Mononoke is unlike anything you’ve ever seen

Have you heard of the 2006 anime anthology, Ayakashi: Samurai Horror Tales? It’s a collection of three stories that draw from the well of Japanese myth and cultural tradition. The first and second stories, “Yotsuya Kaidan” and “Tenshu Monogatari,” adapt classic kabuki plays about betrayal and forbidden love. The third entry, “Bakeneko” — loosely translated to Demon Cat — is an original tale about a mysterious cat monster with a vendetta.
