"Shaw Brothers Put Down Their Chopsticks And Bring Out Some Horror "
Corpse Mania (1981)
Director: Kuei Chih-Hung
Synopsis:
A startling tale of a necrophilia serial murderer courtesan corpse, "Corpse Mania" could be called "outrageous" and "amazing", but never "politically correct"! Be warned: you may regret it, but you'll never forget it.

Ghost Lovers (1974)
Director: Shin Sang-Okk
Synopsis:
A woman reaches out from the other world to marry the man she loves in this spine-chilling tale of love transcending the boundaries of death. Sung Lien-hua (Li Ching) is determined to marry Han Shih-lung (Lin Wei-tu) – dead or alive. It isn’t until later that Han begins to suspect that his new wife is actually dead – and she is quite determined to consummate their marriage! Korean director Shin Sang-okk ranks as one of the few directors guaranteed to scare the socks off viewers. .

Haunted Tales (1980)
Director: Chu Yuan, Mou Tun-Fei
Synopsis:
Hong Kong has its own, unique, horror anthologies, and this was one of the most eerie. Exploitation expert Mou Tun-Fei ("Men Behind The Sun") helms the first story, of a nasty lottery winner whose greed leads him to a grim fate, while acclaimed director Chu Yuan ("Heaven Sword And Dragon Sabre") handles a newlywed bride's haunted house terrors in the second story. Between the two, audiences got a masterful double serving of the macabre which still has the power to raise gooseflesh more than twenty years later.

Really looking forward to these, the Kuei Chih-Hung and Mou Tun-Fei ones have gotta be essential views for every asian horror and sleaze fans.
