Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Yo Yo emerged during Thailand's 1970s horror boom, when local studios rushed out supernatural films to compete with Hong Kong and Japanese imports, often with shoestring budgets and sensational premises.
Director Neramit was reportedly so unconvinced by the yo-yo's menace that he originally wanted a cursed kite, but producer insisted the smaller object was cheaper to film.
