Regal Entertainment and BingoPlus have turned Shake, Rattle & Roll, the horror film franchise that has frightened Filipino households since 1984, into five interactive games: Manananggal, Reyna Ahas, Triple Terror, LRT Monster, and Aswang. The titles went live on the BingoPlus app in early November 2026, with a phased rollout planned for ArenaPlus and GameZone.
According to the Inquirer, the partnership pairs Regal's more than four decades of Filipino filmmaking with the digital entertainment platform of BingoPlus, which operates under DigiPlus Interactive Corp. The goal is simple: carry stories rooted in Philippine folklore from the cinema screen to the phone screen without flattening what made them ours in the first place.
Why a 42-year-old horror franchise matters in 2026
First released in 1984, Shake, Rattle & Roll built its reputation on the ordinary made frightening: a haunted refrigerator, a creature waiting in the bathroom, a train ride that turns deadly. Its monsters drew from local folklore and Philippine mythology, and they stayed in conversation long after audiences left the cinema. Ask anyone who grew up in the provinces in the nineties; somebody in the family refused to open the ref at night because of that film.
That endurance is exactly what Regal wants to protect as the franchise changes medium. CinemaBravo reported that the five original games are the first fruits of the collaboration, and that Regal's creative legacy sits at the center of the design.
“For more than four decades, Shake, Rattle & Roll has remained part of Philippine popular culture through stories that are distinctly Filipino,” said Roselle Monteverde, president of Regal Entertainment.
“Our collaboration with DigiPlus opens a new chapter for the franchise, bringing its creative legacy into digital entertainment while preserving the storytelling and cultural identity that have made it enduring,” Monteverde added.
What the games will look like
The launch lineup leans on the franchise's most recognizable creatures. Manananggal and Aswang come straight from Visayan folklore, the winged woman who separates at the waist and the flesh-eating shapeshifter that our lolos warned us about. Reyna Ahas recalls the snake queen stories told across the islands, while LRT Monster turns one of Metro Manila's most ordinary commuter experiences into a threat, a trick the films perfected decades ago. Triple Terror bundles three scares in one title.
For BingoPlus, the deal is a statement about how the platform intends to compete: local stories rather than imported themes. EEGaming reported that DigiPlus sees the Regal partnership as a way to differentiate its gaming catalog with content Filipino players already recognize and trust.
“Our goal is to give our players premium entertainment. This partnership is also an example of how we work: we put our customers first. We listen to what our players enjoy, and we keep working to give them something fresh, engaging, and made for them,” said DigiPlus Chairman Eusebio Tanco.
“Partnering with Regal, one of the country's most respected names in storytelling, helps us deliver that,” Tanco added.
Responsible gaming and the business backdrop
BingoPlus says it will pair the rollout with its responsible gaming commitments, describing its platform as trustworthy and personal, with entertainment kept “fun and balanced.” That framing matters. Online gaming in the Philippines has grown fast, and watchdogs have pressed operators to prove that growth does not come at the expense of vulnerable players, especially the young. The company's stated commitment is welcome; the proof will be in enforcement.
The partnership also lands at a sensitive moment for DigiPlus financially. Context.ph reported that the company is working to protect its margins as gaming revenues weaken, and that content initiatives like the Shake, Rattle & Roll games are part of that strategy, with releases on ArenaPlus and GameZone to follow. Tying the brand to beloved local characters is a sensible hedge: franchises with four decades of goodwill do not need to be explained to a Filipino audience.
A new life for Filipino folklore
There is something encouraging in two homegrown brands betting on Filipino material rather than foreign templates. Our folklore is rich enough, and terrifying enough, to carry its own weight in any medium. The manananggal has survived Spanish colonial records, wartime campfire stories, komiks, and dozens of films; she will survive a mobile app.
Journal News noted that JC, a filmmaker associated with the franchise's urban-legend tradition, sees the move as a natural next home for scares that generations of Filipinos already carry with them. The monsters are familiar. The screens are new.
For now, the five games are live on the BingoPlus app, and the phased rollout to ArenaPlus and GameZone gives the partnership room to grow across DigiPlus' platforms. Whether the games themselves are any good is for players to judge. What is already certain is that the franchise Rosa del Rosario and the Regal founders built has found yet another way to stay in the Filipino imagination, from the big screen to the one in your pocket.
