High School Mystery: Seven Wonders of the School

Aired: 1991

Adapted from Jiro Tsunoda's horror manga, this omnibus suspense series visits a different haunted high school each episode, where students confront the legendary 'seven wonders' of their campus. Centered on a girl with psychic sensitivity, the show explores grudges, regrets and curses lingering in school grounds late at night. The deliberately spare scoring, instrumental opening and ending themes by Akira Mitake of Ippudo, and restrained sound effects create a singular atmosphere of dread that left a lasting impression on viewers, marking the series as an enduring icon of Japanese late-night TV horror.
