Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Bahay ng Lagim premiered at Sineng Pambansa 2013, part of a government initiative to revive Philippine cinema that ironically preserved Castillo's obscured final statement.
Castillo died in November 2012, months before this premiere—making this technically a posthumous release directed by a ghost.
