Oh, The Horror! - Horror Movie Infograpghic

Movie Horror by Joey Paur

Horror stories have been around forever, and ever since movies were being made there's a been a market for horror films. There's just something about being scared that people love... it's fun and it brings on a awesome adrenaline rush. 

Here's a great infographic that was created breaking down some of the classic horror films over the years, the budget for each film, and how much money each film ended up bringing in. The infographic starts with 1933's King Kong, so unfortunately it completely cuts out all of the classic Universal horror films, and other pre-1933 horror movies. 

It seems like there are more and more horror movies coming out in theaters every day, and that's because there are. These pictures have evolved from black and white silent films, to five-part series jam packed with gory special effects and HD viewing capabilities. People love to feel scared and get their adrenaline pumping for that hour and 45 minutes. They love the suspense; they love to follow a story line and try to figure out the concluding mystery. Whatever the reason may be, it's obvious that the public enjoys their horror films.

Although it gets harder and harder to scare or surprise us, the entertainment industry continues to invent new ways to evoke terror in our hearts. To note a few game-changing films: The Exorcistopened doors to the possibility of being possessed by the devil, we saw one of the first serial killers in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Child's Play will never let us look at a doll the same way.
