As a very young child, I talked my mom into taking me to see Infra-Man in theaters.
It would be funny to find out years later that the film that inspired my appreciation for Japanese #tokusatsu and #kaiju cinema was in fact NOT from Japan, but instead a #ShawBrothers production from Hong Kong.

Every once in a while, I rewatch some #ShawBrothers from my library & get inspired to draw something other than the book I'm slowly chipping away at. The most recent was the Deadly Breaking Sword featuring my 2nd fav' actor from the Shaw stable, Ti Lung.

This set has some choice Venom Mob films and that's what's first up tonight.
Been something like 25 years since I've seen this, so I'm really happy to have this right now.

The Bride from Hell (1972) is a Shaw Brothers movie from the period when they were making tentative forays into horror.
A young woman is manipulated into marriage, but his bride may be a ghost. Whether she knows she's a ghost is another matter.
It's a bit of a mess but has its spooky moments. Worth seeing as an early example of Hong Kong horror.
