Both Tarot and The Strangers: Chapter 1 box office performances prove something very important regarding the horror genre’s resurgence. Like any genre, horror goes through cycles at the box office. In the 70s, huge hits like Jaws, Alien, and The Exorcist proved the genre was profitable, while the slasher boom of the 80s saw franchises like Friday the 13th, Halloween, and A Nightmare On Elm Street dominate the video store shelves. Later, the meta-slashers of the 90s, Japanese horror remakes of the 00s, and the found footage craze of the 2010s kept the genre alive.
