Halloween with Bollywood

Phoonk

Dealing with superstition and black magic, Ram Gopal Varma`s Phoonk turned out to be a surprise hit at the box office. It was a desi version of the popular ‘Exorcism’ series in Hollywood.

Vaastu Shastra

Saurab Narang`s Vastu Shastra turned out to be the spookiest fare for horror film fans. No wonder, the film was marketed with a tagline, saying - Warning: The producers aren`t responsible for the consequences after watching the movie. It starred bong beauty Sushmita Sen in it.

Bhoot

Does the fear of ghosts and spirits grip you as soon as you are home alone? Well if it does, then Bhoot is definitely not the movie for you. Bhoot features Urmila Matondkar dealing with a dead woman`s spirit in the confines of an apartment. Isn’t that Scary!

Raaz 2

Apart from its chartbusting soundtrack, Raaz - The Mystery Continues attempted to challenge one`s beliefs about paranormal phenomenon and scared audiences with its spooky visuals. It stars Emraan Hashmi and Kangana Ranaut in lead roles.

What happens when instead of showing you the news/soaps, the TV begins to show you what it wants you to see? If you think that sounds weird, you have got to watch the movie. It’s spine-chilling starring actor R Madhvan.

Darna Mana Hai

A Ram Gopal Verma production, Darna Mana Hai scared the daylights out of the viewers with the way it mixed six different stories into a single plot. With lot of young actors in it, it was relatable and believable as each one of them unfolded their unique story of spookiness.

Darna Zaroori Hai

Ram Gopal Verma definitely has something for the horror genre. After producing Darna Mana Hai, he came out with Darna Zaroori Hai which again worked on the six stories formula.
