Show notes

Our appreciation of 1969 continues with a look at Teruo Ishii's Horrors of Malformed Men. Based on the writings of Edogawa Rampo, the movie tells the tale of Hirosuke Hitomi (Teruo Yoshida) who we first see locked up in an insane asylum. Things only go downhill from there...

Ben Buckingham (opens in a new tab) and Jess Byard (opens in a new tab) join Mike to delve into the ero-guro genre.
