Some of the monsters come from the Yokai Monsters film series (Spook Warfare, 100 Monsters, and Along with Ghosts) if I remember correctly.

The floating spectre guy in white with long black hair, top center, is so cool. I always liked that one toy I saw of him as well (I think it came in a set). Anyone know his name?

Its a poster for one of the movies in the series above. I believe there was 3 total.
They are available on DVD here in the US, cheap too.

And don't get your hopes up too high (they are definitely aimed at the kiddies).

Rokurokubi is her name. I like her so much that I bought this artwork of her:

And pickle, you would like these movies even if they are "for kids" totally great. Check them out if you can.

Ditto banshee, I believe it is this yokai:

幽霊 (Yuurei)
Ghost

Reikon is the Shinto term for soul, which all people have, that joins
the souls of its ancestors when a person dies. But when a person dies in
an unfortunate way or is not given proper burial, the Reikon may become
a wandering ghost, called a Yuurei.
Female Yuurei are the norm (yet some males may transform into
a Yuurei). A Yuurei normally appears as a beautiful young woman, with
long flowing hair. No legs and lame hands. They are dressed in
ceremonial clothes for the dead, which is a katabira (white kimono) and a
hitakakushi (which is a triangular piece of paper), which is put on the
forehead of a dead person and allows the reikon to reunite with its
ancestors.
