The rise of web series and OTT platforms has given a new lease of life to Tamil horror content. Platforms like , Netflix , and Disney+ Hotstar have produced original Tamil horror content, including web series like "Vishwaroopam" and "Jangly" .

While the horror-comedy remains popular with mass audiences, a parallel wave of "elevated horror" has emerged, driven by the success of the Tamil anthology film (though a crime thriller, it influenced genre storytelling) and specifically the horror anthology Pisaasu (2014) by Mysskin.
