Before Thai television news programs began using artificial intelligence to generate illustrations for various topics, there was a period when computer graphics were widely adopted. This was especially true during news reports on supernatural mysteries, whether they were about ghosts, spirits, aliens, or unexplainable phenomena. A strong sense of kitsch coated many of these works, creating images that looked awkward yet blended perfectly with the news content and a distinct sense of Thainess. It was as if viewers were watching Sadako from the 1998 Japanese horror film Ringu crawling out of their television screens, though it was not particularly terrifying because this Sadako was incredibly kitsch, entertaining, and an wildly fun!
