🎃 Happy Halloween! 🎃

Get ready for a night filled with chills and thrills—Thai style! 🇹🇭 Why not take Halloween to the next level with some truly spooky Thai horror movies? These Thai movies blend scares with fascinating local folklore:

👻 Death Whisperer (ธี่หยด) - Inspired by a 2015 horror novel and drawing from the terrifying The Evil Dead, this movie tells of a deadly curse plaguing a remote village. When three sisters encounter a mysterious figure, one falls mysteriously ill, leading to frightening turns.

👹 The Medium (ร่างทรง): is a chilling mix of Thai and South Korean horror that dives deep into the shaman culture of Thailand’s Isaan region. The story follows a village medium, deeply revered in rural Thailand, where many still turn to spirit doctors for guidance. But with new generations turning away from these traditions, this movie has haunting results.

💀 Daeng Phra Khanong (แดง พระโขนง) - Inspired by the legendary ghost of Mae Nak, this film adds a twist of humor with the story of her son, Daeng, but don’t be fooled—plenty of scares await!

Get cozy, turn off the lights, and let these Thai horror classics make your Halloween night unforgettable! 🎬👻
