Daiei Gothic Vol. 2- The Demon of Mt Oe (1960), The Haunted Castle (1969), The Ghost of Kasane Swamp (1970)

Byrd, Lux and Kevin discuss three more gothic horrors from Daiei Studios (recently released in the excellent Daiei Gothic Volume 2 blu-ray set from Radiance Films). Daiei would often combine the period drama and folk horror genres to create a unique brand of gothic cinema that was a staple of their output in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Here we have three more classic horror films from the studio’s glory days: the historical fantasy The Demon of Mt. Oe, the gothic ghost film The Haunted Castle, and the supernatural revenge tale The Ghost of Kasane Swamp. What did we think? Listen and find out!
