Interesting. I guess Paprika would be considered horror... In that case, it definitely sneaks into my top 10. It would bump out Murder Party.

Wes Craven's Wishmaster
Thinner

which oddly enough grossed $407,732,973 which is $595,165,777 adjusted for inflation. 21 movies make that difference only $86,709,546 granted some of the 31 were only limited releases and some are still in wide release. Just thought these numbers were kind of interesting.
Hmmm... I wonder if that means that the quality of horror is getting better... but... no one cares...

Then again, gross isn't really that much of a gage, especially since most of the ones that I absolutely adored were more limited release than the big ones.

I wonder if it's a good sign that there aren't huge horror blockbusters like there used to be?

I wonder how that reflects on America as a whole - Maybe they choose to internalize fear, pain, and anxiety as oppose to externalizing it in the form of going to see horror movies in the theater.
