Abstract

The article explores some aspects of Thailand Theravāda Buddhism through the film of Phi Mak Phra Khanong from reception perspective. The method and theory of reception aesthetics are used to provide a different perspective on the Theravāda Buddhism and create a basis to interpret these objects in the reception of public’s media. The public reception of Buddhism in general and Thailand Theravāda in particular has also been clarified by connecting to some Vietnamese horror films of the same period.
Keywords: Phi Mak Phra Khanong, Thailand Theravāda Buddhism, horror film, reception
