The Asian Horror bandwagon grows heavier as HBO jumps on with "Japanese Connection", a collection of the Japanese horror movies that have garnered attention outside of their homeland. The Connection will start on November 5 at 9 pm with the airing of Hideo Nakata's "Ringu", aka "The Ring". The movie inspired an English-language Spielberg remake of the same name.

On November 12 at 9 pm, HBO will air "Ringu 0: Birthday", the prequel to the original which tells how Sadako became a vengeful spirit. On November 19th at pm, Takashi Shimizu's " Ju-on: The Grudge" will be shown. The movie tells the story, in vignettes, of a house in which a violent death occurred, inflicting horror on the building and those who enter it.

The Japanese Connection ends on November 26 at 9 pm with Hideo Nakata's bone-chilling "Dark Water", which tells the story of a newly single mother coping with her new apartment and the youthful ghost which haunts it. Full channel info can be found at HBO.com.
