Ya don't get me started on Sparkling Vampires. Meyer is nowhere close to King, Lovercraft, Rise, Stoker and Yukito Ayatsuji. The first of which pretty much said that J.K. Rowling, a kids fantasy author is better than her. With that said, Japan has actually caused great influence in america. Many of Akira Kurosawa's classics were remade as many of the well known westerns. Seven Samurai helped inspire the Magnificent Seven. However it's not all one sided. American horror has also been a big inspiration to many Japanese horror stories/games/movies. Silent Hill for example was inspired by The Mist.
