/245835/the_current_influence_of_japanese_horror.html).
  • The article on the page was written by L. Vincent Poupard and published May 17th 2007.
  • www.echostation.com/features/japanese.htm - japanese influences on star wars.
  • Need to research a broader range of genres that have been Americanized.

Beginning Research

Today I begun researching "The influence of Japanese horror films on modern western cinema".

I first typed in "japanese horror films influence on western horror films" into google search engine and clicked on the first link which was an interview for the famous Japanese Horror Director called Hideo Nakata. (Source: http://int.kateigaho.com/win05/horror-nakata.html)
