• 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.
