Hachishaku-sama been getting popular recently, there has been a lot of pics of her getting uploaded. I'm not complaining I love my eight foot tall woman, she can spirit me away any day. And if she happens to be room mates with Sadako even better!

It's always amusing how we turn old folk horror monsters or monsters in general, into sexy erotic women (most of the time) that are always horny and only want sex. It probably also helps people with a fear of monsters, overcome them (probably), but making them aroused everytime they think of one is possibly not a great side effect, but at least better horny than scared I suppose.

Reminds me of this bit:

Alanis, killed by Hasshaku-sama

Dude, she was made up in '08 on 2ch and that's literally how she looks like.

Any context related to the resurgence of Hasshaku-sama? Lady Dimitrescu fad kinda feels like ages ago already so I don't think it's due to shared traits...

Not only did she always look like this, but raping little boys was one of the things she was originally known for.

Even if she's the exception, you can't deny the fact that we turn horrifying monsters (either from recent or old fantasy/horror), into sexually arousing horny women, quite often and quite well.

Probably because it's August, the 8th month of the year.
