TIME article on Saw

"Saw came and conquered" by Richard Corliss of TIME magazine lends an interesting look into the audience of horror movies. Corliss explains that in the year 2006, 10 out of 18 horror film released were the weekends top grossers. And the main demographic for these movies? Teenage boys.

Corliss also mentions how horror films almost always cost less and make more in relation to their big-budget production counterparts. For instance, he notes that Final Destination 3, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning and The Hills Have Eyes all trumped Clint Eastwood's Flags of Our Fathers on the opening weekend.
