A collection of three of Japan's most famous ghost stories that have haunted people for centuries: THE GHOST OF YOTSUYA (1959), THE SNOW WOMAN (1968), THE BRIDE FROM HADES (1968).
THE GHOST OF YOTSUYA
Kenji Misumi (LONE WOLF AND CUB) directs THE GHOST OF YOTSUYA, in which a woman returns from the grave as a horribly disfigured phantom to torment her husband and his new bride.
THE SNOW WOMAN
In THE SNOW WOMAN, directed by Tokuzo Tanaka (ZATOICHI), a woodcutter must keep his oath to a vengeful female spirit or pay the ultimate price.
THE BRIDE FROM HADES
THE BRIDE FROM HADES by Satsuo Yamamoto (SHINOBI) sees a handsome samurai so enchanted by a courtesan's beauty that he fails to realise she is a ghost.
These three film versions from the Daiei studio form a pinnacle of atmospheric Japanese horror. Their elegant visuals and ominous shadows rival the best of Terence Fisher or Mario Bava, while their iconic female ghosts would greatly influence Asian genre cinema, from Hong Kong fantasy spectacles such as A CHINESE GHOST STORY to J-horror.
