TSUTAYA Co., Ltd. (headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo), which operates 1,477 TSUTAYA stores nationwide, is pleased to announce that, despite the continued heat of this summer even after the start of autumn, we have conducted a survey of TSUTAYA's all-time rental rankings of horror movies, hoping that it will help people across Japan feel a little cooler. Additionally, for each film, a horror movie enthusiast from the TSUTAYA Hidden Gems team assigned a "chill-inducing" rating on a three-point scale. If you're not a fan of horror, we hope this will be helpful to you as well.
