“Return to the Underworld” (2017) depicts the last day of Hungry Ghost Month, demons howling and making a ruckus as they journey home under the full moon. Hungry Ghost Month is the seventh month of the Chinese Lunar Calendar, an auspicious time where it is believed that the ghosts of Chinese ancestors are released from Hell to wreak havoc amongst the living. On the last day, many families release river lanterns on small boats, guiding the dead back to the underworld.
