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?

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.

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.

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.

Human Lanterns hands down is the best kung fu horror flick. Sun Chung's movies are great.
Heads or Tails?
What about Kung-Fu from Beyond the Grave and Kung-Fu Zombie? I think these are both Billy Chong movies. I've never seen either of these.

Kung Fu Beyond the Grave is good, but not great. I liked Kung Fu ZOmbie more. THey are kung fu movies. Not really any horror in them.
Magic Cop is worth seeing. Tons of weird magic stuff going on.

Ghosts Galore was a strange combination of ghosts, wizards, Japanese ninja, and comedy. It starred Chin Siu Ho, Lo Lieh, and Hwang Jang Lee. Not scary at all, but it had some interesting effects for its time, esp. at the final showdown. It was certainly inspired by Encounter of the Spooky Kind (Spooky Encounters).
prime rib rocks hard!
chinese ghost story are always good. not really a kung fu flick, but BIO ZOMBIES by wilson yip is good.
