The Kwaidan 4K Restoration from Janus Films is coming to theaters Sept 11th. Kwaidan is known as the classic ghost story anthology movie from Japan. It may not scare on the same level being from the 1960's, but like any good ghost story the dread and fear it casts are suppose to stay with you. And, the justified 4K restoration is because it supposed be a damn good looking horror film.

Halloween starts the earliest at Disney once again this year, starting this weekend.
