In a ghastly realm brimming with chainsaws, finger-knives, and infamous masks, one psycho killer slashes above the rest at the box office. Slasher enthusiasts might think it’s one of the timeless classics—and they wouldn’t be entirely wrong—but perhaps not in the way you’d expect. The crown for the highest-grossing slasher movie goes to none other than **Halloween**, specifically the 2018 version helmed by David Gordon Green.
Yes, you heard that right. Despite the classics being showered with endless love and nostalgia, this reboot of the Halloween franchise sliced through the competition and captured the hearts (and screams) of fans, old and new. It turns out that Michael Myers, the unyielding embodiment of Halloween terror, still has what it takes to reign supreme in the horror world.
While Jason might lurk in the shadows of Camp Crystal Lake and Freddy haunts the nightmares of Elm Street, it’s Michael Myers who waltzed back into Haddonfield and into the top spot. This surprise twist in slasher royalty proves that sometimes, you just can’t keep a good psycho down.
