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.

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.

The movie features a horrific, irritating creature that creeps you out. And the ‘Papi Gudia’ is there too.
