Kanchana 2 Spl: Top 10 Horror Movies Ever Made In Tamil!

There was a time when Tamil cinema fabricated back to back horror movies that would really spook the audience. But that trend is slowly on its way out, thanks to the origin of a new genre, horror-comedy.

While many horror-comedy movies are tasting success, it is also making sure that quality horror movies are becoming a thing of the past as far as Kollywood is concerned.

Kanchana 2 Spl: Top 10 Horror Movies Ever Made In Tamil!

Good horror movies are still being watched and appreciated all over the world and it is time Tamil directors and producers take a note of it to come up with more out and out horror movies.

While movies like Yaar and Pathimoonam Number Veedu were made in the past, it has become very difficult to spot such movies today as more often than not two extreme genres join hands to make a horror movie, Pisasu and Kanchana being good examples.
