415: Halloween 2025 - Mr. Vampire (1985)

BoooOOOOOooo! Welcome to pcmc Halloween 2025! Spooky season is the most precious time of year for the pcmc brood, and we come to you all month long with our scare-tacular Halloween specials. Today we travel to Hong Kong in 1985 to hop onto the hopping vampire craze! See what I did there? Today's film is Mr. Vampire — a slapstick comedy, martial arts, horror film! This movie modernized the mythology of Jiangshi (hopping vampires) for a new audience and set off a craze for similar movies. This movie is fun as hell, and we recommend you check it out, but even if you haven't seen it, you can still listen to this episode. Come back next week for more spooky fun!find us everywhere @PCMCpod
