As chief curator at Samurai Saturday, I feel it's my duty to go off-script when needed. It finally feels like autumn, so let's start ghost story month early!
Before that: Adventures of Captain Marvel Chapter 9, Dead Man's Trap! (Is there a ghost in that one?)
Then, one of Japan's most oft-told ghost stories. This version is from Daiei by Kenji Misumi in 1959: The Ghost of Yotsuya!

Just the right amount of tropeiness and batshittery on top of a fairly decent story (For this kind of flick. The bar is not high.). The odd slo-mo and still-frame shots threaten to derail the whole thing. But Alexander Fu Sheng's quippery pushes this from good to excellent.
