The Horror of the Everyday (TikTok & YouTube Shorts): Indonesia produces some of the world’s most viral horror content. But unlike Western jump-scare compilations, the Indonesian style is infrastructural. Viral videos often depict pocong (shrouded ghosts) appearing on CCTV cameras in convenience stores, or kuntilanak (female vampires) perched on electric transformers.

Popular entertainment here is a ritual exorcism of the unknown lurking inside the known. sharing their daily lives
