Plot: According to the predictions of a geomancer, the time has come to re-bury the father of a rich merchant. A local priest of Chinese black magic is called in to officiate. When the priest sees that the 20 year-old corpse has not decomposed, he knows there's going to be trouble. That night, while in the mortuary awaiting reburial, the corpse rises from the coffin to claim its first victim -- its own son. Cosmic chaos complicated by supernatural love affairs, terrestrial jealousies and ghostly struggles for hearts, minds...and bodies!An undertaker notices that one of his corpses, instead of staying dead, is turning into a vampire. One of the undertaker's two bumbling assistants gets bitten, while the other falls in love with a beautiful ghost. Can one man stop the madness and put the dead back into the ground? The first of a popular comedy/horror series featuring the Chinese version of a movie vampire, a more corpselike creature than his western counterpart that sports long purple fingernails and yellow fangs and, when not levitating, hops like a bunny. A Hong Kong horror classic. An Eastern response to Ghostbusters (which spawned many imitations and parodies), Mr. Vampire uses Oriental culture as the springboard for a unique, creepily amusing vampire mythos.
