Low Budget Films That Made More Than Their Money Back

Halloween – $300,000 budget

The first film that would one day launch an entire horror franchise was made for relatively little money back in 1978. It is rumored that Jamie Lee Curtis’ wardrobe only cost the production $100! Halloween would go on to gross $70 million worldwide – a large success in the 1970s.

Today, it’s considered one of the best horror movies of all time and has 10(!) sequels under its belt. With films coming out as recently as 2018, the franchise shows no signs of slowing down!
