Colorful and kinetic with scenes that blur the lines between horror, martial arts, and slapstick comedy, jiāngshī (Chinese “hopping vampire”) movies are a fun and fascinating alternative to Western tales of the living dead. Music Box of Horrors brings you a double feature of two equally essential sequels to the jiāngshī classic Mr. Vampire, bringing the action to Hong Kong circa 1986 as an undead family wreaks havoc in Mr. Vampire 2 before returning to China’s mythic past for the haunted threequel Mr. Vampire 3. Featuring Hong Kong cinema heavyweights like Sammo Hung, Moon Lee, Yuen Biao, and Lam Ching-Ying in his iconic role as a demon-busting Taoist priest, this will be a night to remember—so hop on those tickets!
