Description

Attack of the Mushroom People (Toho, 1963). Japanese STB (20" X 58").
Few films have been overlooked as badly as this absolute gem of a horror/science fiction/fantasy film by Toho legend Ishiro Honda (Godzilla series /Rodan / Ghidrah). Matango was the original title, but it is known here generally by its American television release title, Attack of the Mushroom People (it was never released theatrically here). It is an exceptionally well written, acted, and directed piece of fantastique cinema, and posters of country-of-origin, as is this Japanese STB, are amazingly difficult to obtain. Fortunately a new special edition DVD is busily confirming the film's rightful place. There are several small tape stains in the the lower half and a stain in the bottom left. There is a tear in the lower right corner extending into the art, small surface paper loss on the front and reverse, and some minor surface creasing. Folded, Fine/Very Fine.
