fcgamer | 5,017 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Last Sunday ushered in my favourite time of year, Ghost Month! The cooler temperatures in the morning and evening offer a respite from the harsh summer temperatures. The smell of incense creeping across the street, and the hustle and bustle at the temples, as the gates of hell are cast open for a whole month. Neglected spirits wander the streets, some nefarious in nature, others pitiful, looking for a host body, love, or just to get out of the realm between worlds. Superstitions are at large, and the atmosphere us incredible, essentially a month long Halloween, though so much better. I'm definitely going to be rolling in the festivities with some ghost games, such as Phantom Fighter and Hungry Ghost Night. I'll also try to watch quite a few Asian hottie films, including the Mr Vampire series, as well as some Taiwanense specialties. Ghost month is here, and this is the thread to discuss all related things 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcgamer | 5,017 Posted August 18 Author Share Posted August 18 It's that time of year again! Tonight is the main night, the grandmas and grandpas are all downstairs out in front of the housing unit with their table set up, burning joss money and incense, whilst sacrificing fruit, sodas, crackers, etc. to the forlorn and forgotten spirits. As luck would have it, for those wanting to play a video game related to Ghost Month, ITG-Soft's Hungry Ghost Night game series might scratch that itch. And you guys are in luck, after five years of being a Famicom exclusive, a NES version was released just this week. Even better, it contains a magical talisman paper to ward away evil spirits.

The concert is great, with definitive recorded versions of Dance Macabre, Mummy Dust, etc. The between-song skit stuff is throwaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I was hoping it to be a crazy demonic musical of sorts. I guess it kinda is in that sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
