Vampires and werewolves, zombies and witches, cursed objects and nightmares bleeding into the real world — they're all beyond our grasp and therefore supernatural. Heck, all eight "Leprechaun" movies and all but the first two "Friday the 13th" films fit the bill, too.

The film industry in Thailand has been active since the 1920s, and the horror genre has been a part of it for most of that time. The genre saw its biggest rise, though, as part of the Asian horror boom of the early 2000s. While Japanese horrors like "Ringu" (which inspired "The Ring" franchise in the U.S.) and "Dark Water" are among the country's best horror films, Thailand made waves with the release of 2004's "Shutter." The genre has stayed a constant ever since.
