When I spoke with Antony De Fault (Hellraiser: Revival's Narrative Director), he described the enemies as "absolutely sick fuck people! You have to make the worst possible enemies so that whatever you do to them is basically justified."

Predating the breakthrough success of Ricky Lau’s Mr. Vampire (1985), Sammo Hung's ENCOUNTER OF THE SPOOKY KIND (1980) combined jiangshi “Chinese hopping vampire” folklore with kung fu to humorous effect, resulting in one of the earliest examples of horror-comedy in Hong Kong cinema.

As the progenitor of the “jiangshi” kung fu subgenre, Encounter of the Spooky Kind (aka Gui da gui, which literally means Ghost Fights Ghost) helped to shape the cinematic visual style of the Chinese vampire boom that followed, including Lam Ching-Ying’s Vampire vs. Vampire (1989) and Ricky Lau’s Mr. Vampire II (1986). In many Chinese legends, the jiangshi is depicted as a hopping reanimated corpse, arms outstretched, and dressed in traditional changshan garments from the Qing dynasty. This is also true of Sammo Hung’s Encounter of the Spooky Kind; the costume and set design encapsulating the Great Qing period.

With the new blu-ray release of Guyver: Dark Hero (and given that I haven’t promoted it in a while), may I point you in the direction of my (now) three-year-old book on the making of both Guyver films? It’s not perfect, but it’s mine and I learnt a lot from this project!

You should hire me so I can continue to wax lyrical about skull-rattling DIY punk and drop unnecessary references to BLADE (1998) 🩸

Emerging from the shadows of East London to resurrect their psych-twinged, self-described “disgusting rock,” Saint Agnes have developed “this terrible thirst” for confrontation following the release of their 2021 horror-chic EP, Vampire. Seeking to empower “the defeated, the crushed” – and yet, the ones who won’t remain dead – the disquiet quartet’s sophomore LP mutation is an emotionally charged, skull-rattling hybrid of grunge, punk and industrial metal. Bloodsuckers is one part Dracula and one part Frankenstein’s monster; an infectious do-it-yourself scorcher for the daywalkers who refuse to burn and a defiant fuck you to the true bloodsucker, motherfuckers!

For @starburst.bsky.social #492, I explore why HAUSU (1977) - Nobuhiko Obayashi's kaleidoscopic collision between Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead (1981) and Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! (1969-1970) - is more art-house (or art-hausu?) than haunted house horror!
