  • OMP 27: Black Cat Mansion (1958)
    Jun 17 2021

    In this episode of One Missed Pod, Zack introduces Kelly to the 1958 cat curse movie Black Cat Mansion (aka Mansion of the Ghost Cat. From director Nobuo Nakagawa (Jigoku), the film is a delightfully odd little horror story with catgirls, curses from beyond the grave, and samurai cheating at boardgames, all squeezed into a short 69 minutes (nice). Zack and Kelly mostly giggle their way through the episode.


    Spoilers abound.

    You can find the film streaming on youtube at the time of this episode's release.
