The masked storyteller returns for a second time to recount tales and legends of horror and woe to children, including stories about a ventriloquist's dummy, a wish-granting locker, a capsule toy machine that returns lost items, and a peculiar food known as Ominie-san. Expanding on the groundwork established by the first series, Yami Shibai 2 is an anthology of Japanese scary stories concerning the unknown and the occult. These tales are genuinely terrifying and are narrated in a style that mimics kamishibai storytelling.
