'Daiei Gothic: Japanese Ghost Stories' (1959-68) Radiance Limited Edition Blu-ray Box Set | 4K restorations | Region A+B | Japanese w/ English subtitles

A collection of three of Japan's most famous ghost stories that have haunted people for centuries.

The Ghost of Yotsuya (Kenji Misumi, 1959):
A woman returns from the grave as a horribly disfigured phantom to torment her husband and his new bride.

The Snow Woman (Tokuzō Tanaka, 1968):
A woodcutter must keep his oath to a vengeful female spirit or pay the ultimate price. 

The Bride from Hades (Satsuo Yamamoto, 1968):
A handsome samurai becomes 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.
