Cine Lux and the Ahp (Cambodia)

Phnom Penh’s long standing movie hall Ciné Lux built in the late 1930s has closed down. I used to cross the busy intersection here to reach my home at street 172. They always showed Thai or Khmer horror movies - I learnt about the Ahp (a South East Asian ghost in the shape of a floating woman’s head with internal organs trailing behind, also known as Krasue in Thailand) via the posters here. It could be a great place to shoot horror films now. Maybe there is an Ahp inside.
