Horror comedies have a way of making us feel scared and make us laugh in the next moment. Just like Stree 2! If this is what you're looking for, then this list is for you!
Horror comedy, a genre that masterfully blends fear and laughter, has become an audience favorite genre today. Stree has set a new benchmark with its perfect blend of spine-tingling terror and laugh-out-loud moments. The original, released in 2018, and its sequel that was released last week, have raised the bar for horror-comedies in Indian cinema, proving that two genres that are poles apart in nature can infact coexist in perfect harmony. And if you enjoyed Stree 2, you'll love other popular horror comedies that were rather intriguing to watch.
