Summer Night Horror, Korean Folk Village 'Midnight Horror Village' open until August

Korean Folk Village will launch its largest K-horror festival, 'Midnight Horror Village', on the 26th. The festival will run every night until August 25th, and K-ghosts will welcome visitors in the backdrop of a Joseon Dynasty village.

Korean Folk Village is presenting two new contents for its 2024 'Midnight Horror Village' festival. 'Abandoned House', a spin-off content of Gwigul, will delve into the mysterious stories experienced by the investigators of Korean Folk Village's representative content, Gwigul. Visitors can immerse themselves in the Gwigul content by experiencing the strange phenomena and stories that occurred in the house where the investigators stayed. This content will run daily at Minsok Village 25. In addition, the 'Ghosts Live' content will allow visitors to experience a thrilling cohabitation with ghosts. It will run at Minsok Village 42 and 43.

'Gwigul: Bloodthirsty Ghosts' and 'Gwigul: Murderous Ghosts', the main K-horror walkthroughs that run daily during the Midnight Horror Village festival, were previously only operated on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, but visitors can now experience them to their heart's content during the festival. 'Ok Sachanggyeol' and 'Sookchon Ghost Stories', which were very popular, have been newly revamped. Ok Sachanggyeol has transformed into a Joseon-style escape room, offering visitors the fun of finding a treasure map and escaping from a prison that has become a hell for prisoners. Sookchon Ghost Stories is in a format where a Joseon-era ghost storyteller tells visitors stories they have experienced firsthand, sending shivers down their spines.

'Otherworldly Contest' and 'Midnight Club: Paradise Party' are also recommended for making summer nights even hotter. The Otherworldly Contest will take place from 9:30 PM to 10:30 PM every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, offering the ultimate fun through a competition to select the best ghost. Midnight Club: Paradise Party will take place from 9:30 PM to 10:30 PM every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and public holiday, offering a time to dance with ghosts to powerful EDM.

'Makeup Experience: Horror Makeup Room' where special makeup artists will apply ghost makeup directly, and 'Costume Experience: Horror Costume Room' where various ghost costumes are available, will also be operated. Through this, visitors can transform themselves into ghosts and create special memories while enjoying the K-horror festival.

Limited-edition food and beverage menus can only be found at the Midnight Horror Village festival. The Chilling Midnight Diner will sell five types of menus: △ Blood Ink Rice Bowl △ Eyeball-less Red Bean Shaved Ice △ Hell Radish Tteokbokki △ Bulgogi Hell Dog △ Shredded Dried Radish Kimchi Fried. Ossakhan Yakbang and Kkotchi Pien Yeoreumbam will offer refreshing drinks such as highballs.

Korean Folk Village plans to operate a shuttle bus that runs between the entrance, Sanggal Station, and Singal Intersection every Friday, Saturday, and public holiday during the festival for the convenience of visitors.

Nam Seung-hyun, head of the Content Planning Team at Korean Folk Village, said, "The Midnight Horror Village, Korea's largest K-horror festival, has become a cultural trend. We hope that visitors can enjoy a cool and thrilling summer night through this Midnight Horror Village festival." He also added, "We will do our best to provide visitors with a rich experience through Korean Folk Village's differentiated content."

Korean Folk Village is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year and focusing on spreading Korean traditional culture to the world.
