From the director of the original Godzilla comes the only feature-length adaptation of William Hope Hodgson’s legendary tale of fungal horror! Released in 1963, in the midst of Ishiro Honda’s early run of kaiju features, Matango (aka Fungus of Terror, aka Attack of the Mushroom People) combines tokusatsu rubber suit action with classic-style weird fiction to prove that they’re two great tastes that taste great together! Join the hosts of the Horror Pod Class for a FREE screening of the movie so good that Orrin edited an entire book because of it, then stick around afterward as they discuss fungal horror, weird fiction, Gilligan’s Island, and much more! Plus, your chance to win some prizes that are sure to grow on you…
