THAI HORROR MOVIES

Thai horror movies themes are based on Thai old stories ("MAE NAK" ghost), Thai old beliefs (ghosts such as "PHI KRASEU", ghosts refusing their death), ghost possession, love potions, black magic. The theme regarding the dead wife that becomes a ghost and refuses to leave her husband is often recurrent.
