Coffee Watch must be having a field day with this one

A corpse must be buried in the family plot in one's hometown, Lam Chingying is a Taoist priest who keeps the corpses under control til he gets them back there. A corpse cowboy, if you will.

Everything I know about what happens to us after we die, I know from Mr Vampire

#MonsterMiru #Monsterdon

Thanks @ryan so much for one of my all time faves!

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

okay now THIS is an epic vampire death scene

"Come suck out the vampire's breath"

:yikes:

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru

The soundtrack to this Jiangshi battle kinda slaps

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

Long grain rice in our glutinous rice???

This is a case for... Trading Standards!

Uncle Gau and the no-good very bad day

Women in my life have also been repelled by the spell written on my chest in chicken blood

#Monsterdon #MOnsterMiru

Y'know an explanation of Chinese ghost lore wouldn't hurt here

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

Our ghost definitely didn't go to all that trouble of setting up a fake molestation to get a lecture on virtue

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

In broad day-for-night-light

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

ghostly romantic interlude incoming

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru

It's official: Uncle Ben's won't save you in the goengsi apocalypse.

Just waiting for a kung fu fight to break out

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

A long pinky nail was a status symbol for Chinese intellectuals, showing they didn't need their hands for manual labour of peasants or soldiers

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru

We have fingerprints, they have fingernail length

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

Aww, a teddy snake!

@diazona

But she's corporeal

[BONK]

#MonsterMiru #Monsterdon

I mean, lying in a coffin, sure, but, like, is he cursing his bad luck to have these two knuckleheads messing around with it

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

@Terencio I'm not sure it would have made that much difference if you stayed

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

@ohiofi 😂

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

@diazona

It's the magic of the vertical burial.

Perfectly preserved after 20 years in a coffin, huh

not at all suspicious

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

Lam Chingying is a Taoist priest, basically saying "those Buddhists! What a bodge job they did!"

#MonsterMiru #Monsterdon #MrVampire

@Terencio

Slaps

#MonsterMiru #Monsterdon

@klu9 I get not knowing how to drink coffee, but they were also confused about those pastries, which are common enough at Chinese restaurants (although I suppose nowadays, so is coffee)

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

Unclear if any of these characters have eaten before

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

Thirsty!

#monsterdondoublefeature #monsterdon

@SnoopJ yes so much

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

@brooke nooooo

but you're not (much) too late to join in for Mr. Vampire on @miru if you like

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

@combatwombat ooooh good find, thanks, now this makes so much more sense

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

Goengsi (Cantonese) /Jiangshi (Mandarin)

#MonsterMiru #Monsterdon

@combatwombat

TIL the word "asemic".... and why I could never make out what was written in those spells 😄

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

And thanks @ryan for sharing that great encode. I've seen the film so many times in VHS/VCD quality, it was a delight seeing it in such high quality!

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigor_Mortis_(film)

#Monsterdon #Monstermiru

If you'd like more goengsi action, watch Sammo Hung's precursor "Encounters of the Spooky Kind", or the homage "Rigor Mortis" where half of tonight's cast appear, 27 years older. (That one's serious, not comedy)

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru

@strangefour We do get end credits though, I'll give it that

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

@diazona

You have much to learn in the ways of goengsi science, grasshopper

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru

I feel like mind-controlling a vampire army should be a little more effective than rice, but what do I know

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

@Terencio 😂 true

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

The longer the fangs the more they get hurt by glutinous rice

#VampireScience

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

what about a vampire fly

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

mind masers

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

@strangefour I can see where there would be some trust issues though

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

@Terencio yeah seriously

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

Careful, don't lose your head

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

Ah now Man Choi is a guy who knows how to maximize being a vampire

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

@klu9 😂

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

Baby, it's cold outside

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru

@Terencio yeah seriously

although maybe that's more of a modern thing

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

@SnoopJ whew

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

@strangefour

Just sub-plot

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru

Oh hey the ghost is back!

And she's visible now...?

idk I'm just rolling with it

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

@klu9 @Terencio lol yeah me too

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

@diazona @Terencio

Now I want fried rice cakes

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru

@Terencio product placement FTW

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

Now that's a licking stick!

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru

"Hard is stiff, stiff is hard"

huh

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

@forestine

I keep trying to get the modern day one (Magic Cop) but without success

There's one on the Internet Archive but the subs are so bad I gave up after 20 minutes

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru

there are i think five of these. all unrelated plots but all have the unibrow monk. my favourite is the third one. #Monsterdon #monsterdonDoubleFeature

...one might say it was lit

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

I think this one didn't hop because he hadn't been thru any of the funerary process yet

#MOnsterMiru #Monsterdon

@strangefour seems appropriate in this movie TBH

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

Our vampire aged like 50 years in the few hours between when he was exhumed and when he broke out of the coffin

...maybe there's a common thread here

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

Licking each others' hands is indeed a major relationship milestone

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

Ting-ting says: "Hey, slapping's MY job!"

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru

"Female ghost looking for a lover"

hey didn't we just see that one (kinda)

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

If you light enough joss sticks, they can make a good impromptu bicycle lamp

#MonsterMiru #Monsterdon

@Terencio

Rich guy suspects his bad luck is due to his dead father having an improper burial

Taoist priest death consultant exhumes dead dad, says "you're right" and prepares for a proper reburial

But dead dad isn't decomposed...

#MonsterMiru #Monsterdon

I wonder what the vampire is doing now

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

@klu9 huh TIL

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

@diazona

Common *now*

They got them from the Portuguese in Macau

#Monsterdon #MonsterMiru

@SnoopJ Ah true, I forgot that she knew what she was doing

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

@diazona

They haven't eaten Western-style before

#MonsterMiru #Monsterdon #MrVampire

@strangefour @trixter hah clever

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

what a hell of an opening, this movie is so much more fun already. a lovely palate cleanser indeed

I don't know what's going on but I'm already more interested

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #MonsterMiru #MrVampire

Sammo produced! How did I miss that all the previous times I watched???

#MonsterMiru #Monsterdon

Mr Vampire! YES YES YES YES!
