Radiance Films is haunted by DAIEI GOTHIC (review)

Vengeful ghosts, alluring yokai, and the loving dead haunt DAIEI GOTHIC, a triple feature of classic ghost stories from the celebrated studio.  In THE GHOST OF YOTSUYA, an ex-samurai is haunted by the ghost of his murdered first wife.  In THE SNOW WOMAN, a young woodsman makes a vow to the life-sucking woman of the snow that could cost him his life if he breaks it.  In THE BRIDE FROM HADES, the third son of a samurai family falls in love with a courtesan who may not be of this world.
