2. Eastern

A. Evils (Spirit)

Compare：

Similarity： At the story part, Eastern and Western films have many similarities, such as evils, monsters and kinky killers, in these three part, the Western horror films put energy on kinky killers and Eastern horror film makers would like spirit evils more. 

Difference: 

1. The Eastern horror films, especially Japanese horror films would like to make some suicide films, this effect  due to its national conditions. Other countries in Eastern also have these kind of horror films, But there are less films of this style shows in Europe.

2. The Europe horror films often put their attention on science, such as the scientific research lead to some variation, or people discover some alien planets, those kind of horror films all could explained by science or undiscovered science, but shows less in Eastern horror films.


These two areas are all have some legend films, but with the difference of culture, there are some little different describing targets  between them.
