Ghouls Gone Wild Limited Edition Blu-ray collects three standout Hong Kong and Taiwanese horror titles from the 1980s genre boom in a UK import Eureka Classics release. Featuring Scared Stiff, The Haunted Cop Shop and Magic of Spell, the set showcases the wild range of Chinese-language horror cinema, mixing supernatural comedy, police-station chaos, dream logic, martial arts fantasy and ghostly mayhem.

FILMS INCLUDED

Scared Stiff (1987)

After an accident gives an ordinary man the ability to enter other people’s dreams, he finds himself using this strange gift to help bring a dangerous criminal to justice. Directed by Lau Kar-wing, the film blends comedy, suspense and supernatural horror.

The Haunted Cop Shop (1987)

Co-written by Wong Kar-wai, The Haunted Cop Shop traps cops and crooks alike inside a police station built on a site with a dark past, where they are forced to confront vengeful supernatural forces.

Magic of Spell (1988)

A supernatural wuxia fantasy in which a kung fu master must confront the infernal demon responsible for his mother’s death. Filled with fantasy action and strange horror imagery, the film sits alongside the wildest Hong Kong genre hybrids of the era.

Ranging from broad comedy to straight-faced terror, Ghouls Gone Wild captures the energy and inventiveness of 1980s Hong Kong and Taiwanese horror. This limited edition UK Blu-ray set includes new 2K restorations, two cuts of Scared Stiff, newly translated subtitles, commentaries, a new interview, collector’s booklet and limited O-card packaging.
