Sammo Hung plays Courageous Cheung, a cuckolded husband who faces a series of supernatural challenges from his wife`s wealthy lover. First, Cheung must survive a night in a house haunted by a bloodthirsty vampire. From there, things just get worse--and more comical. For those unfamiliar with the Chinese horror genre, the film is a Mr. Toad`s Wild Ride through the supernatural mythology and folklore of China: Hopping corpses, supernatural possession by a monkey god, the gratuitous sacrifice of a chicken, and lots of chanting by Taoist priests will all seem pretty trippy. For Chinese viewers in the early 1980s, the film was unusual in other ways: Director Sammo Hung mixed comedy, martial arts, and supernatural horror into this bouillabaise of a film, establishing the genre of kung-fu horror comedy. Several films in the genre followed, including the popular MR. VAMPIRE series and many films with the word spooky in their titles, including Hung`s SPOOKY, SPOOKY and ENCOUNTERS OF THE SPOOKY KIND 2, a sequel in name only.
