7 Malaysian horror movie posters based on real news (Part 2)!

Dear CILISOS readers,

We’ve been waiting all year for Halloween to bring to you another spine-chilling round of spoooooky horror movies based on sometimes even SPOOKIER news headlines. Last year, we ran Part 1 and ugaiz loved it so much (at least that’s what we think), so we decided to sell them as t-shirts (click here to buy!).

So put on this Spotify playlist and enjoy these movies that’ll keep you awake with the lights on at night, your head under your blanket, crying out for mommy… But don’t lift your head though, cause between toll price increases and the haze, you never know if you’re already living in a real life horror movie.*evil cackle*

[Disclaimer: The events depicted in this movie are fictitious. Any similarity to any person living or dead is merely coincidental. Writers were not on weird substances while writing this. Really.]

1. Need for SPAD

Starring: Some Seng and more Some Seng

Plot: In a busy city in Malaysia, one taxi driver has had enough of the cartels. Despite warnings from his friends, he ventures out on his own, buying a Proton Saga and taking in jobs through another mysterious organisation known as UBER. Soon, some friends join him… and the organisation grows.

But the cartel doesn’t let go so easily, and things get violently out of hand.

 

2. Mighty Malay Power Rangers

Starring: Yamal Junos, Must Lan, 100,000 Bersih people

Once free, they began their attack for global domination by spreading jaundice in various parts of the planet.

In these desperate times, the heroic Mighty Malay Power Rangers (played by newcomer Yamal Junos) emerged to protect the livelihood of their people through empowering quotes and mathematical skills. As they battled it out, Lord Mangkuk (played by celebrity chef Mus Lan) sent reinforcements in the form of mechanical robots known as the Kapchai2000 to help the Rangers trample the mighty secret weapon of the Bersih army: the vuvuzelas.

 

3. The Sixth Sen

Again, he get’s a call with the voice saying “Oneeee EMMM DEE BEEEEEE!“.

Oh we do wish some of these were more fictional

But one of the things that makes us truly Malaysian is our ability to take the hard times on the chin and laugh it off. Just be sure that once your jaw recovers, you’ll join us in thinking of ways to make Malaysia a better place in these tough times ahead 🙂

Happy Halloween, Malaysians 🙂
