Anybody know of a really good Kung-Fu Horror flick to show your friends who're SORT OF interested in Kung-Fu movies?
I was thinking about Mr. Vampire or Dreadnaught...
What would you guys recommend?

Mr. vampire and spiritual kung fu are two good ones dreadnaught is not a kung fu horror film.
What do you think about stuff like Spooky Encounters and Holy Virgin vs. The Evil Dead?

Check out Boxer's Omen. Wang Lung Wei has an awesome fight with Bolo, and that is it for fights. It turns into a weird black magic movie. definitely one of my favorite Shaw movies. Phillip Ko vomits up a huge live eel into his sink. crazy movie. Also check out Seventh Curse with Chin Siu Hou and D!ck Wei. THey are not scary horror movies, but a hell of a lot of fun.
"For someone who's a Shaolin monk, your kung fu's really lousy!"
"What, you're dead? You die easy!"
"Hold on now. I said I would forget your doings, but I didn't promise to spare your life. Take his head."
“I don’t usually smoke this brand, but I’ll do it for you.”
"When all this is over, Tan Hai Chi, I will kick your head off and put it on my brother's grave!
"I regard hardships as part of my training. I don't need to relax."
What Jethro said.
Also, there is Sammo Hung's The Dead and the Deadly. And the above-mentioned Mr. Vampire, and Encounter of the Spooky Kind (a.k.a., Spooky Encounters). Maybe better than all of these in terms of kung fu horror is Human Lanterns (or Human Skin Lanterns). There was also an old Shaw Brothers/Hammer Films co-production called Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires starring David Chiang and Peter Cushing. It's about Van Helsing tracking Count Dracula to China...odd but interesting if you can find it.
None of these movies are really scary, but are fun to watch.
In the early '80s, Shaw Brothers studios made some horror films that I can't remember the titles to, but were a tiny bit creepy, certainly more so than the films I mentioned. All I remember is one starred Lily Li...it was a period piece, but had to kung fu that I recall. Sorry I couldn't help with this one.
Mentioned it in the other movie thread. Human Skin Lanterns!!
Must See for Horror Fans.

I can't believe I haven't seen Human LAnterns. That movie sounds awesome. I think Sun Chung directed it, one of my favorite directors.
One Shaws horror movie to star far away from is Black Magic. God I hated that. I heard Black Magic 2 is a lot better.
