On Halloween weekend, movie audiences are in the mood to scream, and that’s good news for the producers of one of the movies at the top of the box office right now, Paranormal Activity, it was cheap to make, and it's bringing in big bucks 1, so what makes frightening flicks 2 such good business? NBC’s Miguel Almaguer explains.
Standing 3 here.
Feel the breathing of me.
It's what moviegoers want.
My hands are shaking, ‘Cause I’m really scared.
And what so many expect this Halloween: A frightening love affair with horror, the cold classic Halloween is over 30 years old. Movie studios count on cheap thrills to bring in big bucks. Take Saw, a serial 4 killer 5 who dreams up inventive ways to murder his victims. It’s now when its 16th storming and it remains 6 one of the most successful franchises 7 in movie history.
There is a built-in audience that at this time here, wants to go to the movies, and they want to be scared, these films delivered that.
It’s not just blockbusters that can make a fortune, even though most major films have the big studio behind them, when it comes to an old-fashion scare, it does cost millions to make millions.
Do you think there is something in the house, I don't know.
You believe me right?
The suspense 8 thriller 9 Paranormal Activity, cost only 15,000 dollars to make, but it’s made nearly 17 millions since it has released in September. In a new marketing 10 ploy 11, the studio used the internet to generate bucks, asking fans across the country to demand screaming in their hometown. Soon cities like Orlando, Austin and Chicago had sell-out shows.
They have to find it, you can’t sell it.
John Penny and Jeffrey Obrow know a finger to about horror movies. They made Bram Stoker’s the Mummy, in 1997.
It is the same, as a roller coaster ride, it’s adrenaline rush.
And that would keep John in those long lines this weekend, the only thing scarier than these movies is how much money they’ll make.
