Yes, I'm back, but only momentarily. I couldn't help but do a bit of work on my next projects while listening to live streams. This first post is one of those projects that I actually started a long time ago, but got put on hold because of my bigger projects such as the Bruce Lee one and then the IFD/ Filmark one. Since it was coming up towards Halloween I thought it'd be an idea to post it (and a few more smaller things) as it is kinda connected to the holiday.
But things are never that simple and at the same time as working on this plan, several people contacted me wanting some help with projects of their own or offering me some information that might be suitable for the HKMDB, and on top of that I also stumbled across some others things myself too, so one project wound up being about 6 or 7
So the first section I have is connected to vampire kids (or at least ghost kids), it's technically split into 4 segments the first being Cheng Tung-chuen's debut role as a vampire kid, kinda ironic considering how many times he'd play a vampire hunter in later films. The second section is all the boy actors in Spiritual Princeling (I already ID'd the only girl at an earlier date), and then two more boys that have played vamp kids (or at least faked it) and worked together in the vamp kid film Aloha Little Vampire Story [1989]
But they already have a joint page, so I'll add their updates (and something else too) their instead.Cheng Tung-chuen (NOT new credit, just new ID)

The Close Encounter Of The Vampire [1986]

Spiritual Princeling [1988]

None of these boys had been I'd yet in this particular film, some hadn't been ID'd yet at all, and some are new to the database altogether.
I split the Chang Tai-sheng page because the child actor clearly isn't the same person as the other credits as he'd be too young. I've kept him as #1 as I suspect that the still photographer might be yet another person to the production manager/planner so that might need splitting again.
