The Haunting of Likay – Volume 1

Supernatural Horror Meets Traditional Thai Theater
By Latigo Bayne

Step beyond the velvet curtain into the haunting world of Likay—Thailand’s vibrant, emotional folk theater—where performance, spirit, and shadow blur into one.

In this original screenplay collection, Latigo Bayne weaves supernatural horror with the rich heritage of Thai Likay, creating a chilling fusion of folklore, fate, and psychological suspense. These cinematic tales draw you into a realm where ghost stories aren’t just told on stage—they’re lived.

🎭 Inside this volume:

1. The Shadows of the Spirit House
   In a rural village, a Likay performance awakens something long buried. Som, a strong-willed actress, finds herself caught between personal freedom and ancient forces when a sacred spirit house tied to the theater is disturbed. What begins as tradition becomes a terrifying unraveling of fate.
2. The Grim Reaper’s Debt
   Kiet, a fading Likay troupe owner, once made a desperate deal to save his stage. Years later, as ghostly figures slip between the wings and reality starts to fracture, the cost of that promise comes due—and the souls of his performers may be the final payment.

Poetic. Unsettling. Deeply rooted in Thai culture.
The Haunting of Likay is not just a screenplay—it’s an immersive journey into the spiritual undercurrents of performance, where the act of storytelling itself can stir the dead.

Whether you’re a screenwriter, folklorist, or horror enthusiast, this collection is a haunting homage to the power of art—and the spirits who refuse to leave the stage.
