Hunter × Hunter
Before the first anime television series was created, a short film adaptation of "Hunter × Hunter" was shown as part of the 1998 "Jump Super Anime Tour" alongside similar adaptations of "Seikimatsu Leader den Takeshi!" and "One Piece". Produced by Studio Pierrot and directed by Noriyuki Abe, it depicts the early events of the manga up to Gon's ocean voyage from Whale Island.
Horror comics
Horror comics have also been sources for horror films, such as "30 Days of Night", "Hellboy" and "Blade", and, from horror manga, such films as "Uzumaki" (2000), "Z ~Zed~" (2014) and two 1980s movies directed by comics creator Hideshi Hino adapted from his manga "Guinea Pig: Flower of Flesh and Blood" and "Guinea Pig: Mermaid in a Manhole". Robert Kirkman's comic-book series "The Walking Dead" was adapted in 2010 into an ongoing TV series on the AMC cable network.
