HBO’s “Folklore” gives a modern interpretation to the story of a Thai ghost, as it forges a deal with a journalist this Sunday on “Pob,” the fourth installment of the horror anthology. (Oct. 28).

Directed by Pen-Ek Ratanaruang, who is an important figure in the Thai film industry with his films recognized in the Oscar’s Foreign Language Film category. The episode follows the life of Manop, a struggling journalist who is on the hunt for the mysterious killer of Paul Conrad, an American CEO, found dead in his home.

As he starts his investigation, he meets a Pob, who admits that he killed the businessman. The Pob, then, tells him why he killed the man and makes a deal with the journalist to publish his story.

Will he grant the Pob his request? And if not, what will be the consequences of his refusal?

HBO Asia's “Folklore” draws on the local myths from Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. It initially aired the Indonesian movie, “A Mother’s Love. Following “Pob” are tales from Malaysia (“Toyol”), and Korea (“Mongdal”).
