Yōkai Monsters: 100 Monsters (1968)

A greedy, villainous magistrate who disrespects a small village Shrine doesn't count on the Yōkai actually being present in it.
For at least two-thirds of the running time the second film in the trilogy attempts a serious Jidaigeki with a supernatural element in the fringes, surfacing occasionally, and it does it really well; I suspect access to Daei’s existing sets was a huge help in that regard.
There’s a story within a story segment that aids in setting a mood and keeps the eeriness in mind before the big reveal. When the haunting side of things is eventually elevated to centre stage it doesn't skimp.
