31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2022
Matango (1963)
A Japanese horror/monster movie involving a shipwreck on an island of radioactively mutated mushrooms which transform those who have eaten them into walking mushrooms. In many ways, it is a bleak movie, even with the somewhat goofy man-in-rubber-suit body horror/monsters, and it does have a certain charm which I like about many of the Japanese monster movies of the time.
The director, Ishiro Honda, is also known for directing another Japanese Kaiju movie known as "Godzilla". I'm sure there's a connection between Mushrooms and Mushroom Clouds that I'm just not smart enough to make...
