The episode "The Cursed Rokurokubi of Japan" is the fifteenth episode of the fourth season of the horror storytelling show, Something Scary. This episode follows the story of a young woman, named Emiko, who has been cursed by a Rokurokubi, a creature from Japanese mythology that has the ability to stretch its neck to extreme lengths. Emiko's curse causes her to transform into a Rokurokubi every night, without her control.

As the episode begins, we see Emiko in her everyday life, trying to hide her curse and live a normal life. However, her curse begins to disrupt her life, as she starts to lose sleep and her body begins to hurt from constantly transforming into a Rokurokubi. Emiko's close friend, a folklore scholar named Rie, recognizes the curse as a traditional Japanese myth and helps her research a way to break the curse.

Through their research, Rie and Emiko learn that Rokurokubi are cursed beings who were once human. The curse caused them to transform into Rokurokubi at night and feed on human blood. The only way to break the curse is to find and destroy the source of the curse, which is usually an object or a person.

Emiko remembers that she recently received a gift from her ex-boyfriend, who had recently visited Japan. The gift was a small statuette of a Rokurokubi. Rie and Emiko suspect the curse is coming from the statue, so they try to track down the ex-boyfriend in order to destroy the statue and break the curse.

As they search for the ex-boyfriend, Emiko's curse becomes more severe, causing her to transform more frequently and easily. One night, while trying to get away from a group of men who are harassing her, Emiko transforms into a Rokurokubi and attacks them. The attack leads to an investigation by the police, revealing Emiko's secret to the public.

Desperate to break the curse, Emiko decides to track down her ex-boyfriend alone. She finds him in Japan and confronts him about the cursed statue. He admits to buying the statue from a shady dealer in hopes of getting revenge on Emiko for breaking up with him. Emiko destroys the statue and the curse is broken.

The episode ends with Emiko returning to her normal life, free from the curse of the Rokurokubi. However, the episode leaves a haunting message about the dangers of allowing revenge to consume us and the power of ancient legends and curses.

Overall, "The Cursed Rokurokubi of Japan" is a spooky and suspenseful episode that explores the rich tradition of Japanese mythology. The episode expertly weaves together horror and folklore, creating a unique and captivating story that is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
