Yokai Monsters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yokai Monsters is a series of Japanese children's movies created in the 1960s.
There were originally three movies made:
- Yokai Monsters: Spook Warfare 1968
- Yokai Monsters: One Hundred Monsters 1968
- Yokai Monsters: Along With Ghosts 1969
The films were produced by Daiei Motion Picture Company, and bear a resembelence to that studio's other series, Gamera and Daimajin, and to other Japanese pop culture favorites like Godzilla and Ultraman.
In 2005 Takashi Miike directed the first new entry in the series, The Great Yokai War, which was more or less a remake of Yokai Monsters: Spook Warfare.
