Box Office Mojo is a website that tracks the box office revenue made by movies.
| As you can see, none of the highest grossing films of all time are horror movies, and there is no way to organise solely by horror on Box Office Mojo, instead you have to organise by horror sub-genre, so it's not so easy to figure out what kinds of movies made the most money compared to other ones. |
As you can see, horror comedies can make just as much money as a supernatural horror in most cases, in some cases, like The Amityville Horror vs Gremlins 2, they can even make more money on the opening night! And I'm certain everyone reading this has head of ghostbusters before, this shows how great an impact a comedy horror can have on pop culture. Consider for a moment the amount of money Ghostbusters has made outside of the cinema / box office, it would easily topple any of the supernatural horrors listed in the top thirteen!
