Cosplay

Jiang Shi cosplayers reanimate the Qing-era hopping vampire with embroidered funeral robes, jade death masks, and paper talismans pasted across their foreheads. Videos focus on the stiff-legged gait, outstretched arms, and exorcism duels that set these undead officials apart from Western vampires. Expect heavy corpse paint, red eyes, and the occasional Taoist priest in matching cosplay.
