The ‘Gabi Ng Lagim’ franchise was started in 2013 when ‘Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho’ aired its first Halloween special under the branding.

Prior to ‘Gabi Ng Lagim,’ GMA Pictures released last July another horror movie, ‘P77,’ which starred Barbie Forteza and child star Euwenn Mikaell—marking the studio’s comeback to the genre after producing the critcially-acclaimed films like ‘The Road’ and ‘Aswang Chronicles.’
