Horror movies don’t set box office records as superheroes and action blockbusters do, but dollar for dollar, there is no more profitable genre. Horror movies generally have smaller budgets, giving a bigger return on the studio’s investment. That being said, a few horror films qualify as mega-hits.Making a list of the highest-grossing horror movies should be as easy as looking at the box officer numbers, but the genre is so broad that anything containing horror elements could be included. It is fair to exclude horror comedies and psychological thrillers as they already have their own categories, and focus on true horror movies as the top money-makers of the genre. The numbers here come via Box Office Mojo, and they reflect worldwide grosses rather than domestic U.S. figures. They’re also un-adjusted for inflation, which tends to favor more recent movies over older ones. All box office figures are as they stand on January 1, 2024, and may be subject to change.Civilization being destroyed by extraterrestrials seems like sci-fi, but in A Quiet Place, it’s pure horror. The invading creatures are blind but have an acute sense of hearing, so the human survivors mustn’t make a sound, or they’ll be ripped to shreds.
