Discover the chilling origins of the Ghoul, the shapeshifting graveyard predator from Arabian mythology that became one of horror's most enduring monsters. This documentary explores the pre-Islamic Arabian Ghul, its terrifying abilities to transform into beautiful deceivers, and its insatiable hunger for human flesh.
Journey through fifteen centuries of Ghoul mythology, from ancient Arabic poetry and the Arabian Nights to Victorian Gothic literature, Lovecraftian cosmic horror, and modern media like Fallout and Tokyo Ghoul. Learn how this desert demon evolved across cultures while maintaining its core identity as a corpse-eating shapeshifter that dwells at the boundary between life and death.
We examine the Ghoul's relationship to Jinn in Islamic cosmology, the gendered differences between Ghul and Ghula, traditional defenses using iron and fire, and why this creature continues to resonate in contemporary Arabian culture and global horror entertainment. Uncover what the Ghoul reveals about universal human fears of death, deception, and the violation of burial sanctity.
