- Ugh! "Hiya, Georgie!" - No! This is such a good movie!
♪ (industrial intro) ♪
- (FBE) I hope you're feeling spooky today...
- Oh my god. Always! This entire month!
The entire, like, up until December, I'm all spooky. (chuckles)
- (FBE) ...because today, we're gonna be looking at 10
of the highest grossing horror/scary movies
of all time in the US. - Oh my god. I'm so excited.
- No! I'm about to walk out right now. I cannot do scary.
- I hate scary movies, but I have to watch them.
It's like a weird addiction. - (FBE) So, we're gonna see
if you can correctly place them in the order from highest grossing
to least grossing. - Oh, okay!
- But putting them in order is gonna be hard,
'cause I feel like sometimes horror movies don't do as well
as people think they do money-wise. - (FBE) The list was put together
by Forbes using Box Office Mojo, but what constitutes a horror movie
does change from person to person, so you'll see various horror subgenres
also reflected on the list. - Mm. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
I feel you, 'cause sometimes there's horror versus scary.
Horror, to me, is more gruesome and brutal.
And scary could be something just psychologically thrilling.
So, there's a lot of different variations.
- All right. I'm excited though, because I feel like I have
a really good general idea of horror and the history of horror,
so I think I'll be all right. - (FBE) So, you ready to get spooked?
- Yeah, let's get spoopy! - (Beverly) To the losers.
- Ooh, IT: Chapter Two! - You guys coming off with a banger
right off the bat, the big ones.
- Overhyped movie. It wasn't that great.
- They're older now. - Man. Flashbacks.
- Oh, Bill Hader, though! - (Beverly) Pennywise.
- The casting, mwah. - Yo, this is why I hate clowns.
- (Bill) We can't let it happen again. - Why would you even go in there?
That's...
- (Pennywise) Hello. - Ugh! "Hiya, Georgie!"
- I feel like I need to get into IT.
I haven't seen any of them, and people are not stopping
talking about it, no pun intended.
- I feel like I haven't heard of a lot of people,
at least that I know, go see It the way everyone
saw the first one. - I feel like since it was
really recent, I don't think it has enough time to become
the number one most grossing of all time.
I'm gonna put it at number seven. - I'll put it at eight.
- I'm gonna put it at nine. - I'm gonna put it, like, fourth.
- (voice-over) Somewhere between... - The Exorcist.
- Now we're talking! Original Exorcist. Damn.
- Yo, I heard this is based off a true story.
That's why it's like....
(flame whooshes) - (woman gasps)
- (voice-over) The world of... - I feel like this has been back
in theaters probably so many times for reruns and stuff too.
- This was my very first horror film. - To me, I think this is
the most famous scary movie of ever.
- Haha, it's so old.
- My mom couldn't-- said she can't watch scary movies because of this.
- (voice-over) The only hope. - Ahead of its time.
- (voice-over) The exorcist. - The exorcist. This has to be
a big one, 'cause that's just one of those household scary movies,
I think, but this whole list is gonna be like that. (laughs)
- I didn't watch this for years, because I was fully of the belief
that if I watched demon [bleep] that I'm welcoming demon [bleep]
into my house. - The Exorcist is an iconic movie.
This seems way scarier than anything I've seen recently.
I'm gonna say number three. - That was debatably,
especially for an older generation, the scariest movie of all time.
But typically, those don't do insanely good at the box office.
I'm gonna say seven. - So, I'm gonna put it at three.
- (voice-over) Ghosts... - Ooh, Ghostbusters!
- OG Ghostbusters? Ooh! Bill Murray, boy!
- (voice-over) Ghosts... - (chuckles) "Ghosts."
- (Janine) Hello, Ghostbusters. - Busters.
- (voice-over) They're mean. - See, these are older, though.
- Get 'em, boy! Don't cross the streams!
- It's interesting, 'cause I wouldn't necessarily
consider this a scary movie. - See, this is having
way too much fun for a scary movie.
- (voice-over) ...catch the ghosts that won't stay dead.
- I love Bill Murray! This was one of his best movies.
He's so good. - God, that had to have made
a crap ton of money. - That theme slaps still.
♪ (hums theme) ♪ - There has to be a reason
why it's had such a major legacy that it has, so it has to be
pretty high on this list. I'll put it at four for now.
- I'ma put it at five. - Honestly, I don't know much
about that. I'ma say it's at six. - I'm gonna say three. Ghostbusters!
- (Claire) There's a ghost in my house.
- What Lies Beneath? I don't know if I've seen this.
- I've never seen this film.
(loud bang) - Ah, hell-- no!
- (Norman) I had an affair with her. She came out here to the house.
- Oh my god. Harrison Ford? What the heck?
- (Claire) Get out! - This [bleep] is spooky, bro.
- (Norman) It's not too late. - (Claire) You had an affair
with a girl who killed herself. - Ooh, this looks really good.
- "He was the perfect husband." - "Until his one mistake...
followed them home!" ♪ Dun, dun, dun! ♪
- I feel like this is a Lifetime movie on steroids.
- This is why you don't cheat, people. You never know what's gonna happen.
- "What Lies Beneath." It lies beneath all the other numbers.
- It's like a play on words. Like, what lies beneath.
Mm, see? Marketing. - I feel comfortable
putting this at a 10. I'm not super familiar with this,
and I really haven't heard of it before.
- For now, I'm going to put it at number 10.
- I'll put it at 10.
- Jaws?! - Ooh, Jaws. Okay, actually,
I think this is either one or two. - This might be the biggest one
of all time, because I don't go into the ocean 'cause of this movie.
- Oh, this has gotta be up high. I refuse to watch this movie.
- (Brody) You're gonna need a bigger boat.
- That is a scary movie though, because it caused one
of the largest fears ever. - (voice-over) None of man's
fantasies of evil can compare... - Wow. This still freaks me out.
♪ (suspenseful music) ♪ - Oh, a lot of classic horror films
up here. Jaws has to be way up there. They have a universal ride.
They've done so many sequels. They just can't kill
this [bleep] shark. - This is a movie that came out
in the '70s, and it still sticks with people today.
That's the crazy thing to me. People are afraid of the ocean
because of this movie. - I know this one made a lot of money.
But I know newer movies make more money. (laughs)
Whatever. We'll put it at one. - I'm gonna put this at five.
- Okay, I'ma put it at three, 'cause I know that's a classic too.
- (Cole, whispers) I see dead people. - Ooh, The Sixth Sense.
- Of course. - Ah, this was such a big twist.
- (Cole, whispers) Walking around like regular people.
- Haley Joel Osment. - (Malcolm) Are you sure
they're there? (thunder crashing)
- (Cole) Sometimes you feel it inside...
- This was such a good film. - (Cole) You ever feel the prickly...
- Ah, I should watch this. It's on Netflix. (laughs)
I need to watch it again. - (Malcolm) Yes.
- (Cole) That's them. - This one was creepy, though.
- (Cole) They get mad. It's get cold. That's them.
- I'm about his voice. - (Cole) They get mad.
- No! - I'm feeling some stuff
on my neck right now. - (Cole, whispers) All the time.
- Oh my god. What a frickin' twist, dude.
That was one of the biggest twists in cinematic history.
- It's definitely one of those quotable movies.
When you hear, like, "Oh, I see dead people,"
you immediately think of the movie. - I think this one is high up.
A lot of people quote this all the time.
I might switch this around later, but I'll put it
at number two for now. - I think that's gonna be
one of the top two. It's so ubiquitous beyond like...
Like, "I see dead people"... like, everyone knows the end
of "Sixth Sense" and most people haven't even seen it.
I'm gonna put it at number one. - (Aaron) Hello, Michael.
- Halloween! - Oh, the 2018 one?
Ah, I don't know how well this did. - I don't-- did this do that well?
- I didn't see the 2018 one. The last one I watched
was from 2008 or something. - Ah! Oh my god, the face!
Ahhh! - (Laurie) He's waited for this night.
- That soundtrack, though! Ooh! - (Laurie) He's waiting for me.
- I never really understood what was scary about stuff like this.
Just walk away.
- Mm. Creepy.
- (Laurie) Get out! Go home! Get inside!
♪ (dramatic music) ♪
- Ah. I love Halloween. (laughs) That's one of those ones
that I hear the music, and I'm like, "Yeah!" (laughs)
- They're doing another one. This bitch still isn't dead.
Like, (chuckles) they're just gonna keep doing it
forever and ever and ever. By the time I'm 90 years old,
it'll be like Halloween: 999 Haunts. - Five? Ugh.
I'm gonna have to do some readjusting.
- For now, I'm gonna put it at number eight.
- I'm gonna put this at number six.
- Eight, because people like the Halloween franchise,
but compared to some of the classics,
I'm not sure it's high up in the ranks.
- (Shorty) I'm gonna tell you all the rules to survive...
- Scary Movie! - The perfect mix between some horror,
but mostly comedy. My type of stuff.
- I've seen this film a million times.
- I can't believe this is in the horror category!
- No, this is definitely a funny movie.
I don't see how this is supposed to be a scary movie.
- (Cindy) I can, um, see your feet. - (laughs)
- (killer) What? Ugh! - Me when I try to scare someone.
(laughs) - Such a 2000 style.
Look at their outfits. - God, I want more of these.
This is actually what I would love a reboot of is give us
more Scary Movies.
- (Cindy) YA! - Shoot.
That has to be a big one, because people who don't
really like scary movies watched it. - I love how funny it is.
I love that it combines elements of horror and comedy.
I love that I can watch it and laugh. I feel like this franchise
has done so well. - I guess I'll put it
at number eight. - I'm gonna put it at seven.
It's more of a comedy than a horror movie.
- (sighs) This is hard. Okay. I'm gonna put it at seven.
- Okay, see? IT 2017. This could be number three.
- Okay, yes. I was expecting this to be on the list for sure.
- I mean, it makes sense, 'cause the first one did so well.
But I heard it's a remake of (shaky) an original.
Oh my god! - (Pennywise) We all float down here.
- This movie made such a comeback, this series. It's crazy.
- God. I probably-- I watched this four times
in theaters. It was so good.
- Ah, I loved it. It's always those movies
where it's like they have an abandoned house and they're like,
"Oh yeah. Let's go check it out." No! (laughs) Run away!
I'ma put this at number one, 'cause that scared the crap out of me.
- IT made a lot of money, which makes me think
that maybe it's number one, because this is huge
and it was so well received. - Yeah, I'm gonna put it at number one.
- I think I saw it in theaters twice for sure.
- So, my extra ticket plus everyone else's ticket...
(laughs) My highest spot open right now is six, so I'll do that.
- No! This is such a good movie! - Get Out!
- Okay. This is what I was waiting for.
- How did I not think this was gonna be on the list?
- The social commentary in this movie's insane.
- Oh, this ain't number 10. There's no way this number 10,
so I have to do some serious rethinking.
- See, and then this is way more psychological
than other horror movies.
- (voice-over) The mind is a terrible thing to waste.
- Oh, god. What a great movie.
- This is an iconic film of this generation now.
- Jordan Peele. They say horror and comedy have similar beats,
and Jordan Peele just... he knows how to do it.
He knows how to do comedy. He knows how to do horror.
- I was definitely expecting this to be on there.
I don't know if it for sure takes the number one spot,
but I know that it's high up somewhere
So, for now, I'll just put it there.
- (sighs) Only spot left, nine. (fake cries)
- Thankfully, my last spot is I have number two,
and I think this fits in pretty well. I don't think this is the biggest
of all time. Maybe it is. But even if I'm wrong,
I'm only one off, which is not that bad.
- (FBE) So, now that you've watched all of these, we're gonna give you
a chance to make changes, so let us know when you're locked.
- I don't feel super confident on any of them.
- I kind of wanna put IT in the number one slot.
- IT is gonna be two. IT 2 is gonna be three.
And then some of the more classic ones are gonna come.
I think What Lies Beneath is gonna be 10.
- I think it's good to go.
- (FBE) In the number 10 spot is What Lies Beneath.
- Oh my gosh! Okay. That was my first guess.
(ding) - (clapping) Damn.
Okay. Watch that be the only one, though.
Okay, hoo! - Okay. That makes sense.
I don't know why I put it at six.
I've never even heard about the movie.
- (FBE) So, number nine is Scary Movie.
(ding) - I put Scary Movie at nine!
I swapped that. (laughs) - Ah! I put it too high up.
- So, I'm already two for two. - Oh, [bleep] yeah! Let's go!
I'm good at this game! (chuckles) - (FBE) Number eight is Halloween.
- Oh! I put Halloween at number nine,
so that gives me a point. - Woohoo! I got that one.
(buzzer) - (clicks tongue) All right. Garbage.
Whatever. - (FBE) Number seven is Get Out.
(buzzer) - Really?
I really thought that that'd be a lot higher.
I almost even snuck that at number one.
- What?! I would've thought that was number one.
(buzzer) - Oh, I was way off.
That's gonna [bleep] [bleep] up. (laughs)
- (FBE) Number six is IT: Chapter Two. - Dude, my list is completely wrong.
But it's okay. - I guess I got one point.
I put IT: Chapter Two at number seven.
(pop) - Damn! I was so, so, off.
(buzzer) - Hm, no. I'm way off.
I'm [bleep], guys. - (FBE) Number five is The Exorcist.
(buzzer)
- Yo. I'm shook. - Oh, I put that at five. Okay!
- Interesting. I was one off, so one point.
- Oh, I had Exorcist at four. (laughs) Okay. Yeah.
Exorcist is such a huge cult classic that I figured it was in top five.
- (FBE) At number four is Ghostbusters.
(ding) - Mm. Yeah, that's--
oh, I got that right! Nice. - Woo! Hit that right on the nose!
Let's go! - Off by one. Okay. Plus one.
Plus one. We're at six right now. Not bad.
(buzzer) - What?! I mean, makes sense.
It's funny so that children can watch it too.
- (FBE) Number three is Jaws. - Oh my gosh! I'm killing the game!
- Yeah! Okay, I got that right. - Jaws at number two! Okay.
- Jaws, really? I felt confident at one for that one. (laughs)
- (FBE) Number two is The Sixth Sense.
(buzzer) - Mm. My initial instinct
about The Sixth Sense was correct, which is that it would
be higher up. - Wow. I was way off.
I put that at eight. - That is crazy.
I really did not think that that movie was that far up.
- (FBE) And finally, at number one is IT.
(ding) - All right. Well, I made
a good-- at least that one was good judgment on my part.
(ding) - Yeah. Yup. I knew it!
Got that top spot, baby. Had to save it for 'em.
- Oh! I got one point. - Two points for IT: Chapter One!
I'm pretty sure that's 10 points. Dude, I frickin' know horror movies!
- (FBE) You beat Tori by one. - Get [bleep] wrecked, Tori! Let's go!
(laughs) Tori loves horror movies too, so the fact that I beat her...
I gotta go gloat a little bit.
