I don't know if it's a result of the translation, but some of the stories have really stilted dialogue that distracts from their creepiness. The Frankenstein adaptation is the best of the lot; suitably chilling (and not overly gory, but there are depictions of body parts and violence).

The first half is the story of Frankenstein and the rest is a collection of stories.  Art is a 10/10 as always, he is a master at horror.
