>Reminds me of the Japanese cinema catch-phrase of the 1950s: "Ero, Guro,
>Nansensu" (Erotic, Grotesque, Nonsense). This was applied to the films that
>came after the Occupation was lifted, in adaptations such as the stories by
>Edogawa Rampo and Yokomizu Seishi.
Actually, the term is from the 1920s (though not necessarily in cinema),
when Edogawa was first writing.
