Kung Fu Horror on Blu-ray

Kung Fu Horror is a uniquely Hong Kong genre fusion - martial arts action blended with supernatural scares, folklore and slapstick comedy. This collection centres on the "hopping vampire" (jiangshi) craze kicked off by Mr. Vampire, with Lam Ching Ying and Ricky Lau appearing repeatedly, alongside Tsui Hark-produced fantasy A Chinese Ghost Story.

For more in this vein, see our closely related Jiangshi Horror and Vampire Horror collections.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a "jiangshi" or "hopping vampire" film?

Jiangshi are reanimated corpses from Chinese folklore, traditionally depicted as moving by hopping with arms outstretched. Mr. Vampire popularised this as a horror-comedy subgenre blending Taoist exorcism, martial arts and slapstick.

How is this different from your Jiangshi Horror and Vampire Horror collections?

This collection focuses specifically on the martial-arts-driven side of the genre - films where kung fu action is as central as the supernatural horror elements. Our Jiangshi Horror and Vampire Horror collections cover overlapping and related titles from a slightly different angle.

Which actor appears most in this collection?

Lam Ching Ying, best known as the definitive Taoist priest of the genre, appears in three titles here.

Are these region-free with English subtitles?

Yes, these are region-free Blu-rays from specialist Hong Kong cinema labels, with English subtitles included.

Where should I start?

Mr. Vampire is the essential starting point - the film that defined the entire genre.
