Indian cinema has long captivated audiences with its horror films, featuring everything from the terrifying ghost of Saamri to the eerie character of Sarkaata. When discussing iconic or cult classic horror movies, one name that stands out is the Ramsay Brothers. Their films have left audiences both thrilled and terrified. Some of their most iconic works include "Purana Mandir," "Veerana," "Do Gaz Zameen Ke Neeche," "Bandh Darwaza," "Purani Haveli," and "Shaitani Ilaaka," all of which have been fan favorites. These movies are known for their haunting characters and gripping storylines, offering a true horror experience.

One such memorable character is Saamri from the 1984 film, who kept audiences awake at night. The ghostly role of Saamri was portrayed by Anirudh Agarwal, who had originally graduated in civil engineering but found his true calling in becoming one of Bollywood's scariest ghosts. Other notable horror films include "1920" and "Raaz," where the female ghosts, like Malini Daman in her debut film, became the talk of the town. Ada Sharma in "1920" and Manisha Koirala in "Bhoot" also left a lasting impact with their eerie performances.Nowadays, horror films like those from the past are rare, with a greater focus on horror comedies like "Bhool Bhulaiyaa," "Munjiya," and the recently released "Stree 2."The character Sarkaata in "Stree 2" was particularly well-received by audiences.
