Kwaidan (1964)



This is one of the greatest horror anthology movies you are ever going to see. Oh! it's just dripping with style.

It's so chock-full of style, Akira Kurosawa did his own version of the Snow Maiden. That's a very good story, actually. We might have to come back to that.

These stories come to us from Lafcadio Hern's book, Kwaidan (go check it out!). He had a pretty amazing life.

Someone needs to do a chibi version of this, like, yesterday. We can call it "Kawaiidan".

Dibs on that gag.

Oh Thank Heaven!


Come On In, Coke!




The early years of the Terebi Gamu!






TV's & VCR's (but no cable, apparently they were fine with the ol' rabbit ears but hell, they got STEREO far earlier than we did)







A little too much overload, let's cool off with some POCARI SWEAT or a fancy NESCAFE to wash all that down!





A craft now lost to the ages, photography!







And now, misc. crap!
