An old man of the village tells kinky ghost stories to a few of it's inhabitants after all the kids have gone to bed. What follows are stories that have horror elements and some soft-core nudity thrown in. Soft-core porn Director Li Han-Hsiang is in familiar territory here with mixing period piece sets with a sex hungry succubus and various other typical ghostly incarnations.Although many Shaw Brothers horror films have a very creepy set pieces, this one sadly lacks in that department. Fans of Taiwanese sex-symbol Chin Hu, or Shirley Yu may want to give this one a spin.Typically Shaw Brothers were churning out films like this at a prodigious pace and I found Director's other film RETURN OF THE DEAD from the same year, a much more effective horror story.
