Many people expected these classic horrors to be flops upon release, from The Exorcist to M3GAN to Freddy Krueger's franchise Nightmare On Elm Street.
While some horror movies were always destined to be box office hits, a lot of the genre’s biggest financial successes were written off as inevitable flops before their release. Horror is a popular genre among studio executives and filmmakers alike. Since horror movies have historically been cheap to produce, they tend to provide filmmakers with a pretty low-risk investment opportunity.
9 The Terminator Nowadays, it seems impossible to imagine a time when studios would bet against the creator of Avatar and its sequels. However, in 1984, James Cameron was an inexperienced director with only Piranha 2: The Spawning to his name. As such, when the sci-fi horror went over budget, The Terminator’s production company Orion Pictures refused to give Cameron any more money.
6 Terrifier 2 2016’s Terrifier was not for horror neophytes. A grimy, brutal, hard-R indie horror hit with tons of gratuitous violence and no major names, Terrifier was a discomfiting watch that haunted even experienced horror fans. As such, Terrifier 2’s cinema release seemed like a terrible idea when the movie’s predecessor went straight to streaming, the sequel still had no known actors, and Terrifier 2 was saddled with a 138-minute runtime.
