I got this idea for a threat from one started by Clayton on urban legends in general. I was thinking about anime series or movies which are based on an urban legend. The legend may have been made up especially for that anime, or it may be one which has been appropriated. Either way, the urban legend has to be a major plot point.
I can only think of two off hand.
Hell Girl and all follow-up series. After a gap of several years, the fourth Hell Girl series came out about a year ago. I have only seen the first three. Log onto the Hell Girl website at midnight sharp, and type in the name of the person you want to send to hell. But there is a price for your revenge.
Boogeypop Phantom. Boogeypop will get you if you don't watch out. This is a hard series to follow, but that's part of it's charm. Not only are the episodes not in chronological order, but the scenes in each episode are not in order as well. The drab color scheme actually draws you in. I would like to have seen more.
I will try to think of more. Meanwhile, what can you come up with.
