Battlefield Baseball is a tough game — it doesn't end until all the members on the opposing team are dead. In this game the Gedo High team is composed of blue-faced zombies, and their opponents on the Seido High team know they don't have a chance at beating them unless they can bring back a star pitcher who has a lethal pitch called the Super Tornado, but who has hung up his cleats and has no desire to return to the game.

本片是一部带有浓郁昭和气息的怪谈动画，每集开头均为傍晚黄昏，著名实力派男星津田宽治配音的江湖艺人高声吆喝，招揽顾客，以洋片（紙芝居）的形式讲述一个又一个短小精悍却恐怖阴森的都市怪谈。如新搬入的公寓贴着奇怪符咒、不断能印出发丝的复印机、为了防止被上身而不得不彻夜欢笑的家族、直通地下13层的诡异电梯……每集均在最紧张时刻戛然而止，使观者在恐慌之际又留下无限回味空间，其风格与《新耳袋》和《毛骨悚然撞鬼经》有异曲同工之妙。故做古旧拙朴的画面和风格幽异的片尾曲，更加为这部短剧增色不少。此外，官网还不定期提供短篇小说供爱好者阅读。

～特典映像～(通常版、ヴィレ版に共通で収録)
・第14話「西の方のトンネル」(出演:板尾創路、増本庄一郎)

Capable of making bio-mechanical weapons out of human flesh, alien parasites grotesquely invade the Earth, turning their hosts into maniacal killers who seek and destroy each other to the bloody death! And yes, it s also a human love story, even though the budding romantics are infested with slimy, tumor-like globules.

“瞧一瞧看一看，暗芝居表演开始喽~”
伴随着稀疏冷清的鼓声，江湖艺人（津田宽治 配音）鬼魅的吆喝声再度响起，充满好奇心的孩子从四面八方聚过来，一同观看哪一个有一个让人胆战心惊并且回味起来已经冷汗直冒的恐怖故事。承接第一季，《暗芝居》的故事继续以洋片（紙芝居）的表现形式讲述短小精悍的恐怖故事，而此次制作阵容得到壮大，在恐怖领域占有重要席位的清水崇（《咒怨》）、井口升（《无限富江》）等导演相继加盟，无疑提升了本作第二季的恐怖指数。片尾曲方面，初音带来的《四十九日目》，其邪典气息不逊于前作。此外，官网依然不定期提供恐怖短篇小说，让爱好者们继续在幽暗的世界里徜徉。
