Which makes sense. Horror is a genre predicated on confronting taboo subjects. Including, of course, the greatest taboo of all: the fact that we\u2019re all going to die someday. Such confrontations are rarely undertaken with kids in mind. So when a family-friendly horror film manages to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eal not just to kids but to adults as well, you know you have something special on your hands.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Mr. Vampire\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>is a Hong Kong action-horror comedy from 1985 about <em>jiangshi<\/em> (Chinese zombie-vampires).

Unlike most adults in horror media, who are defined by incompetence or cynicism, the characters in <em>Mr. Vampire\u00a0<\/em>always manage to find solutions when the going gets tough. While most horror is predicated on exploiting a sense of helplessness, even when things are gory, tense, or frightening, <em>Mr. Vampire <\/em>never loses hope in its own characters and it never wavers on its core message: death isn\u2019t evil, evil is evil.<\/p>\n<p>You can watch \u201c<strong>Mr. Vampire: How to Write Family Horror<\/strong>\u201d here:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KI2Zk0pPy4o?feature=oembed\" title=\"Mr. Vampire: How to Write Family Horror | Video Essay\" width=\"700\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_made_this\"><\/span>Who made this?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This video was created by <strong>Accented Cinema<\/strong>, a Canadian-based YouTube video essay series with a focus on foreign cinema.
