Misery Movies: Episode 14 – Kwaidan (Halloween Movie Marathon)


In episode fourteen of Misery Movies, our Halloween Movie Marathon concludes with a discussion of the classic Japanese ghost story anthology film Kwaidan.

As always, the first half of the podcast is spoiler-free and includes our review of the film, while the second dives deep into the miserable details of the movie and thus contains plentiful spoilers.

If you have a fetish for coughs and intrusive background noise, our original, unedited conversation can be found on our YouTube channel.

You can stream Kwaidan on FilmStruck.

The theme that plays at the beginning of the podcast is an excerpt from “Dance_or_Die” by Stefan Kartenberg, which Stefan has graciously made available for public use through a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license.
