In making a horror movie, no matter the filmmakers or the cast, they no doubt will want the best result to really give an impact on audiences. Therefore, they must truly embody their characters and the film set must also be relevant with the story they wish to deliver. Since we're talking horror movies here, surely there are scary and spooky occurrences encountered by the cast and crew on set, right? So, let's recount the tales that several celebrities have shared regarding their experiences on their horror film sets!

Fazura revealed that she and the production crew were disturbed by a woman who resembled her
(long hair and wearing white kebaya) during the filming of "Dendam Pontianak".

While filming one of the scenes in "Hantu Kak Limah", which required Delimawati to be on the roof,
Mamat Khalid noticed that an entity resembling Kak Limah passed behind her.

It was difficult to differentiate acting from reality, Shima Anuar admitted when she was possessed while
filming the film "Highland Tower", after seeing a strange entity several times on location.
