Bloody nails, semi-clad women and a monster – and you have a horror film poster. Don’t believe us? Check out 8 classic posters of Bollywood horror films that we stumbled upon. Also there’s some information that we could find on the internet. Be warned, the images are graphic in nature!
Khatra
The tag line — ‘The story of a scientist who tried to win death’ — says it all and gives this 1991 film a Frankenstein-like feel.
Andheri Raath
We missed the teeth and almost confused the hairy monster on the right for a man!
Khoon Ki Pyasi
A trishul to ward the evil spirit away, semi-clad women, a grotesque mask and a screaming woman! Would any horror poster ask for more?
Aakhri Cheekh
Yay for the Ramsay brothers! You just can’t concentrate on this poster of with all the screaming faces, random strangling and a poor ghost somewhere in this picture.
Bhayaanak Panjaa
No, we did not ruin the poster with a stain. It’s a genuine one with the blood dripping from a skeletal hand. Note: there are more hands and blood in the poster.
Roohani Taaqat
This 1991 horror film has much more than horror as you can see: there’s a guitar-strumming Romeo (Gurdas Mann) on the poster as well as some comedy with the lantern-holding chap.
Kafan
Did the staring eyes get you? Did that creep you out or was it the decaying teeth? The Kafan poster is definitely a big ‘like’ on our list.
Amavas Ki Raat
A monster who kills women every new moon night: you must have guessed a part of that from the title. Now if you only knew what a mishmash of Hollywood films Amavas Ki Raat was…
So, which was your favourite poster?
