    WHAT IS A GHOUL

    MUMBAI: What is this mysterious creature? Is it a Ghost, a Werewolf, Vampire, Wizard or a Witch, none of the above? According to Arabic folklore, a Ghoul is a demonic phantom or an evil spirit that blends in right with humans. The Ghoul is flaccid and can take the shape of any human. A human can trade his/her soul to call upon the Ghoul! It is also considered a fiendish Jinn who dwells in your past guilt, feeds on it and makes you feel remorseful. The Ghoul thrives on finishing the task, finding the guilt and eating the flesh! Talk about psychological thriller meets horror meets the devil within!

    Taking this mythology and fables into a contemporary and modern-day setting, Ghoul is set in a covert detention center at which military officials question and often torture suspected terrorists. The series revolves around Nida, a newly-minted interrogator who turned in her own father as an anti-government activist. She arrives at the center to discover that some of these terrorists are not from this world, and she must fight for not just the truth, but for her survival as well. In her quest of finding the truth, she unmasks the demons within these corrupt officers at the military camp! Because, as they say, the demon is amongst us and within us. 

    Netflix is all set to send chills down your spine with the release of ‘Ghoul’ and venture into the Indian horror/thriller genre. The suspenseful and thrilling trailer of the series has managed to garner a lot of attention and has piqued the curiosity of audiences prior to its release.

    Leather outdoor gear manufacturer Woodland launched #Woodoo on Twitter and a video on Facebook to connect with viewers.

     

    It started with the rolling out of a spooky image with the message ‘Do Not ReTweet.’ This evoked the curiosity within its users and people did exactly what they were told not to do and expectedly they re-tweeted. They took it one step further by taking the profile picture of the person who had re-tweeted the message and customised it in a template. This template was re-tweeted too. It created a thrill and excitement in people to see these horrifying images of themselves, which they proudly flaunted on their Twitter handles.

     

    Woodoo was ideated with an objective to engage the young internet audience between the ages of 16 – 25 through the festival of Halloween.
