The Borrowed Skin

<p><strong><u>The Borrowed Skin</u></strong></p><p>A chilling modern horror inspired by Southeast Asian folklore.</p><p>Five university friends in Manchester have a brilliant idea for their final Halloween together to cosplay ghosts from Malay and Indo legends:<br><strong>Pontianak Pocong Kum Kum Jenglot and Hantu Galah.</strong></p><p>It was supposed to be<strong> FUN.</strong><br>A night of laughter photos and one last memory before adulthood pulled them apart.<br>But when they order their authentic costumes from a mysterious online shop<br>the line between myth and reality begins to blur.</p><p><strong>The clothes arrive old stained and disturbingly real.</strong><br>Each carries a story. Each carries a soul.<br>And each is tagged with the name of a dead person.</p><p><strong>Little did they know they had crossed a boundary no one should ever cross.</strong><br>Soon whispers follow them.<br>Calls come in a foreign tongue.<br>Knocks echo through empty rooms.<br>And faces that aren't their own begin to stare back from the mirror.</p><p>The spirits they imitated were never meant to be worn.<br>Because some spirits don't haunt.<br>They replace.</p><p><strong>The Borrowed Skin</strong> is a haunting slow-burn supernatural horror that explores belief identity and the terrifying cost of curiosity - a tale that lingers long after you've closed the last page.</p>
