Tales of Terror: Haunted Apartments (Kaidan Shin Mimibukuro: Gekijô-ban - Yûrei manshon)

Aimi?!

It's OK, Dad. Hurry back.

They won't kill you now.

Dad! Hurry!

Here's one, dad.

For rent: 2BR apartment, 70,000/mo.

That one...

It doesn't look bad...

But it's a 35 year-old building, a long way from the station...

Well, we have to compromise on some things, don't we

Mr. Yamato?

Yes.

I've been expecting you, I'm Ebisu, the Building Manager.

This way, please.

It's old, but it's been well maintained.

It's very comfortable.

I live with my wife on the first floor.

We've been here, how long? Three years now...

Is the young lady in high school?

Yes. In Grade 11.

I see...

Excuse me.

Let's see... 301...

Come in.

The building's owner lives out in the country.

It was built by a relative of his.

I understand he inherited it when the first owner died.

Is it sound-proof?

I can't have thin walls.

I write at home, so it can't be too noisy.

Write? You mean novels or something?

No, I'm a freelance journalist.

I write about nice Italian restaurants' or popular dating spots.

Dumb stuff like that.

I see...

Well, Aimi?

I like it...

Thank you very much!

I never thought you'd decide so fast!

Oh, I'm so happy!

So you'll move in a week from now? We'll be waiting.

Until then...

It's more than 35 years old...

Aimi!

Thus I first encountered 'the haunted apartments'.

There I experienced fear...

...and more than that, a grief that was deep and dark.

TALES OF TERROR 'The Haunted Apartments'

Show him in.

Mr. Yamato, these are the residents.

How do you do. I'm Hotei, from 103.

My wife, Mosami.

How do you do.

Izumo, from 201, and my wife

We're right below you. If you need anything, just ask.

I'm Kotobuki, from 203. This is my boyfriend.

What?

How do you do.

Oh... I'm Yamato. This is my daughter...

'Ai'

Is something wrong?

Aimi: Summer Clothes

Your name's Aimi? What a pretty name!

It sure is! It suits her.

Well, everyone...

Let us help. It's the 3rd floor and there's no elevator.

Many hands make light work!

Uh, thank you.

Wait, slow down a bit...

Are you OK? Shall I take it?

No, I'm fine. Sorry.

Where should we put this?

Uh, let me see...

In that corner for now.

You OK?

I've got it. You can let go.

301?

Yes.

I'm Takashi Izumo, from 201. How do you do.

How do you do.

You're the first person my age here.

Isn't there a girl about my age?

With long hair, kind of pale...

There's no one like that.

Hello.

Hello.

They all seem nice.

Too damn nice.

That's why I hate apartments.

But it's my fault. I'm useless.

I'm sorry.

Don't apologize.

It'll be fine.

I just hate to think of the house we lived in with mom...

...belonging to someone else.

This place is fine.

Mom...

...as of today, this is our home.

Mom...

...the truth is...

...I don't want to be here!

Aimi...

Aimi!

Coming.

What?

Here.

We're not unpacked yet.

That's OK.

Dad...

I've told you before...

...it's not your fault Mom died.

We're starting over now.

So...

...won't you quit drinking?

Dad?

Please...

Certificate of Commendation

Um, I've just moved into 301...

Come on you two! Quick! Get in!

Come on!

In you get!

Um...

It's not our fault.

Be back by midnight.

You have to be inside this rope by 12 o'clock at night.

Why?

It's a regulation here.

Regulation?

Make absolutely sure you don't break it.

Oh, and you'd better tell your father, too.

Having to be back by midnight... that's weird.

A curfew!

You'd think this was a school dorm!

Really!

Um...

...here.

The manager gave me your new address. It's near my school.

Thank you.

What did you mean, "It's not our fault"?

There's something weird about that building.

It's got funny rules, and those rocks out front...

And there's a girl my age there, but they say there isn't.

You saw her?

That building is cursed.

I remember when we first moved in there...

Coming!

It's the Manager.

Oh, yes...

Everything's all right?

Uh, yes, we're fine.

Make sure you observe the curfew.

And here's the building circular.

And your daughter's name...

...and the name of the daughter of the building's first owner...

...are exactly the same!

So his daughter was named...

I suggest you don't say her name when you're on this property.

I thought that was crazy, so I didn't pay it any mind.

Papa! Dinner.

'A-chan'! Eat your carrots, will you?

You too, 'Takkun'. Chew your food.

Let's eat!

Papa! Leave the TV off while we're eating.

It's OK.

No!

Let's do what Mama says.

This looks good! Eat up those carrots.

What's wrong?

Hm?

Nothing, nothing.

Papa, wake up...

What's that noise?

Papa...

It's OK.

Takumi!

Takumi!

Takkun?

There's something strange about this place!

Let's move!

We can't afford to. We'd lose our deposit.

That's mine!

Both of you, be quiet!

Takumi!

Ai!

What are you doing?!

Papa, help!

Let go!

I can't!

What are you talking about!

Ai!

Let go!

Ai!

Papa, pull him off!

Takumi! Takumi!

Mariko!

There's no choice!

Don't be stupid!

He's killing Ai!

No, Mama!

Forgive me!
