โรงเรียนผีมีอยู่ว่า…[5](https://www.justwatch.com/uk/tv-series/school-tales-the-series) |\n\n## Spoilers\n\n### Premise and episodes\n\nEach episode adapts one schoolyard ghost story, the kind of urban legend students pass among themselves, and follows students who face mysterious and inescapable terrors inside their school.[1](https://about.netflix.com/en/news/netflix-announces-school-tales-the-series) Netflix's episode guide lists the eight stories:[6](https://www.netflix.com/title/81486333?source=35)\n\n1. **7AM** (48 min): a student arrives early to warn classmates about messages that appear on the blackboard every morning.\n2. **Vengeful Spell** (49 min): a student finds a box in the school attic and curses a rival out of jealousy.\n3. **Beautiful** (48 min): the most popular girl in school is outdone when a classmate suddenly becomes much more beautiful overnight.\n4. **The Book of Corpses** (46 min): a transfer student writes curses against her bullies in a mysterious book from the school library.\n5. **The Headless Teacher** (50 min): two mischievous students investigate a teacher's death by helping to find her missing head.\n6. **Lunch** (49 min): an overeager student tries to expose the ingredients behind a popular school lunch stall.\n7. **The Curse** (45 min): a smart but cowardly student is forced by bullies to make a wish to a school nurse ghost.\n8. **A Walk in School** (49 min): at night, a student livestreams an investigation of his high school to prove ghost stories are not real.[6](https://www.netflix.com/title/81486333?source=35)\n\nThe trailer describes the source material as eight horror comics turned into eight episodes, covering a classmate who jumps from the school building, a dark corner of the library, a canteen stall with strange-tasting ingredients, a headless teacher, a locked room, a spirit in an abandoned building, and a deadly roll call.[7](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBeNwpuiM44)\n\n## Production\n\n**Directors and studio.** Netflix announced the series as the work of six directors with established horror careers: Thanadol Nualsuth, Puttipong Saisrikaew, Songsak Mongkolthong, Phontharis Chotkijsadarsopon, Saniphong Suddhiphan, and Natthapong Wongkaweepairoj.[1](https://about.netflix.com/en/news/netflix-announces-school-tales-the-series) Letterboxd credits Five Star Production as the studio and Adirek Phothong as writer.[8](https://letterboxd.com/film/school-tales-the-series/) In an interview with GQ Thailand, one of the directors explained that his episode, the headless-teacher story, was deliberately played as comedy to give viewers a break between the scarier episodes, and that the headless effect was produced with computer graphics, which created the challenge of how actors should perform against it.[9](https://gqthailand.com/article/school-tales-the-series-director-interview)\n\n**Cast.** The announced cast of young actors includes Kay Lertsittichai, Nutchapan Paramacharoenroj, Panisara Rikulsurakan, Jennis Oprasert, Siwat Jumlongkul, Thasorn Klinnium, Shinaradee Anupongpichart, Patchanan Jiajirachote, Sarika Sartsilpsupa, Thongchai Thongkanthom, Punnavich Pattanasiri, Waratthip Kittisiripaisan, Tonhon Tantivejakul, Pattadon Janngeon, Nalinthip Phoemphattharasakun, Suppapong Udomkaewkanjana, and Wachirawit Ruangwiwat.[1](https://about.netflix.com/en/news/netflix-announces-school-tales-the-series) Netflix's own page highlights Kay Lertsittichai, Jennis Oprasert, and Siwat Jumlongkul as the starring names.[6](https://www.netflix.com/title/81486333?source=35)\n\n## Reception\n\nProfessional reviews were mixed to negative. Rotten Tomatoes records a 44% Tomatometer from three reviews and fewer than 50 audience ratings.[4](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/school_tales_the_series/s01) Joel Keller of Decider wrote that the series \"needs some better stories to justify the lack of scares, or better scares to justify the lack of story,\" while Andrew Male of The Times (UK) recommended it to viewers who want straightforward gory horror, and Ally Ham of The Review Geek gave it 4/10, arguing the anthology would have benefited from more collaboration between writers and directors to avoid repeating the same clichés.[4](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/school_tales_the_series/s01) On IMDb the series holds a 5.4/10 rating from about 829 users.[3](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21332800)\n\nViewer and critical commentary has noted the series' structure of cause and effect: in most episodes, bullies or wrongdoers face retribution by the end, a pattern one reviewer compared to the Thai series *Girl From Nowhere* and found predictable, while also crediting the show with reviving schoolyard ghost stories familiar across Southeast Asia and with an explicit moral about karma.[10](https://www.edsa-unair.com/2022/08/school-tales-the-series-thai-review.html) Episode 5, The Headless Teacher, is repeatedly singled out as the comic entry; a Plugged In review describes it as closer to horror comedy than pure horror.[11](https://www.pluggedin.com/tv-reviews/school-tales-the-series/)\n\n## Distribution\n\nThe series streams on Netflix worldwide, including in the United States and the United Kingdom, with Thai original audio, Thai audio description, and subtitles in English, Korean, Thai, and other languages depending on region.[6](https://www.netflix.com/title/81486333?source=35) • [12](https://flixboss.com/series/school-tales-the-series-81486333) [JustWatch](https://www.edgepedia.org/justwatch) lists it with a UK age rating of 18 and a runtime of 48 minutes per episode.[5](https://www.justwatch.com/uk/tv-series/school-tales-the-series)\n\n## References\n\n1.
