Haha!

Have you seen any of the Mr. Vampire series, Carl? The first one is essential viewing.

Havent seen any of of them yet but with a title like that.. only a matter of realizing it exists. I grabbed the 100 Years of Horror series today, its got over 11hrs on it so it should be awesomeness with Christopher Lee presenting.

...do you dare tread upon the staircase?
