In this week’s episode, Zack and Kelly are joined by one of Scritophobic’s original writers, author and professor Chris Vander Kaay! Our guest chose the movie for discussion and he picked a good one: Masaki Kobayashi classic anthology film, Kwaidan (1964).
In addition to the movie, the trio chatted a little about Vander Kaay’s books, including Spoiler Alert! and Horror Films by Subgenre: A Viewer’s Guide. Vander Kaay was also excited to talk about his new free Indie Filmmaking Master Class, which we encourage you to check out. It’s a series of videos as well as a free ebook!
Giving everyone an equal voice in the film arts is important to me. That’s why I created this Master Class.
If you know someone who could benefit from this, please share it.
It’s helpful, inspirational, informational, and FREE!https://t.co/G4TpGEs50x

Kwaidan is available on DVD and Blu-ray from the Criterion Collection and can be streamed on the Criterion Channel.
SHOW NOTE: though the episode ends with our original plan for watching Ishiro Honda’s Matango next, Kelly is going to be taking some time off and the show will be talking about Matango on some future episode. Next week’s episode will be Kenji Fukasaku’s THE GREEN SLIME (1968). Sitting in for Kelly will be Toku Tuesday‘s Andrew Roebuck! If you’d like to watch The Green Slime before next week’s episode, the film can be found on DVD and Blu-ray and digital rental prices are pretty cheap at the time of this article’s publication.
