EPISODE 26 - Blockbuster Horror




Horroretc Podcast show

Summary: Down in front and pass the popcorn, let's hit the cinema to take in some box office shattering horror films as we discuss Blockbuster Horror. We are using an unoffical list of the top 25 grossing (domestic) horror films of all time adjusted to 2008 dollars as a crutch to drive a conversation about the impact of revenue on the industry. It becomes evident that box office returns do not necessarily reflect quality of product, however the standing of many widely respected titles gives us some reassurance that even mainstream 'non-horror' audiences can buy in from time to time. You can find the list we are referring to (HERE) but we suggest listening to the show first to play along. Thanks again to Doug for pitching in to what became a very fun discussion. Yet again the show runs long so Schlock Corner makes way for a quick dip into the mailbag and some brief thoughts about The Ruins.
