Telugu horror cinema has a rich legacy that evolved from mythological supernatural tales to psychological thrillers and high-budget fantasy horrors. While modern hits like Virupaksha and Masooda dominate recent conversations, the foundation of the genre was built by cult classics that still haunt audiences today.
