My Date with a Vampire is a 1998 Hong Kong television series produced by Asia Television (ATV). The series is a spiritual successor to Vampire Expert, a similar two-season television series aired on ATV in 1995 and 1996. It blends aspects of the "hopping" corpses of Chinese jiangshi fiction with those of European vampires, along with elements of Chinese mythology and modern horror legends. The series is also a tribute to Lam Ching-ying, the lead actor of Vampire Expert and a prominent cast member of the Mr. Vampire franchise, who died of liver cancer in 1997. It was followed by My Date with a Vampire II (2000) and My Date with a Vampire III (2004).
