Things Getting ‘Spooky’ At Eureka With Sammo Hung’s Encounter Of A Spooky Kind
Sammo Hung’s ground-breaking blend of horror, comedy and kung-fu Getting A Blu-Ray Release
Things are getting ‘spooky’ at house Eureka Entertainment as they announce they are set to release Encounter Of The Spooky Kind via their Eureka Classics range. This June the unique ground-breaking action-horror 
comedy from legendary director Sammo Hung, presented on Blu-ray (a worldwide debut of this brand-new 2K restoration on home video) . The First Print Run of 2000 copies will feature a Limited-Edition O-card Slipcase, Collector’s Booklet and Reversible Poster.
A defining film in Hong Kong genre cinema, Encounter of the Spooky Kind blended kung fu, special effects, and Chinese folklore to invent a whole new sub-genre of Asian cinema, the Jiangshi film, which only a few years later would spawn the iconic and hugely successful Mr. Vampire.
Sammo Hung plays Courageous Cheung, a man well known in his local village for his lack of fear. His reputation is soon put to the test after he is tricked into spending the night in a temple full of spirits, zombies, and vampires!
Not content with delivering a bucket load of supernatural chills and thrills, Sammo also delivers some of the finest action choreography of his career.
Eureka Entertainment has created a new Trailer which you can watch below…
