Daiei Gothic! Ghost of Yotsuya (1959), Snow Woman (1968), Bride from Hades (1968)
About this episode
The hosts discuss three classic horror films from Daiei Studios and their influence on the J-horror movement.
Byrd, Tom and Lux discuss three classic horror films from Daiei Studios (recently released in the excellent Daiei Gothic blu-ray set from Radiance Films). Ghost of Yotsuya, Snow Woman, and Bride From Hades are all based on famous folk horror stories that have been adapted many times over the years (and would influence much of the J-horror movement later on). These three films take those stories and apply Daiei's iconic art direction and production value of the time to create three memorable versions of classic ghost tales. What did we think? Listen and find out!
