What Horror Movie Is Your State Obsessed With?

Streaming Observer has done the dark lord’s work and compiled a list of each state’s favorite horror movie. Here’s how they compiled the data:
The results are interesting. For one thing, some movies – The Silence of the Lambs, Shaun of the Dead, and The Exorcist, for example – rank as #1 in multiple states. And certain states tend to gravitate towards horror films set in their specific locales. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is big in Texas, for instance.
It’s an overall fun list, and it’s also made up almost entirely of big, popular, studio-driven horror. There are a few exceptions, though. Tennessee, for instance, seems to love A24’s indie horror film The Witch. Illinois is really into Ti West’s slow-burn The House of the Devil. Wyoming can’t get enough of The Babadook. And California loves the Spanish horror film The Orphanage.
Here’s the full list. See what horror film your state loves, and judge them accordingly.
