What are Hopping Ghosts?… Known in Chinese folklore, hopping ghosts or hopping vampires are a breed of zombie-reanimated corpses. Rigor mortis has set in so they can only move by hopping with their arms outstretched! They can�t see-but sense living creatures by their breath and seek to absorb their life force. They can be stopped with a scroll to the forehead containing a spell written in a mix of ink and blood, and led by Taoist priests using bells. Some of the streets of Chinatown in NYC are said to have been intentionally designed crooked to deter Hopping Ghost attacks; making it difficult for them to navigate through them. The mythology even inspired a string of fantastic Hong Kong films in the 1980s, most notably the ”Mr. Vampire” series starring Lam-Ching Ying, (often referred to as the ”Peter Cushing of Asia”). In an effort to achieve true authenticity, the spell found on the scroll accessory of the Osaka Popstar ”Hopping Ghosts” vinyl figures was written by an actual Taoist priest residing in Hong Kong.
