What works: Launching a horror show on Amavasya was a terrific marketing move by the channel, as it is considered as the spookiest night of the year. It created buzz even before the actual show started. Each story was presented in a movie style with amazing special effects.

What doesn’t work: After years of making a special place in viewers’ hearts in horror genre, we expected more twisted stories. What we see is same incidents you must have witnessed in thousand horror movies. Scripts should have more substance to it.

Our take: For all the die-hard fans of ‘Horror’ genre, who have been craving to get their dose of spine chilling horror, mysterious happenings and supernatural elements on television the wait is over, here comes a treat for you!! With outrageous stories, bone-chilling ghosts and amazing special effects- Aahat’ is back…so make your nights spookier with this show!!
