Painted Nightmares celebrates the enduring charm of hand-painted Thai horror film posters from 1940 to 1980. The works are drawn from the remarkable collection of Athitpat Suttikornkamol, who has gathered more than 3,000 film posters. The exhibition takes visitors back to the era before digital design, through original paintings and rare posters. Special screenings of classic horror films, matched to the posters on display, complete the experience.
About the collector
Athitpat Suttikornkamol (Fame) graduated from the Faculty of Architecture, Chulalongkorn University, and works as an interior designer. He is a devoted collector of Thailand’s film heritage. His passion began with a Star Trek DVD, which set him searching for the original posters of other Thai films. Captivated by the beauty of their hand-drawn lines, he has been seriously collecting these pieces of history ever since.
