Hello friends here we will try to cover notable Best Hindi Horror Movies or you can say Horror Movies by Bollywood which is called ‘Bhut Films‘ or ‘Bhoot Movies‘ by common people.
Horror Movies Hindi
Whenever you think about a Bollywood horror flick and what strikes a chord is a Ramsay Brother film with a Purani Haveli, Ramu kaka, squeaking entryways, and terrible ugly looking monster who enjoy watching girls taking shower before killing them.
The designs and outfits are terrible to such an extent, that they’re entertaining, not scary.
Though, while a few films have spoilt the notoriety of Best Hindi Horror Movies however that doesn’t imply that Bollywood has never created any good horror movie all these years.
However, to save the audacity of horror-thriller movies we will avoid adding Horror-Comedy genre movies in this list compiled. We will try to embed the movie trailer as well if they are available on YouTube’s official channels.
Here’s a collection of Best Hindi Horror Movies released over all these years. Some of them provide good thriller experience and some of them are scary as well.
