You could very easily argue that a movie like Matango (given the English title Attack of the Mushroom People back in the day) can’t be part of the “new” Creature Canon because it was part of the old one: although never receiving the international popularity of Toho’s kaiju movies, it’s had a following for decades. I know I’ve been reading about this movie for years before actually sitting down and watching it. So maybe this one is a little more well-known then what I usually cover for this, but I see nothing wrong with exploring some of the classics every once in a while.
