 Scary True Stories DVD Review
Scary True Stories is a collection of 10 short tales that aired on Japanese television in the early 1990s.
The first story, "The Lonely Girl," centers around a young girl on the swim team who finds the locker room is the last place she wants to be.
But while Scary True Stories may not be that scary for adults, or even true for that matter, it is an important anthology in the horror genre, not only because it is the directorial debut of Norio Tsuruta (Ring 0: Birthday), but it is also a pre-cursor to the J-Horror boom.

The men are repeatedly referred to as "monsters" ("monster dicks" itself doesn't bother me because it merely implies that said dicks are monstrously large, but referring to men themselves as monsters is another story) and their faces are actually mounted on cartoon animal bodies.

The box cover describes True Stories as "a completely cool, multi-purpose movie," and that's about as good a description as there can be for a film almost impossible to describe.
The townspeople are the true stars of the film, though; most of them are not even given names, and I think this is because they are not so much individuals as representatives of everyday men and women.
Of course, the star and central figure of True Stories is a reasonably svelte John Goodman; he plays Louis Fyne, a man desperate to find a woman to share his life with.
