The krasue is part of Southeast Asian mythology and is part of popular folklore in Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. It is the floating head of a vampiric female ghost. Intestines hang out of the ghost's neck and trail behind the head.

Several Thai films depict the krasue, including Krasue (Demonic Beauty) in 2002, 2006's Krasue Valentine by Yuthlert Sippapak, the Cambodian film, Nieng Arp (Lady Vampire), Hong Kong's Witch with the Flying Head (1977) and Indonesia's Mystics In Bali (1981).
