Episode 452: Horrors of Malformed Men (1969)

About this episode

Our appreciation of 1969 continues with a look at Teruo Ishii’s Horrors of Malformed Men. Based on the writings of Edogawa Ranpo, the movie tells the tale of Hirosuke Hitomi played by Teruo Yoshida. When we first see him, he’s locked up in an insane asylum. And things only go downhill from there…

Ben Buckingham and Jess Byard join Mike to delve into the ero-guro.
