Part of

Dabbe Collection

The Dabbe (D@bbe) Collection is a Turkish supernatural horror franchise created by Hasan Karacadağ. Blending found footage and mockumentary storytelling, the films explore djinn, demonic possession, black magic, and Islamic folklore through investigations, recovered recordings, and exorcism cases. While each installment tells a standalone story, they share a common mythology and have become one of the most influential and internationally recognized found footage horror series from Turkey.
