Thai horror

Thai horror refers to horror films produced in the Thai film industry. Thai folklore and beliefs in ghosts have influenced its horror cinema.[1][2][3][4] Horror is among the most popular genres in Thai cinema, and its output has attracted recognition internationally.[5][6][7][8] Pee Mak, for example, a 2013 comedy horror film, is the most commercially successful Thai film of all time.[9]
