16. FREDDY VS JASON- 63 points

The 2003 film combining a nightmare on elm street and Friday the 13th had a massive opening but fell quickly due to the film not being that good supposedly. But it's so high OW inspired other hybrids such as alien vs predator. It is rotten on RT with 41%

Nominated for 9 awards with 3 wins for music, make-up and Robert Englund

AND HERE IS THE LAST TIE

14. SCREAM 4- 66 points

The 4th entry that bombed at the box office is the only scream entry to make this list earning over double the points of scream 3.

Nominated for 2 awards including 1 win for best horror poster at the golden trailer awards and 1 nomination for choice movie: horror at the teen choice awards.

 

14. DAWN OF THE DEAD- 66 points

The horror film that kicked of the zombie genre again, made a name out of recent Superman director Zack Snyder and got a 75% approval rating on RT. It is one of the few zombie movies to gross over 100M at the WW box office. This remake is thought of well by horror fans.

Nominated for 11 award including a win for best horror/thriller at the golden trailer awards and 2nd place at the Fangoria awards

13. THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL- 67 points

It is a 2009 horror movie based on a true story that did not make much at the box office [101,215] but is received well as a good film to watch as a scare. This was also one of Greta Gerwig's first role. It had a great RT score with 86%.

Nominated for 9 awards with 4 wins with 3 coming at Screamfest and 1 for best feature film at the Birmingham Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival.

The Swedish horror based on the novel of the same name was a massive critical hit and another foreign horror hit that is being known as a modern horror classic.

Sam Raimi returned to horror after the Spider-Man franchise finished [well the first one anyway], this horror made 3x it's budget back at the box office with a quite good box office run.
