Only we couldn\u2019t afford a trip to Napal, so we had to settle for John Caradine telling us all about how they found one in Nagano Japan! Join Mary, Nic, and Juan as we check out \u201cHalf Human\u201d (original Japanese title: \u201cJ\u016bjin Yuki Otoko\u201d meaning \u2018Beast\/Forest Man, Snow Man\u201d. In typical 1950s fashion, when it was released in the US, they stuck some American actors into cut scenes and built the story around them. In this case John Caradine narrates the whole film as a flashback as told to him by a Japanese colleague. Get ready for a whole lot of walking around in the woods and a monster covered all over with fur, but still somehow suffering from male pattern baldness! The B-Movie cast crew did a double header on this one, checking out the original Japanese version from 1955 and the American release from 1957. So, grab your skis and get ready for some fun with \u201cHalf Human\u201d on the B-Movie Cast!","author_name":"B-Movie Cast","author_url":"http:\/\/bmoviecast.com","html":"
