Hello everyone,

I am currently researching film adaptations of Edogawa Ranpo's works.
The films I know so far:
- S?seiji (Gemini) by Tsukamoto Shin'ya
- Horrors of malformed men by Ishii Teruo
- Blind Beast by Masumura Yasuz?
- Inj?/The beast in the shadows by Barbet Schroeder
- Caterpillar by Wakamatsu K?ji (although I haven't seen this one yet)

Can anyone provide me with other titles?

Apart from the films I have yet to find some relevant academic material 
(in either English, German or Japanese), dealing either with specific 
films in comparison to the source material or writings about Ranpo in 
general.
Another interesting aspect would be the influence, some of his stories 
apparently had on other works, such as the recent K-20 by Sat? Shimako 
or the anime series Meitantei Conan.
So, if anyone knows about articles concerning this kind of relation, 
please share your information.

Any help much appreciated.


Thanks,
Jan-Christoph Mueller
