Red Room (animation)
Red Room (赤い部屋, Akai heya?) is an interactive Adobe Flash horror animation, entirely in Japanese, about an urban legend called "the Red Room". The protagonist searches on the Internet for proof of its existence, only for the results to go horribly wrong. It can be considered a prank flash because of an unexpected occurrence that takes place after the video ends.
This flash video gained notoriety when it was discovered to be a favorite of the schoolgirl who committed the Sasebo slashing on 1 June 2004.

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or room:
“What art can paint or gild any object in afterlife with the glow which Nature gives to the first baubles of childhood. St. Peter’s cannot have the magical power over us that the red and gold covers of our first picture-book possessed. How the imagination cleaves to the warm glories of that tinsel even now! What entertainments make every day bright and short for the fine freshman!”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“When you see the abyss, and we have looked into it, then what? There isn’t much room at the edge—one person, another, not many. If you are there, others cannot be there. If you are there, you become a protective wall. What happens? You become part of the abyss.”
—Elie Wiesel (b. 1928)
