090 - Kwaidan (1965)


Listen Later

Randy has been selecting a lot of spooky films for use recently, and the trend continues with Masaki Kobayashi's 1965 horror anthology Kwaidan.  We're treated to four eerie tales adapted from the collection of Japanese folklore of the same name.  Each more gorgeously photographed than the next.  Ghostly imperial courts, ice vampires, dead lovers, and mischievous teacup spirits round out the cast of nightmarish characters.
