Its essence lies in the fact that the famous Murrow will study the nature of human fear under special conditions. For this, all participants are transported to a gloomy Gothic castle with rather strange inhabitants. This palace was built by a tycoon for his wife and children, but all his babies died even during childbirth. Soon the beloved died, but he continued to expand the living space and build new rooms in the castle.

The place is covered with legends, terrible stories, thanks to which it was chosen for the experiment. Only Dr. Murrow did not know that in fact there are quite a few disembodied residents in this house, and they will be able to cause natural fear without appliances. The tape was released in 1999 and collected at that time over 91 million dollars, which was quite an impressive figure.

Eighth place

The eighth position in this top of the box office of horror movies "Warner Brothers" and other studios took a masterpiece called "Sleepy Hollow." The events of the secret history described in the painting begin at the end of the eighteenth century. From New York, a young detective is sent to a small town where mysterious murders take place. Residents of the settlement repeat that for the victims a horseman without a head and with a huge sword hunted.

The Constable did not believe this story and decided to get to the truth. He managed to find out that behind the old legend lies a terrible truth. The rider without a head exists, and does not intend to stop his murders. Everyone who ventured to throw a challenge to this creature was found beheaded in different places. A mysterious detective story about a small town and mysticism strongly liked the audience in 1999. The picture has collected 101 million dollars and has overtaken the previous competitor which has appeared on screens at the same time.

Continuation of the rating

The first two parts of the "Scream" series rank sixth and seventh in the rating of the highest grossing horror films in the history of cinema. Both paintings collected a little more than a hundred million dollars and were remembered by the audience with an incredible heat of passion. The first story tells about the life of ordinary school children, to which the maniac begins to molest. Harmless calls turned into persecution and soon the first victims appeared. The town soon swept a whole wave of brutal murders and massacres of people. In the center of the story was Sidney - an ordinary girl who lost her mother and close friend. It was her chosen by her next victim a maniac.

In the second part of the series, the heroine entered college and tried to forget about the past, but the story was much promoted. The society read books about horror in Woodsboro and even watched movies. It was not long before the image of the killer in the mask returned. Sidney does not know whether he is the same person or his ideological heirs, and therefore begins to suffer paranoia. Every counter-it seems to be an enemy, and the desired calm completely vanished.

Did not hit the top three

The fifth and fourth place in the list of the highest-grossing horror films was divided into "Interview with a Vampire" and "Curse" respectively. They collected almost equal amounts of money, and therefore settled close to each other, although they differ in the manner of the production.

The first tape tells the story of a desperate man. Once he had a unique opportunity in life to become a vampire, and he agreed. Immortality promised deliverance from all problems, but there was another - loneliness. The hero began to worry about the proximity to ordinary people and the humanity of his actions.

The film "Curse" is a classic of Japanese horror in American processing. Once upon a time in the old house was sealed the ancient evil. Their victims innocent people captivated the curse, but it again broke out. A young American in Tokyo frees the monster, and he captivates her body. As long as the evil inside her is gaining strength, in order to escape to the open world, people close to her try to find a way out and save the woman. His place in the ranking of the highest-grossing horror movies Warner Bros. and other studios deserved for a quality presentation of really terrible events.

"Call"

Bronze won an American remake of the Japanese masterpiece "Bell" in the rating of the highest grossing horror films Warner Brothers. "Elephants" in its time created the same furore as this horror film, but this picture is a completely different genre, and therefore it was not included in the list. "Bell" tells the story of an ordinary journalist, who was interested in rumors about an incredible videocassette. The legend says that everyone who watches this record will soon die. Deaths go by the same scenario: the bell rings, the voice from that side of the wire announces that the person has to live exactly seven days, and the connection breaks off on this.

For a long time, the journalist was looking for a tape and was able to find it. Together with his son, they decided to see what is shown there. They checked the old record to the end, and suddenly the phone rang in the house. The script was repeated with the main character and her child. Now they have very little time to find out the causes of the mysticism that is taking place.

Silver rating

On the second deserved place of the top of the box office of horror movies is the picture "The Witch of Blair: course from the other world." She collected 140 million dollars and moved away from the nearest competitor, but to the first place she did not have much more. The plot is similar to the documentary tape, because it is based on the materials of the shooting of three students who disappeared in the woods near Berkittsville, which used to be called Blair.

These guys filmed a course project in this place, and the theme chose the life of Eli Cadworth. This woman in the late eighteenth century was found guilty of witchcraft and expelled from the city in the midst of a fierce winter. This story is shown in the form of an insert to the storyline. The picture was not in vain included in the category of "horrors", because the events that preceded the disappearance were really frightening. Three students were never found, even their bodies were not found by search units on the territory near the city.

First place

The most grossing horror film in the world was the picture of director Joe Dante called "Gremlins." She deserved gold for her ambiguous scenario. It was thanks to an unusual presentation that the audience went to the cinema to watch this masterpiece. So the tape earned almost 150 million dollars and was liked by many people. It is told in the film about a surprisingly small creature that has the property of turning into a real monster. There are no similar animals on earth, so his master tried various methods of behavior with him, which led to various unforeseen situations. In this picture, the rating can be considered finished. It should be taken into account that only pure cult representatives of the genre were included here, without the impurities of other elements.
