Panel THE GRUDGE at Comic Fiesta 2019 'Invaded' by Dozens of Kayako Ghosts

Dozens of Kayako ghosts appeared on the stage of Comic Fiesta 2019, Kuala Lumpur. But don't worry, it won't cause mass possession. The presence of this Kayako ghost is part of the exciting panel of THE GRUDGE prepared by Sony Pictures. 

Present in the panel were THE GRUDGE director, Nicholas Pesce, and the actress known as the godmother of horror, Lin Shaye. How was the excitement? Kapanlagi, who had the opportunity to attend, will present it through photos. Find out more below.

Thousands or even tens of thousands of Japanese pop culture enthusiasts (anime, game, cosplayers) filled the Kuala Lumpur Convention Center, December 20-21, 2019.

To make it more exciting, cosplaying is best done in groups. One of the groups that performed exceptionally was the Boku Hero no Academia cosplayer team.

"Did any mystical experiences happen during filming?" Unfortunately, both Nic and Lin Shaye answered that nothing happened. "Even if it did, I would be very disappointed because it would disrupt the film production process," he joked.
