Shintoho
To compete with the other major studios in the horror/supernatural movie field, Shintoho turned out a large group of such films between 1957 and 1960, including a number of period ghost movies and low-budget science fiction films (such as the "Starman" ("Super Giant") series which was designed to compete with rival then-popular characters "Planet Prince", "Space Chief" and "Moonlight Mask"). Shintoho declared bankruptcy in 1961, its last production being "Jigoku".
