Episode description
Byrd, Matt and Tom are back with another October horror special. This time we will be talking about three horror films from Shochiku Studios; Goke, Body Snatcher From Hell, The Living Skeleton and Genocide. Normally a studio known for family dramas and art house films, Shochiku made a run of genre films (also including their kaiju opus The X From Outer Space) to try and produce a hit in a time when the Japanese film industry was on life support. How did this brief experiment go for the desperate studio? Listen and find out!
