Welcome back to a brand new bonus episode of Hero Hero Ghost Show.  Now in a world where no new Tomie films exist (much the shame), Richard Glenn Schmidt returns to tackle another female-centric series of films.  This time, we look into the world of all-girls high schools in South Korea with the Whispering Corridors series.  In the first film, titled appropriately enough Whispering Corridors, a vengeful spirit may or may not be possessing a student and murdering teachers, but maybe that’s not the worst thing.  In the second, the lyrical Momento Mori, we return to another high school in this spiritual sequel where two girls discover a forbidden love and narrative logic is tossed out the window.

We discuss the controversies surrounding both films on their release and what makes these films standouts in the genre, as well as get very, very silly with bonus ghosts, lesbian undertones and overtones, spooky giant ghosts, what makes a Whispering Corridors movie, nihilistic nachos and much more!

Opening song: Dice by Band Maid
