Halloween is fast-approaching, and that means new horror movie releases! If you’re in for a scare, skip the usual Hollywood movies and dive straight into these 11 Thai horror movies that are SO spooky that they had us looking over our shoulders and jumping at the slightest sound for days:
1. Shutter
[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQ7rW3LXB5o[/embed] This notoriously creepy movie is about a female ghost, Natre, haunting her ex-boyfriend, Tun. The story starts off with Tun and his current girlfriend, Jane, running over a mysterious young woman. Later on, it is revealed that this woman was Natre and her spirit still lingers in the human world because of something more horrible than the hit-and-run incident. We assure you after you watch this movie, you’ll never look at shoulder aches or photographs in the same way, ever again. Release: 20042. Coming Soon

This movie follows the story of a young projectionist, Chen, who decides to illegally record a newly released horror movie to earn some side cash. But things don’t go too well when his boss mysteriously disappears and when he finds out that the filmmakers of the movie he was trying to record experienced eerie bumps along the way too. Release: 20083. Alone

But this was certainly not the case for the pair of twins in this movie, Pim and Ploy, who were conjoined at the stomach from birth. The story starts off sweet and nice with both twins promising to stay together until they die but, obviously fate has it another way for them. While they were staying in the hospital, the twins meet a boy named Wee and both fall for him. However, Wee only had eyes for the sweet Pim. Ploy who was always harsh got jealous of Pim, causing the twins to get into a huge fight. They then decided to undergo surgery, which was, unfortunately, only partially successful, with Pim being the sole survivor. After the surgery, Pim starts experiencing a series of hauntings of Ploy. Only, is she really Pim? Or is she Ploy? Release: 20074. 4bia

The first part tells the story of a young woman who communicates with the outside world only via text message. But here’s the twist – she seems to be also communicating with otherworldly creatures. The second part tells the story of a young boy who witnesses a group of friends taking drugs and is beaten to death. This young boy’s spirit then lingers around haunting the group of perpetrators. The third part narrates how a group of four friends drowns but none of them except for one, accepts their death. And finally, the fourth part is about a flight attendant that has to fly on board an aeroplane with only one other person – a corpse. Release: 20085. Body #19
[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rfke24jOrTU[/embed] This story tells the story of a boy, Chon, who has recurring vivid nightmares about a girl being cruelly murdered and dismembered and put back together.

Release: 20076. Ladda Land
[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9a6aoRI2eO8[/embed] Slightly similar to Hollywood’s Paranormal Activity sans the weird and vomit-inducing cinematography, Ladda Land tells the story of a family who relocates to Ladda Land from Bangkok in hopes of a better life.
