The Shephard/Robin Company

Background: Ghost Hotel Productions (โรงแรมผีโปรดักชั่น) is a Thai horror-themed film production company founded in Winter 1897. The first film to be produced was Garuhad Khong Satan (คฤหาสน์ของซาตาน), but it did not use a logo until 1975. However, it is the most wonderful horror film production companies ever made. Despite being a horror-themed film production company, it produces non-horror-themed films like action, adventure, romance, comedy, suspense, drama, musical, family films, and more. Ghost Hotel Productions is owned and operated by Jiravan Kampanat Saengrat. The company will mainly produce Thai-themed animated and live action films and their derivatives for distribution within Thailand and worldwide, and it was shut down in 1980.

(1975-1980)

Logo: On a black (or dark blue, possibly due to film deterioration) background, we see the Thai text, which translates to "Jiravan Kampanat Saengrat presents" fading in. Once the Thai text fades out, thunderstorms appear. We suddenly cut to black screen. The black screen cuts to the hotel with the thunderstorm in front of it. After the scene cuts, "GHOST HOTEL" in Thai appears zooming while waving. The text is still waving once it stops zooming, until it finally fades out.

FX/SFX: The text, the thunderstorms, the hotel, and the text zooming in. Done by Wogganda and Associates (ว.วรรกงินดา และ บริษัท ร่วม).

Music/Sounds: A jet takeoff is heard with the whistling-like sound, then the thunder is heard as thunderstorms appear. The 1-note dramatic note is heard as "GHOST HOTEL" in Thai appears zooming while waving, then a creepy fanfare is heard.

Availability: Seen on some horror movies by the company. Also appeared on non-horror-themed and international movies, despite being a horror-themed film production company.

Editor’s Note: The thunderstorms, the creepy text, the sounds and the creepy fanfare can scare some people. Considering that it is a horror company, it is purely intentional. Though the 2D animation used was good for the 1970s, it started to become dated around the 1990s.
