The Mother Tree

Here's another Shintoho horror movie for you. The Mother Tree aka Kaidan Chibusa Enoki. A Samurai lusts after a woman and murders her artist husband, wet nurse, and family servant in order to try to force her to be with him. But the ghosts of his victims come back to drive him mad. The ghosts also show the woman a tree leaking milk or something that her baby can suckle since she can't breast feed him herself. I particularly like the part where the dying bleeding husband falls into a creek full of snakes. I'm not sure if that gave his ghost extra haunting power but aside from ghost cat ladies, I've noticed another theme of ghosts rising from ponds.
