October 24th, 2007
 It’s that time of year again, when people walk around dressed like freaks, donning masks or slathering their faces in gothic makeup, and it’s considered normal. Like other holidays we barely understand yet have nevertheless embraced, Halloween is “celebrated” here, from nightclub theme parties to kids running around in Harry Potter costumes. But everyone knows that, in Thailand, ghosts don’t just come out on October 31st. Here, spirits are believed to be as real as the living, and it’s best not to defy these mysterious forces. But that doesn’t mean we can’t talk about them. In this issue we highlight some of our favorite terrifying tales that have been passed down throughout the generations. (read more...)

Playing a small part in the movies by Patricia Wenk
Leo DiCaprio did it years ago. Nick Cage just did it a couple weeks ago. Angelina Jolie did it. Colin Farrell did it.
