6:09 OH MY GOD THAT’S YUKO
I’m just happy they showed Coco. Also I have Tinnitus meaning I alway have ringing in my ears… I guess them skeledemons want me bad huh? Well damn.
i think kune kune, mary- san, hanako, maiden in the gap.
There’s another way to escape from Kuchisake-onna; you just have to tell her you’re late for an appointment and – politely – ask to be excused. Much like the Kappa and some other evil spirits, she’s bound by rules of etiquette and will step aside.
I also heard one version of the story that claims she has an incurable sweet tooth, and supposedly, throwing fruit or candy on the ground will distract her long enough for a victim to flee; this suggests the legend might have derived from the Chinese Taoist “hungry ghost” myth that claims a ghost may become feral if funeral rites are neglected, and can be appeased by offering food.
Make more urban legends from other countries

i’ve heard another way to get away from the slit-mouth woman is to say something like ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’, basically a non-committal answer will save you.
