Painted Skin (Chinese: 畫皮之陰陽法王) is a 1992 Hong Kong supernatural horror film starring Adam Cheng, Joey Wong, Sammo Hung, Lam Ching Ying, and Wu Ma.

A scholar encounters a beautiful maiden in an alley on his way home and leads her to his house, where he tries to marry her as a concubine.

By chance, his wife and he discover that she is in fact a ghost, who must "paint" and graft a facial skin mask over her face to look human.

However, it appears that the ghost is benign – she merely wants to escape the clutches of an evil Yin-Yang King, a faceless, powerful spirit-king who shuttles at ease between the mortal world and the spirit, and who seems to be controlling the destinies of some recently deceased souls.

The priests finally discover and convince the Taoist Master, who decides to destroy the evil spirit-king so as to guide the ghost back to Hades.
