For years, TV personality and comedian Nabil Ahmad had heard stories about the abandoned theme park Mimaland in Gombak, Selangor, being a popular spot for “dumping” unwanted spirits. These tales inspired the 34-year-old to write comedy-horror telemovie The Hantus.

“I wondered what ghosts would do at a place like Mimaland? I imagined, since it’s a theme park, the ghosts there would be having fun,” he said during an interview in Kuala Lumpur.
