Low Budget Films That Made More Than Their Money Back

Night of the Living Dead – $114,000 budget

Even though the film came out in 1968, Night of the Living Dead was released in black and white to add to the spookiness of the film. The story found a group of people hiding from monsters in a farmhouse.

At the time of its release, it grossed $30 million worldwide, which was more than 250 times its budget! It made five sequels and is widely considered to be one of the strongest influences in horror today.
