Hollywood is famous for its horror collection, especially in India. India is a land of spices, and the influence of the Western zings is such that horror movies in Hindi are quite popular on the web. Here are the top fifteen which you can watch on a cold, stormy night with hot popcorns and blankets around your heads.
1.The Ring:
Another horror franchise, which made records for teenagers watching videotapes. The 2002 flick is also considered to have paved the way for many other Asian movies in the same genre such as ‘The Grudge’ and ‘Dark Water’.
2. The Conjuring 1:
This James Wan directed 2013 supernatural horror hit broke records. The plot is based on renowned paranormal investigators, Ed and Lorraine Warren. The dark presence in a secluded farmhouse is the best, albeit clichéd, movie ever.
3. The Conjuring 2: The first installment of the series was full of a variety of ghosts, but this one takes the scary to another level. The suspense is heavy and even Annabelle makes an appearance in the James Wan directed horror flick. The Hindi version is also great to watch in HD.
4. Mama: This is probably the only horror movie, which will make you cry. And this is also the horror movie, which is not bound by the language in order to make an impact on the audience.
5. The woman in black: The Daniel Radcliffe starrer is a must watch. You know its horror when the spirit murders the kids. Add to that the expert direction of James Watkins and chilling moments in plenty- now you know why it’s on this list.
6.Drag me to hell: People who love to watch horror story with witches will find plenty of jump scares in this Sam Raimi directed flick. Taking curses to another level of hell, the ‘spook a blast’ for pushing your limits for survival is superb for watching.
7. Insidious: Perhaps the scariest franchise, which has maintained its standards throughout the years and trends, Insidious is true to its title.

8. The Exorcist: This goes way before ‘The Conjuring’ series and the 1973 scare fest is a hit with all the shadows and different characters. The clash of two opposites is portrayed well by Merrin and Karras. The movie is adapted from a popular novel of the same title and director William Friedkin has done justice to the adaptation.
9. The Omen:
Kids can be scary too, in the really horrifying way. If you don’t believe me, catch up on ‘The Omen’ and then you’ll never forget the most angelic face of the son of Satan. Harvey Spencer Stephens was spectacular and Richard Donner’s direction received critic’s acclaim.
10. The Grudge: An American nurse and a ‘don’t go into that house’ plot is all too clichéd, right? Well, it can still be scary- in 2004 and now. The movie was such a hit that ‘The Grudge 2’ and ‘The Grudge 3’ followed with a lot of inspiration from the Japanese films: Ju-on.
