National Horror Movie Day
October 23 marks National Horror Movie Day, a celebration dedicated to the genre's impact on culture and entertainment. This day honors the birthday of Sam Raimi, a prominent horror director known for the "Evil Dead" franchise. Fans are encouraged to gather and discuss their favorite horror films, reminisce about classic characters, and engage in activities that celebrate the thrill of horror cinema.
The Popularity of Horror Films
The horror genre has seen a significant resurgence in popularity, particularly during October. Recent box office successes include "The Conjuring: Last Rites," which has grossed $482 million globally, and "Sinners," a vampire film that opened to $48 million. As of October 21, horror films accounted for 17.2% of ticket sales in the U.S., a record high. Despite this success, a YouGov survey revealed that horror remains a divisive genre, with 22% of U.S. adults expressing dislike for it, while 48% identify as fans.
