I've heard of some cities slogans being "Keep Austin/Portland Weird"...but I don't think they could ever be as weird as Japan.

If you are stressed out by the pandemic, or really anything in your life, a company in Japan is willing to put you in a coffin surrounded by zombies with chainsaws to get your mind off things.

Customers will lie in a 6 1/2 foot windowed coffin, listening to a horror story, all while getting poked with fake hands and squirted with water.

“The pandemic is stressful, and we hope people can get a bit of relief by having a good scream,” Kenta Iwana from the Kowagarasetai 'Scare Squad' said.

“Lots of events have been canceled because of the coronavirus, and I was looking for a way to get rid of my stress,” said Kazushiro Hashiguchi, who laid in the box for only $7.60. “I feel relaxed now.”
