Hong Kong powerhouse actor Philip Keung, Thai popular actress Kao Supassara Thanachat, often dubbed the "Thai version of Nini Ou-Yang," Singaporean actors Glenn Yong and Mayiduo, as well as Malaysian actor Eric Lay, will be attending the premieres to interact with fans and celebrate the release of this international horror production.

Fans who wish to attend the premieres can follow the film's official social media platforms for updates on how to win premiere tickets. Those who are unable to secure tickets are still welcome to join the red carpet fan interaction session outside the cinema to catch a glimpse of the stars.

In addition, the cast will appear at several shopping malls in Penang and the Klang Valley between 17 and 20 March, where they will meet fans and participate in interactive games.

Development and research for the project began in 2022, and since filming commenced in May 2024, the bold subject matter has drawn significant attention.
