Halloween ($300,000 budget)
Whoever thought that a 1978 film with a small budget of $300,000 would start an entire horror franchise that would be watched every Halloween? It’s even been rumored that Jamie Lee Curtis’ wardrobe only cost $100. Halloween went on to gross $70 million – a huge success in the 1970s.
More than 40 years later, it is still considered one of the greatest movies of all time. Did we mention that it has 10 sequels and one scheduled for 2021? It’s clear that the saga is not going to end any time soon.
