Tales from the Dark 1 (李碧華鬼魅系列: 迷離夜) is a 2013 Hong Kong portmanteau horror film directed by Simon Yam, Lee Chi-ngai, and Fruit Chan.

The second part, titled A Word in the Palm (放手), starred Tony Leung Ka-fai as a fortune-teller who teams up with his neighbour (Kelly Chen) to help the ghost of a schoolgirl (Cherry Ngan).

The final part, titled Jing Zhe (驚蟄), starred Susan Shaw as a "villain-hitter" who is approached by a woman (Dada Chan) to curse four people.

Chu is a "villain-hitter" who chants curses and hits paper effigies of people for a fee during the jing zhe period.

She meets all sorts of customers, including a wealthy woman who has a grudge against her daughter-in-law and others, and a man with a similar-sounding name as the Hong Kong Chief Executive's.
