The Year of the Horror Movie: 2017 Equals $1 Billion
Fans and readers of iHorror know they can never spend too much money on the things we love, but this year they just threw money at the box office.
We were extra with ticket stubs in 2017, and it’s one for the record books; combined people spent $1.1 billion on the little slips of paper.
ComScore has neatly tallied the numbers for United States revenue resulting from horror movies that made over $5 million.
We have Pennywise to thank for the success because moviegoers are still purchasing tickets for It. Over the past eight weeks, the film has garnered $324 million dollars.
The House of Blum was no slouch at the ticket window this year either. Get Out and Split collectively made $313 million in their runs.
And in a case where a spin-off had mixed reactions, but its sequel went on to critical success, Annabelle: Creation dolled-up the box office with $102 million when all was said and done.
Horror movies are pretty scarce around the holidays as Oscar contenders settle in to appeal to Academy voters.
But never fear, Polaroid will be developing across screens nationwide on November 22 with He’s Out There on December 1, with The Shape of Water on December 8.
All of these titles keeping a safe distance away from a little movie about a Jedi coming out on December 15.

Exclusive Sneak Peek: Eli Roth and Crypt TV’s VR Series ‘The Faceless Lady’ Episode Five
Eli Roth (Cabin Fever) and Crypt TV are knocking it out of the park with their new VR show, The Faceless Lady. For those unaware, this is the first fully scripted VR horror show on the market.
Even for masters of horror like Eli Roth and Crypt TV, this is a monumental undertaking. However, if I trust anyone to change the way that we experience horror, it would be these two legends.
Ripped from the pages of Irish folklore, The Faceless Lady tells the story of a tragic spirit cursed to wander the halls of her castle for all of eternity. However, when three young couples are invited to the castle for a series of games, their fates may soon change.
So far, the story has provided horror fans with a gripping game of life or death that doesn’t look as if it will slow down in episode five. Luckily, we have an exclusive clip that may be able to satiate your appetites until the new premiere.
Airing on 4/25 at 5pmPT/8pmET, episode five follows our final three contestants in this wicked game. As the stakes are raised ever higher, will Ella be able to fully awaken her connection with Lady Margaret?
The newest episode can be found on Meta Quest TV. If you haven’t already, follow this link to subscribe to the series. Make sure to check out the new clip below.

‘Blink Twice’ Trailer Presents a Thrilling Mystery in Paradise
A new trailer for the movie formerly known as Pussy Island just dropped and it has us intrigued. Now with the more restrained title, Blink Twice, this Zoë Kravitz-directed black comedy is set to land in theaters on August 23.
The film is packed with stars including Channing Tatum, Naomi Ackie, Alia Shawkat, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Haley Joel Osment, Christian Slater, Kyle MacLachlan, and Geena Davis.
The trailer feels like a Benoit Blanc mystery; people are invited to a secluded location and disappear one by one, leaving one guest to figure out what is going on.
In the film, a billionaire named Slater King (Channing Tatum) invites a waitress named Frida (Naomi Ackie) to his private island, “It’s paradise. Wild nights blend into sun-soaked days and everyone’s having a great time. No one wants this trip to end, but as strange things start to happen, Frida begins to question her reality. There is something wrong with this place. She’ll have to uncover the truth if she wants to make it out of this party alive.”
