Description of Pictures: House (1977)
Special Features: Presented by horror host Dr. Sarcofiguy.
40th Anniversary
How to describe Nobuhiko Ôbayashi's 1977 movie? A psychedelic ghost tale? A stream-of-consciousness bedtime story? SCOOBY-DOO as directed by Dario Argento? Any of the above will do for this hallucinatory head-trip about a schoolgirl who travels to her ailing aunt's creaky country home and comes face to face with evil spirits, bloodthirsty pianos and a demonic housecat. Too absurd to be genuinely terrifying, too nightmarish to be merely comic, the director fashioned the script after the eccentric musings of his 11-year-old daughter, then employed all the tricks in his arsenal (mattes, animation and collage) to make them a visually astonishing reality. (Note courtesy of Janus Films.) DIR/PROD Nobuhiko Ôbayashi; SCR Chiho Katsura, from a story by Chigumi Ôbayashi; PROD Tomoyuki Tanaka, Yorihiko Yamada. Japan, 1977, color, 88 min. In Japanese with English subtitles. NOT RATED

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
