For The Record

caraigAfter watching The Ring I have discovered that I get really, really damn creeped out by the 'scary girl' schtick, that you see in a whole heck of a lot of Japanese horror films. I'm not sure why, but The Ring, Eyes, The Grudge, all make me want to crawl under the bed. This is partly why F.E.A.R. scared the bejebus out of me (and partly why I found the ending to Extraction Point rather satisfying) and to a lesser extent Prey. So when I get a dream of some kind, involving a little creepy girl who disappears and reappears at will, always when you're not looking at her, trying to kill me dead, then I got understandably a bit freaked. However....
After the fifth time trying to kill her in my dream before she killed me, and she's still bouncing around like an evil version of Dora the Explorer, it's really interesting how quickly fear turns into an emotion that can best be summed up as, 'My name is Ash. I work in Housewares.' At that point I was wondering where I could get a nuke to get rid of her. Because, of course, if at first you don't succeed, make a bigger bomb.

And they wear matching school-kid uniforms, because they KNOW that makes them even creepier. :D
The television series "Angel" did it as well. The most powerful of the Ra-Tet (totems of the God Ra) was Mesektet, who represented the sunset and the most malevolent of the aspects of the God. Mesektet chose to present herself as a young girl (8-10) in a red dress.
