Here are the Scariest States by the Numbers [Halloween Treat]
How many times have you watched a horror movie and thought to yourself, “Hey! That takes place in my state/town/area/whatever! That’s pretty cool!” If you live in New York or California then you’re probably pretty used to it, according to ForRent. If you’re in a different US State, then you’re probably, like me, really excited when that happens.
You see, the aforementioned site decided to take both the 100 top grossing horror movies of all time as well as the 100 most critically acclaimed horror movies (there’s probably some overlap there, if I were to guess) and researched where they took place, what kind of spooks were involved, and even which time zones hold the most terrors (Mountain, ya ain’t got shit).
Head on down to see this infographic and then let us know in the comments if your State holds any particular urban legends, creepy characters, or anything similar.

Scariest States According to Movies Created By: ForRent.com
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
