Who isn’t curious about the unknown? We have all grown up listening to scary stories from our friends and siblings about the things we know so little about. Whether you believe in the existence of ghosts or simply deny it, watching a good horror movie still gives us the creeps!

After all, nothing says movie night as a protective pillow castle, a gory movie with jump scares and your wild imagination!

If you’re someone who loves good storylines with a paranormal twist, here’s an amazing list to binge-watch during the lockdown!

Top 13 Horror Movies To Binge-Watch During The Pandemic!

1. Annihilation!

Annihilation is not a classic horror movie with jump scares and crazy monsters, it’s something more complex, it’s a science fiction horror movie, where a former soldier played by Natalie Portman goes to Area X to find out what happened to her husband. Well, the catch is Area X has a shimmer, a sinister thing that is destroying and expanding at the American coastline. What exactly it is and what happened is something you have to discover for yourself! 

2. The Shining!

The Shining is based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King and is one of the best pieces of cinematography out there.

It is a psychological horror based on a family who goes to a hotel with a terrible past where jack starts losing his sanity or maybe it’s something else that’s changing him. The whole movie has a creepy vibe surrounding it which makes it just unsettling. If you love reading between the lines or are into really good cinematography this one’s perfect for you.

3. Midsommar!

Midsommar a masterpiece directed by Ari Aster has so many details and is an experience that you’ll keep on interpreting till the very last minutes. There are only two options, either you’ll smile or you’ll wonder what it all meant. Midsommar is a horror story based on a cult that poses to be harmless in the start but has its strange and creepy practices. A couple visits the midsommar festival and ends up experiencing something beautiful and gruesome at the same time.

4. The Babysitter!

If you’re not into intense horror, this one’s perfect for you. It’s a horror-comedy based on Cole’s experience. When his parents hire a babysitter (who is hot!) Cole bonds with her only to discover that she’s part of a satanic cult. What happens next is a comedic and horrific turn of events that will make you braced to your seats. I’ll recommend not watching the sequel though. (Not that good!)

5. The Exorcism of Emily Rose!

 This is one of the movies that made the audience choose sides. Based on a true story about Anneliese Michel, a German woman who the doctors claimed had epilepsy while the priests claimed to had been possessed by the devil himself makes it more horrifyingly real. The real audio recordings of Exorcism are still on the internet which makes the experience more creepy. Was it the devil or was it her disease that led to the strange events is still unexplored. If you watch it, let me know your interpretation in the comments!

6. Tumbbad!

A masterpiece that remains etched in our minds forever, that’s tumbbad for you in short. The movie is a period drama based on a mythological story of a goddess and her firstborn. When a family falls for the cursed wealth and start worshipping Hastar the monster, things take a very ugly turn, because everything has a price. Driven by greed, this movie has everything in it, strong emotions, horror, jump scares and even a message. I found the first half extremely scary!

7. The Conjuring!

Who hasn’t watched this classic horror movie that is probably the most loved in its genre? If you haven’t, you probably should. The story is based on a family which is possessed by a demon. The cinematography, the storyline, the horror elements are way ahead of their time. You’ll love the experience of classic horror with this one!

8. The Ring!

Based on the novel “Ringu” by Koji Suzuki, it’s one of the movies that will keep you hooked to the screen. The story revolves around a tape that contains weird images and videos that once watched, lead to a creepy phone call foretelling the person’s death in just 7 days. The methods of death and the story behind the tape is interesting and scary to watch. I hope you don’t get a call while watching this movie!

9. The Boy!

If you love movies with scary dolls, the boy is one such movie but with a sinister twist!

The story revolves around Greta who accepts the job of a nanny in a gothic storylike house but to her surprise, the boy isn’t a real boy (or is it?) The couple treats the doll as a boy and had strict institutions to be followed while taking care of him. Once they leave Greta with the boy and went on a vacation, things take a creepy turn and the doll comes alive. What makes the movie worth watching are the jump scares and the twist at the end.

10. The Ritual!

After the death of their close friend, four friends go for a hike in the Scandinavian wilderness where they reflect on their held emotions only to encounter something sinister. One wrong turn leads them to a mysterious forest where an ancient evil awaits them. The feeling of escaping makes your adrenaline rush, and the fear of the unknown along with the curiosity keeps you glued to the screen. Will they survive a force so evil or will they become part of the ritual?

11. Bulbbul!

One of the must-watch films based on 19th-century Bengal and a story about a chudail, bulbbul has a strong storyline along with perfect music and a red aesthetic to symbolise the horrors. The story is based on a girl married off at a young age, always smiling as she grew up and fulfilled responsibilities as her husband left. Haunted by her past trauma, she has a secret within, meanwhile, there is news of abusive men in the village dying. The story behind the deaths is something worth watching. The story also has a lot of feminist views along with a strong message which makes you think if the real monsters are disguised as humans everywhere.

12. IT!

Based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King, IT revolves around Pennywise the clown who takes the form of your worst nightmares. Pennywise has only one goal to torment children and to feed on them. Can the group of seven children with their fears defeat an ancient evil who feeds off of it?

It also has a second part and it’s worth watching!

13. The Nun!

The Nun revolves around the unholy secrets of the order. When a priest and a novitiate are sent to investigate a nun’s suicide, the story becomes more intense revealing a demonic nun. The storyline along with the setting makes it creepy. Overall it’s a good watch if you love classy movies with jump scares.

Ready for the binge-watch? Get your popcorn ready, a hand (or a pillow to hold) and get ready to immerse into the world of nightmares. I hope you get the chills while watching these!

It is said by ancestors that girls are born in those houses where people can nourish them. But nowadays all these things are seeing to be going far apart from the life of people. Today women are too busy with their chores and responsibility that they forget to raise their children. Thus, they are not having any idea how their child is going back and feeling lonely. At an early age, a girl is feeling depressed and lonely due to a lack of her mother’s love and attention which is a sign of a bad role model.

Endowment plans have similar characteristics like life insurance, apart from the fact that endowment plans provide you with the combined benefits of both – insurance and investment. It’s a double-benefit plan for you that provides a guaranteed sum on maturity and your unfortunate demise to your dependents.

The policy provides you with a lump sum amount of money in both the former-mentioned aspects. On top of that, it also provides you consistent and periodic payments to help you enjoy the benefits of this endowment policy while you’re alive. If you manage to pay the premiums regularly for a certain period, you can enjoy several applicable bonuses and additions along with the assured sum accrued during the term of your plan. It’s ideal for encouraging disciplined savings as well.

Benefits of Endowment Plans

1. Regular Savings

During the tenure of this policy, you need to pay a specified amount in the form of regular premium payments in specified timeframes. This encourages an approach to savings as well as living a disciplined and financially stable lifestyle.

2. Riders and Additional Benefits

A lot of insurance companies offer endowment plans along with several additional benefits such as double endowment plans and marriage endowment plans or education endowment plans. Moreover, you can also choose from numerous riders such as critical illness and surgical assistance.

3. Guaranteed Bonuses

With every endowment policy, you can avail an annual bonus that’s paid as a percentage of the assured sum, depending on the size of your contract. Additionally, if you live throughout the tenure of the policy, you can receive additional bonuses along with the assured sum.

In case of your unfortunate and untimely demise, the death benefit along with the complete assured sum will be paid to your selected nominee incorporated with a total accumulated bonus to make the benefits even better.

4. Dual Benefit

Endowment plans are known for their two-in-one benefits of insurance and investment. In addition to the total assured sum in case of your sudden death, you can also receive a lump sum amount upon the maturity of your plan in case you survive till the end of the tenure of your policy.

5. Tax Benefits

The most prominent advantages of endowment policies include tax benefits and deductions according to the Income Tax Act of India under section 80C and 10D on the annual premium and the death benefit offered by the plan.

6. Safety

Although you may feel that the returns offered by endowment plans are lower as compared to other investment instruments, it keeps your capital safe from the volatile conditions of the market and allows you to stay risk-free with the assured sum.

7. Compounding Returns

There’s a reason why everyone considers compound interest as the eighth wonder of the world! With a good policy, you can easily beat inflation and make your future financially secure with returns fetched on a compounding basis.

8. Flexibility in Premium Payments

Endowment investment policies also allow you to pay your premiums all at once and take the benefit of the policy in the long run. Moreover, even if you stop paying premiums after a certain period, you can still secure a lower sum using a free paid-up policy.

9. Loan Approval

When you purchase an endowment policy, you can use it as collateral to take a loan from banks whenever required. It’s accepted by a majority of financial bodies, as well as banks, located in India.

Different Types of Endowment Plans

Broadly speaking, there are two major types of endowment policies available in the market – ‘with profit policies’ and ‘without profit policies’. These two categories are further classified into different variations of endowment policies to help you choose the desired plan as per your requirements.

Here is a list of several different types of endowment plans available in India:

  1. Full Endowment Plan
  2. Endowment Assurance Policy
  3. Limited Payment Endowment Plan
  4. Low-Cost Endowment Policy
  5. Double Endowment Plan
  6. Joint Life Endowment Policy
  7. Non-profit Endowment Plan
  8. Unitized with Profit Endowment Policy
  9. Unit-Linked Endowment Plan

These plans can be used to help you achieve all your financial goals in your life such as paying for a child’s education or the child’s marriage, whole-life financial protection for your nominee, life savings, retirement, and so on. So, make sure you consider and evaluate the policies carefully and thoroughly before making your pick.

Who Should Purchase Endowment Policy?

If you’re a person with a consistent and regular stream of income, looking to gain a good amount of money after a specified timeframe, then an endowment policy certainly fits the bill for you. The plan is ideal for salaried people like doctors, lawyers, techies, etc.

It helps you achieve your financial requirements in the long run. Furthermore, if you’re worried about the market’s risks and volatility and need a good investment plan that assures you to be risk-free then you should also consider investing your capital in an endowment plan.

Additionally, as these plans are long-term by nature, a stretched policy period will ensure that you gain the maximum benefits. It’s believed that the long-term approach helps you to make the most out of your investment capital and allows you to gain maximum returns.

Things to Consider Before Choosing an Endowment Plan

It’s a wise decision to choose an endowment plan that sounds easy and simple. When you consider looking at policies with complex benefits and features, you may get overwhelmed with such a large chunk of information, especially when you have no idea about it at all.

Moreover, make sure you thoroughly go through the documents provided by your insurer before zeroing in on any policy. This allows you to prevent from making any mistakes that you might regret later during your policy tenure.

The Takeaway

If you’re looking for an investment scheme that offers you more than just a life cover, this is the perfect match for you. Along with proper insurance coverage, the endowment policies also offer you long-term wealth creation and regular-based savings. Even though the returns are quite low, your capital is completely safe from the volatile and irregular conditions of the market and hence, you can live a peaceful life.

Okay, stop daydreaming now and grab that book you’ve always wanted to read and immerse yourself in the alternate World that it offers.
