Welcome
Hello. If you're anything like me, you're interested in how well horror movies are doing at the box office. This is not because I confuse popularity and financial success with quality, as some people seem to do. Rather, it is because I believe that the commercial success of horror movies measures the public awareness of the genre (and awareness is a good thing), and that commercial success means more genre movies will be made in the near future. It is also fun to analyze data, so basic quantitative analyses will appear here. If you're interested in box office data, I've put together a tool with updated data so you can analyze budgets and grosses (U.S. opening weekend, U.S. total, foreign, total, and grand total) yourself. Click on the "Horror Movie Budgets and Grosses" link under "Scary Pages" to the left (if the list of pages isn't available, you might have to click the menu button to the left). Have fun playing with the data!
