Encounters of the Spooky Kind (1980)


AKA: Spooky Encounters
Sammo Hung directs and stars in this hilariously cheesy Hong Kong horror film in the vein of Evil Dead II and House (although it predates both by several years). Sammo is dared to spend the night in an abandoned house in the woods where ghouls are conjured up nightly by an evil magician. Manages to combine slapstick humor, horror and martial arts all at once. The ending image always has me squealing with laughter, every time.
