I found this at Wonder Festival the other day for a whopping 300 yen. Everything about it screams "pachimono," from the fact it's a cheap paper doll to the suspiciously un-named monsters (which are being called "obake" here - yokai! - to further obscure the connection). They even cheaped out on the color!
They appear to be ancestors of the Glow Ghouls I found a few years back. A whole boatload of stuff like this was produced during the "occult boom" of the late Seventies and early Eighties.
