Crest of Betrayal, known in Japan as Chūshingura Gaiden: Yotsuya Kaidan (Japanese: 忠臣蔵外伝 四谷怪談; "The Treasury of Loyal Retainers Side Story: Yotsuya Ghost Story"), is a 1994 Japanese film directed by Kinji Fukasaku. Written by Motomu Furuta and Fukasaku, it combines two enduring Japanese legends; Chūshingura, which tells the story of the historical forty-seven rōnin, and Yotsuya Kaidan, a ghost story about a beautiful woman who falls victim to passion and evil.
