    Left alone when night falls, what do you see and hear in the darkness?  Fresh from the success of Ayala Malls’ Korean Film Festival and will again unspool horror this Halloween, you may have experienced one of “Urban Myths’” stories, with horror lurking in everyday familiar places. Featuring Korea’s famous actors in 10 horrifying stories – Shownu (MONSTA X), Lee Minhyuk (BTOB), JU Hak-nyeon (THE BOYZ), Seola (WJSN), Exy (WJSN), AleXa (Soompi’s Rising Legends), Kim Do-yoon (Hellbound/Peninsula), Seo Ji-soo (LOVELYZ), Arin (OH MY GIRL), Bong Jae-hyun (GOLDEN CHILD), Lee Soo-min (The Dude in Me), Lee Yul-eum (The King), Jung Won-chang (Midnight), Oh Ryoong (Special Delivery), Lee Ho-won (Reply 1997), and Rie Young-zin (Juror), the movie reminds us of the ghosts in our heads and the strange things we experience all around us.

    Ayala Malls Cinemas lets you in on the fear of survival as evil is unmasked and the danger draws closer to home in “Halloween Ends.”. More than four decades after its cinema debut, the highly successful franchise “Halloween” finally meets its terrifying conclusion in “Halloween Ends,” where Jamie Lee Curtis is back in her final face-off with Myers, ultimately determining only one survivor.
