The answer perfectly reflects why scary features should be made in a thrifty fashion.
The Big Picture Horror movies are typically defined as being cheap. There's a reason that the chart of "Most Profitable Movies, Based on Return on Investment" is dominated by cheapo horror titles like The Blair Witch Project, Halloween, and The Evil Dead. These titles can be churned out independently for minimal money, don't typically require costly movie stars to get people's attention, and have the potential to be globally appealing .
‘World War Z’s Massive Budget Came From Production Difficulties and Reshoots Though some outlets have reported that it carried a budget that far exceeded $250 million, World War Z’s official budget per Paramount Pictures is $190 million. That’s still a gargantuan sum for a horror movie. For comparison’s sake, the 2022 horror title Nope was one of the costliest scary movies the year of its release yet it only cost $68 million. That’s roughly a third of what World War Z cost to make.
The Budget of ‘World War Z’ Really Is Ludicrous A little over a decade after World War Z hit theaters, it’s clear the project is a microcosm of the warped thinking that consumed most of Hollywood in the 2010s. Studios in this era began focusing on big swings that could potentially yield immediate Avengers-sized box office hits rather than modest singles and doubles that could be profitable over time.
