What the Data Says: Producing Low-Budget Horror Films

Smart, data-driven decisions can help independent producers succeed so we have crunched the numbers on what to make and how to make it. For this article, we looked at the horror genre. Specifically, horror films budgeted between $500,000 and $5 million, released in North America 2000 – 2016.

Our data, statistics and modelling resulted in five quick takeaways on the horror genre. They are:

1. Horror movies are the most profitable genre
2. …but also the riskiest genre
3. Quality doesn’t matter all that much
4. Your release will either be very wide or very small
5. Horror audiences are more likely to be working class
