Kuala Lumpur – Astro introduces Boo, the destination for Asian Horror, where the creepiest, slimiest, oiliest and scariest crawl out of your imagination to come to horrific life on screen. If terror and suspense is your thing, Boo will be your best companion this Halloween with all movies available on demand via connected PVR, Astro on the Go and also on Astro Channel 404 in High-Definition.

Henry Tan, Chief Operating Officer, Astro said, “Every person has a scary experience or tale to share; stories of ghosts and the supernatural are so steeped especially in Asian cultures that it is not difficult to uncover a treasure trove of ghost stories .”

“Horror and the supernatural are one of the most enduring audience favourites thus Boo is a well-timed addition to our line-up and we believe that Boo and similar Asian vernacular content will be able to travel beyond Malaysia to resonate with audiences across Southeast Asia.”

With a new movie premiering every Friday Boo’s line-up of slashers, psycho-thrillers, action-horror, and more are sure to give the audience the jitters. At launch, Boo’s special premieres include the Thai thriller, “Grace”, a movie about a former Internet idol and her number one fan and their attempt to kidnap the Internet idols of this generation; the urban legend of The Little Girl in Red in the Taiwanese movie, “The Tag-Along”; the haunting “Ghost Sense” also from Thailand; and, paranormal Indonesian movie, “Misterius”.

Thai and Japanese classics, Nangnak and Shutter, JU ON: White Ghost & Black Ghost, Battle Royale” and local favourites, “Jangan Pandang Belakang Boleh?”, “Kami Histeria”, “Hantu Tok Mudim” and “Spicy Killers” are all terrifying great.
