Infographic Map Highlights the Horror Movie Each State is Most Obsessed With
With Halloween right around the corner, Streaming Observer was curious to find out which horror movies are hottest in each state, so they went ahead and did some research and whipped up a fun little infographic map of the United States to share their findings with us.
How does one figure out such things, you ask?
The team explains, “Using data from Rotten Tomatoes, proprietary Amazon MTurk surveying, and other public sources, we compiled a list of the most popular horror movies of all time. Then, we partnered with Mindnet Analytics and used Google Trends data to determine which horror movie each state was most obsessed with relative to other states.”
Some of the findings are hardly surprising – Texas Chain Saw Massacre, naturally, is Texas’ favorite horror movie, while the Maryland-set The Blair Witch Project is hottest in, well, Maryland – but what accounts for, let’s say, Drag Me to Hell being so beloved in Mississippi and The Babadook being so popular in Wyoming? Your guess is as good as ours!
Check out the infographic below, along with a heat map that shows general horror movie popularity state-by-state across the United States. It’s all very interesting, if nothing more.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
