Looking for some best horror web series in Hindi?
Hope you haven’t forgotten those hurried footsteps to the bathroom and back, double-checking on our doors and windows, leaving the bedroom lights on for the rest of the night, chanting prayers under our breaths while we carefully place ourselves in the middle of the bed with our blankets over our face. These are a few things we do after watching an intense horror movie. The experience is horrific and scars us for at least a couple of days, and yet we love to put ourselves through the torture of running away from imaginary ghosts.
If you are a massive fan of the horror genre and a mere hour or two of horror doesn’t get your adrenaline soaring through the roof, then a horror series might be something that could be right up your ally. So, here’s a list of some of the best Indian horror web series that will scare even the bravest soul:
