I checked the novel book, wikipedia, and other related web pages but they all call it "Garan no DOU" not "Hora". I'm wondering whether the guy who added this movie info to the DB had a special reason for "Hora". If he/she made a simple mistake, we need to correct the title.

I first added it as Garan no Dou, but after taking another look at the title "伽藍の洞", 洞 is hora(?) so asked them to change dou to that.
In the novel it says;
4/伽藍の洞 「      」
And 4/ garan-no-dou among with the english subtitles.

After looking around some while making this post(thus I won't remove what I previously wrote), it seems 洞 is dou so the title shall be changed back to Garan no Dou. So yeah, it was my simple mistake. Thank you.

Thanks for the quick reactions. Japanese Kanji reads basically in "Kun" manner if it's one character word, but this rule has quite a few exceptions. Especially for this case, "Garan no Dou" is a coined word derived from "伽藍洞Garandou", as which Touko described Shiki's mind in 4th chapter.
