5 favorite jiang shi films (mwhahaha)

(mwhahaha) tis the season for scary shit and jiang shi (chinese vampires) films are by far my favorite type o scary (and funny) movie.

a lil background: (jiang shi are more like zombies than western vampires. due to rigor mortis, they hop or fly around in order to move. they usually appear dressed in qing dynasty garb, and are combated by a taoist priest (generally played by yam ching-ying) who puts them to sleep by placing spells written on pieces of yellow paper on their foreheads. other things used to fight them include: male virgins, sticky rice, chicken eggs, dog blood, and lots of sammo hung action.)

*full versions of most of these (yes, subtitled) are available on youtube...

1. the dead and the deadly (1983)

2. encounters of the spooky kind (1980)

3. ultimate vampire (1991)

4. exorcist master (1993)
5. mr. vampire (1985)


(mwhahaha)

...it with be funny...

a flavorite piece from my personal collection. kids, as much as some of them get on my goddamn nerves, are top ranked in my book for their creative output. this is an absolutely taser factory example. a brilliant tale of halloween excitement and adventure, epically illustrated (probably) on the reverse side, by an unknown artist / writer / score-keeper. my friend molly gave this to me years ago as a birthday present. it is definitely with be funny!
