Today, Zero Zero Enterprises launched a Kickstarter featuring Japanese horror legend Junji Ito and two-time Grammy-nominated artist Poppy for a chilling collaboration like no other.
Junji Ito’s iconic horror story, Old Records (1997), is now just that: a fully produced immersive audio experience on a vinyl record, with Poppy bringing a spine-tingling English vocal performance that breathes life into the adaptation.
Experience Old Records in a whole new way, adapted by Ryan Cady (The X-Files, MAGDALENA) and performed in English by Poppy and Shoko Nakagawa (Gurren Lagann, Dragon Ball Z) in Japanese. The tale follows a long-lost record of singer Paula Bell’s final song and the terrible curse that befalls anyone who listens. This isn’t just a collector’s item; it’s the story breaking free from the page, becoming the very nightmare it warns against.
Back the Old Records Kickstarter campaign here and watch the ominous teaser trailer here. But listeners beware: The curse of Paula Bell’s final tune may linger beyond the trailer’s end…
