Episode Description

Up next in Ghost Stories I am here to present Nobuhiko Obayashi’s 1977 “mind-boggling mixed-media spectacle”, House. Join me in a discussion of this Japanese classic that looks like horror on the surface but evades typical generic categorization. This is not so much of an attempt to analyze a film as absurdly surrealist as this one as it is a chat about the historical "why?" and "so what?". In this experimentation with the medium using a mixed-media approach, Obayashi captures the attention of a youthful audience thought to be lost to television in a spectacle that uses striking visuals on the surface and grapples with the intergenerational trauma that lies beneath.
