FAQ

How is "highest grossing" measured?

By worldwide box-office revenue from TMDB. Note that figures aren't adjusted for inflation, so recent horror movies tend to rank higher than older ones.

Are these the best horror movies?

Not necessarily — biggest isn't the same as best. For a quality-ranked list, see the best horror movies page; this one is about box-office scale.
