Whispering Corridors (Korean여고괴담; Hanja女高怪談; RRYeogo goedam; also known as Ghost School and Ghost School Horror) is a South Korean supernatural horror film series. The series uses an all-girls high school as the backdrop for each of its films. Every Whispering Corridors film features a different plot, characters and settings. The series is notable for helping generate the explosion of the New Korean Wave cinematic movement, and dealing with taboo topics such as authoritarianism in the harsh South Korean education system, gay relationships and teen suicide, following the liberalization of censorship.[1][2]
