Moviegoers love horror films, and a good spooky flick is always admired by them.

When the Ramsay Brothers shot their film in a real graveyard

Ramsay Brothers' Do Gaj Zameen Ke was touted to be the first Indian horror film with the concept of zombies. The movie was shot in a real graveyard at Mahabhelswar. As per the media reports, the crew faced a strange and unexpected incident. Since the movie was being shot in a real cemetery, they needed to dig a pit for a scene. They took permission from Father and dug at the place which was not used before. Reportedly, they were assured that the place allotted to them was never dug to bury someone. However, to everyone’s shock, they found an actual dead body in the pit, and that left the crew terrified.
