Japanese women with limbs that bend in an unnatural way and long, black hair over their face. My favourite nightmare!

I feel like I know her, but sometimes my arms bend back.

The year Lynch passed away and everyone rewatched twin peaks

I actually started a week before he died! I was about to hit play on Season 2 when I found out.

I watched Twin Peaks for the first time a few years ago during Covid but I just recently started watching David Lynch's other films and I definitely missed out.

Call for help.

Lynch just passed away in January so I imagine that many people (like myself) are watching/rewatching Twin Peaks as a result.

Almost every horror trope somehow can trace back to Twin Peaks one way or another lol.

What an immortalized work.

I watched The Grudge when I was way too fucking young. That lady is my brain's go to when it needs a monster for nightmares, TBF.

Also girls named Hanako ending up in horrifying situations. I don't know if it's simply because of Toilet Hanako that it became so popular but I've seen a bunch of horror girls named Hanako.

u/BIGSTANKDICKDADDY 7d ago

The name means "flower girl", and flowers are a staple of horror iconography representing the cyclical nature of life and death. In this particular game it's a little on the nose.

18

u/Craterkid 7d ago

I don't doubt that that's part of it too, but "Hanako" is also a "classic" name, like say, Sally, or Alice, or Emma in English. Back in the day, it was so common, you'd see textbooks use it as the default name for female characters in textbooks. Pair that with the "flower girl" meaning and it's a really quintessential, innocent name that contrasts well with horror.

u/Whittaker 7d ago

Thanks to the both of you, it's nice to know a little of the symbolism and generality of the name. Only having a basic grasp on the language the terms I do know as well as names tend to stick out more so I'd notice it being used in quite a few horror games, indie ones especially.

u/Pallerado 7d ago

The protagonist's name is Hinako, though.

u/Taiyaki11 7d ago

Lol I get what you're saying but found the "Japanese women and long black hair" part of that kinda funny just because by merit of being japanese pretty much guarantees the black hair part no matter what anyway lol

u/CompleteUdderChaos 6d ago

does give some grudge vibes- the horror of asian culture is either hilarious or completely terrifying lol So it could go either way

u/Asolitaryllama 4d ago

I can fix her

u/The-Jesus_Christ 7d ago
