Horror in Telugu cinema has historically functioned as a sub-genre of drama or fantasy rather than a standalone entity. Unlike Western horror’s focus on gore or psychological torment, Telugu horror is deeply rooted in grama devata (village deity) worship, ancestral curses ( Pitru Dosham ), and revenge from the Yakshini (female spirit). The "best" films in this canon succeed by blending supernatural folklore with modern social commentary. | Film | Antagonist | Source of Horror
