You could try it DCD but make sure you use pure sticky rice, if they mix it with regular rice it won't work and then you'll have to spend oodles of time sorting out the grains.

Vampires & a ghost are set loose during the relocation of a grave. They wreak havoc throughout the village and only Master Gau can save the people from their wrath. That's it, 'nuff said.
Here are some things you may find useful if you ever find yourself stranded in a haunted, vampire infested village in China.
[Image]When a ghost gets agitated the hair will stand on end like major static cling and half of their face looks like raw hamburger. Run, there is no reasoning with them when in this state. Also note that the head may detach and fly after you so a tennis racket might be handy.
[Image]Chinese vampires cannot walk, talk or run. They hop. Holding your breath will prevent them from finding you. You can control them with a yellow paper that has writing on it, a candle and a jingly bell.
[Image]The older the vampire is, the uglier it gets. I believe this has to do with how long it is allowed to lay still and develop. [Image]Never let the light go out. When the light shines bright they don't walk at night. All you need to get rid of a vampire is some wire, that yellow paper I mentioned and lots & lots of sticky rice.
If you are a fan of old school Jackie Chan style movies as well as horror then I know you will love this just as much as I did. Lots of fighting with prop usage, slapstick type humor and hopping vampires. This film was a delight.

I think its interesting when being a vampire has no real advantages.

say, does anyone remember in 2010, when jupiter turned into a mini sun? do you think that meant the end of vampires?

There's just too many good lines in this review to pick one.
Hopping vampires, sticky rice, jingly bells and kung-fu. Perfect.

Catfreee, I continue to be impressed by your unusual choices this year, bravo!

Total riot! I'm so relieved to have all this good information - do you think this only works on Chinese vampires?
