Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

This shamelessly rips off the jiangshi (hopping vampire) craze sparked by 1985's Mr. Vampire, but with zero budget and maximum audacity.

Trivia

Sek Kin, who plays the Taoist priest here, was famous as the villain in countless Bruce Lee films—now he's fighting rubber monsters for grocery money.
