The Bangkok Horror Film Festival returns from March 13-15, and it's swapped its previous New World Mall digs for somewhere with a bit more character. The festival has moved to the sixth floor of Hua Lam Phong Post Office.

This time, you'll find outdoor screenings under the stars, a haunted house exhibition that brings scenes from the featured films to life, and spine-tingling stories shared by the actual film crews who lived through making these movies. There's also a short film competition for emerging horror talent, and talks where you can quiz directors and actors about their craft.

Between scares, there's food and music to keep your energy up, alongside plenty of other activities that make this feel like a proper festival rather than just a screening series.

The outdoor film lineup features a mix of Thai horror classics and international chillers. You'll get to see Scared, Bangkok Haunted and 303 Fear Faith Revenge alongside Speak No Evil, The Thing and Unfriended, all screened in one place.

Bangkok Horror Film Festival, sixth floor, Hua Lam Phong Post Office, March 13-15.
