Bollywood in late 80’s did not have the technology or animation to create disasters like ‘Bhoot Returns’ or ‘Creature 3D’. Horror movies back then, had to rely solely on poor acting skills, bad story writing and horrible make-up to scare away the audience.
Here are some ‘horror’ movies from Bollywood that used the generic formula to scare the audience, but turned out to become laughter riots. Watch and laugh.
1. Saamri 3D
Mama Takleefchand kills Dharmesh who returns as Saamri and kills everyone. The funniest thing about the movie is that it is in 3D.
2. Dak Bangla
Just FYI, the guy with the red face, is a ‘Mummy’.
3. Mahakaal
A demon, that looks a lot like ‘Shahenshah’ with a nail fetish, is tormenting Anita. Of course Anita has the last laugh because, well, Archana Pooran Singh!
4. House No.13
So this house, that was numbered 13 by the housing authorities, was haunted. When a family moved in there, evil stuff happened. Things like, the fake ‘Mona Lisa’ painting in their bedroom started developing serious skin rashes. So, yeah.
5. Papi Gudia
The movie features a horrific, irritating creature that creeps you out. And the ‘Papi Gudia’ is there too.

It’s about an obscure tree that kills people. It’s more like an evil ‘ Ikchhadhari ped ‘.

It’s a rip off of Evil dead that is so bad, it will even embarrass copy paste-rs like Pritam.

The wiki page says “Kamal Hasan plays a vamp in the movie.” But of course, men do weird stuff when they’re thirsty.
