TOP 30 GROSSING HORROR FRANCHISES
Need help deciding which horror films to watch this Halloween? Try some of the horror movies from exclusive list!
To celebrate this Halloween, IHdb has compiled a huge list of the Top 30 Grossing Horror Franchises. Originally we thought of ranking a number of horror-series with our usual practice of taking the average aggregated score of Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic and IMDb, but lets face - there was just no way we'd make everybody happy ranking these films that way! Anyway you look at it, there was going to be a few (or perhaps a lot!) who disagreed with the ranking of the favorite series, so we decided to rank the franchises not popular or critical score, but rather by their performance at the box office. So, for a series to get on this list, it's all about the green!
In all, this list represents 30 horror franchises, including over 200 films, with a total box office gross of nearly $13 billion dollars!
IHdb wishes you all a very Happy Halloween! Enjoy!!!
