妖怪百物語 (1968)

One-hundred monsters! (via). DPs: Yasukazu Takemura & Shōzō Tanaka.

[A favourite] horror movie with more than one bad guy*

 

A shrine must give way to a brothel, and a game of supernatural storytelling follows. At the end of the spooky tales, the landowner neglects to complete the all-important purification ceremony resulting in one-hundred yōkai – one for each story – coming out to haunt the rich man and his cronies.

 

* the Bales 2025 Film Challenge for October is horror-themed as opposed to date-based, and is all about favourites. Expect non-horror and films I believe to be relevant instead.
