Collection of four Hong Kong comedy horror sequels to 'Mr Vampire' (1985). In 'Mr Vampire II' (1986) archaeologist Professor Kwok (Chung Fat) and his two students stumble across three vampires slumbering in a cave. When the talismans immobilising them are removed, the vampires are unleashed, and it's up to supernatural expert Dr. Lam (Lam Ching-Ying), his daughter Gigi (Moon Lee) and future son-in-law Yen (Yuen Biao) to stop them before it's too late. 'Mr Vampire III' (1987) sees inept Taoist priest Uncle Ming (Richard Ng) join forces with expert Uncle Nine (Ching-Ying) to take down a powerful sorceress known as Devil Lady (Pauline Wong). In 'Mr Vampire IV' (1988) neighbours Four-Eyed Taoist (Anthony Chan) and Buddhist monk Master Yat-yau (Wu Ma) have long been at odds with each other but when a convoy of soldiers pass by escorting a coffin containing a vampire, their priorities change. During a thunderstorm, the vampire escapes and infects the soldiers, so the two men must work together to defeat the threat. Finally, in 'Vampire Vs Vampire' (1989) One-Eyebrow Priest (Ching-Ying) discovers a European vampire immune to his usual methods and must learn how to combat this new enemy.
