Monster Horror on Blu-ray

Our Monster Horror collection spans giant-creature spectacle and stop-motion oddity - from Toho's classic kaiju icon Mothra to Bong Joon-ho's modern monster masterpiece The Host, alongside Japan's beloved Yokai Monsters series and gleefully strange gekimation animation from UJICHA.

If you enjoy folklore-driven creature features, our Occult Horror and Supernatural Horror collections are close companions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as "Monster Horror"?

This collection covers creature-feature horror, from classic giant-monster (kaiju) cinema to folklore-based yokai films and stranger, more experimental monster movies.

What is "gekimation"?

Gekimation is UJICHA's own term for his distinctive stop-motion technique using paper cutouts - it produces a strikingly handmade, unsettling look unlike traditional animation or live action.

Is The Host really a horror film?

The Host blends horror, black comedy and family drama around a monster attack on Seoul - it's as much a character piece as a creature feature, and one of the most acclaimed films in this collection.

Are these region-free with English subtitles?

Yes, these are region-free releases from specialist Japanese and Korean cinema labels, with English subtitles included.

Do you have more folklore-based horror?

Yes - see our Occult Horror and Jiangshi Horror collections for more folklore-rooted titles.
