As Ghost Month 2026 is in full swing and some people are observing this tradition every which way, it seems the media side is light this year. But all is not lost for those daring to pierce the veil (or travel to that country) to seek them out! Usually that’s a bad thing, but for those couch paranormal enthusiasts and investigators, that’s the only way to keep going in terms of tracking what comes out around this time of year! As for the actual Hungry Ghost Festival itself, that falls on August 27, 2026,
The month itself is approaching the end of the first week. It began August 13 and will last till September 10, 2026. And in Malaysia, the film to keep an eye out on, assuming it gets international distribution is Da Shi Ye: Seventh Month Getai《大士爺：七月歌台》, which is produced by D Channel.
The story uses getai performances, Seventh Month taboos, folk legends and the worship of Da Shi Ye, the guardian deity overseeing wandering spirits during the festival. Director JeRR PS Rion said roughly 90 per cent of the film takes place around a specially constructed getai stage, and the production includes original getai songs rather than merely using the festival as decorative wallpaper. It will open theatrically in October 2026. At the time of writing, no international distributor or streaming arrangement has been confirmed.

On the Cinematic Front….
The Chinese folk-horror film 古村迷宅 is set for release on the fifteenth day of Ghost Month, deliberately on the day of the Zhongyuan Festival itself. With the date of August 27th set, let the gates of Hell open to unleash all kinds of spirits upon humanity, and yes, foot fetishes are included too! There’s no official title, but I like to call it This Old House (And Me).

Looking back, the last century feels like the moment genre television quietly defined its contract with the audience. Most of those early experiments arrived in short waves, and like the tides, they came and went. Some returned decades later on specialty stations or streaming platforms. And these days, nearly everything is being tucked into quieter shores. Every so often, the tropes that once defined a series are reskinned for a new generation, which is simply how television writing evolves.
When the autumn slate of television programming for youths is in full gear, just what we enjoy watching isn’t always going to be offered on the big three—Amazon Prime, Netflix or Hulu. There’s some great animated series in the world of streaming rather than network for obvious reasons. Luckily, the last stretch of 2025 has a few curious newcomers and oddball experiments worth watching—or at least watching for. Some shimmer with potential, others… less so (Armorsaurs, we’re side-eyeing you). As to be fair for Devil May Cry, they deserve honourable mention despite having started in Spring than Fall.
