Why is all burger horror always and invariably set in the red bits? Are these areas naturally spooky? Is it just a tax thing?

Anti white racism / classism makes rural horror easy to sell
>admitting that white culture is just cannabalism and incest
see how Africa is totally white, African Americans bring the US average way down
That is "unknown", dipshit.
because there is not enough data, which means not enough incest, fricking moron.
What year is that map from?
2009
Says right there on the map you blind fool
>arabs and jeets stopped fricking their cousins a few years ago, we're all good now!
>t.
Its not just rural. Rural has nothing to do with it. Its specific spots which happen to be rural, with the exception of NE. Most rural spots don't get horror.
>IM A VICTIM OF OPPRESSION AND RACISM! IM A VICTIM OF OPPRESSION AND RACISM!!
Saying it ironically doesn’t render it untrue.
The four corners is just Native Americans. The deep south is full of Black folk, and new England is full of libshits.
Most paranormal experiences happen in rural bumfrick nowhere.
>most paranormal experiences happen to ignorant inbred hicks
No shit moron
what about sppalachia?
Wrong turn?
Maybe chornyobyil, I feel like there's been a handful of myovies set there.
The Exorcist is set in Washington DC
That red dot over New Hampshire should be over Maine, and that's mostly due to Stephen King having a huge horror boner for Maine.
Poe and Lovecraft paved the ground there
Poe was a Southerner.
baltimore ravens Black person... baltimore is not the south

k but y
gonna have a guess and say witch trials
For the same reason as central Mississippi and west New Mexico, very empty rural nothingness where bodies can disappear easily, monsters cold roam without anyone knowing, and weird families who are kicked out of society scurry off to.
Makes sense the guy was born there after all.
The best writers usually take inspiration from their own lives to craft their stories.
ghosts dont want to haunt cities because they are racist.
umm have you heard of a little movie called frickin GHOSTBUSTERS?
You just made that up.
For the South and New England it may come from adaptations/legacy of literature: the South has Southern Gothic, both Stephen King and Lovecraft set many of their works in New England. With New England there is probably some element of it being home to early European settlement, so it has (for the US at least) a long-history & a sense of it being 'old' that lends itself to horror.
Movies in America are made by artsy cityfolk. Artsy cityfolk are terrified of forests, wilderness in general, and successful cultures they've been raised to hate. Thus all their horror films are about the woods, wild animals, and southerners. If a sane and rational human being in America were to make a horror film, it would be about the government and the useful idiots in the cities that empower it.
>the real horror is walkable cities and cultural diversity
Yes, and the ways in which our owners will use those lies to better control us.
Cultural diversity is a real horror for America and Europe going just off crime statistics yeah
Unironically yes. If you described a troony to me you'd be describing a demon, right down to their True Name giving you power over them.
Go for a walk somewhere there are lots of Black folk then report back.
>If a sane and rational human being in America were to make a horror film, it would be about the government and the useful idiots in the cities that empower it.
So like half of x-files?
Well some of the bit down south is swampland and it can be pretty spooky. I live a bit out of the red but and some dude just got snatched by a croc down by the river. You have Haitian swamp Black person voodoo and whatnot there. As for New England there are just tons of old stories about it dating hundreds of years.
30 Days of Night and The Fourth Kind are set in Alaska.
Arachnophobia is set in California

Do other countries have regions characterized as being horror locations?
NORF of england. The south isn't interesting in the slightest.
Romania has Transylvania.
Japan has Aokigahara Forest but that's more a locale than a region.
There's a decent amount of southern bigfoot movies
And yet, outside of NYC there's only like a handful of fairly recent movies set in and around the Adirondacks, 1 FF in the Catskills and a few set nebulously upstate that could be anywhere from yonkers up.
>oi how come burger burger blimey oi m8?
You're obsessed with America. If that weren't true you wouldn't be here. Ask your question with the reverence and awe you clearly have for this amazing, unique country and *maybe* one of us will share some insight with you.
>Ask your question with the reverence and awe you clearly have for this amazing, unique country and *maybe* one of us will share some insight with you.
Buddy, I live in Ohio. Cincinnati, specifically. What the frick are you going on about describing America, "amazing" or "unique?" We're a shithole. How are you still a flag-waving patriot after the last ten years?
>I'm from Ohio
>What are you going on about?
Wow! What authentic Ohioan slang! And of course you're from Cincinnati. I mean, where else would an authentic red-blooded American living in Ohio be from?
I mean, if I was trying to lie I'd probably say Columbus or Cleveland, considering how commonly those cities come up in searches. Pretty good day, though. Very bright and sunny. If you're going to schizo out on me than I'm not even going to bother. The point is, America sucks ass.
Yeah well frick you too, pal. There's nothing worth admiring about this country other than our overdeveloped war-machine and obsession with Israel.
>Why is all burger horror always and invariably set in the red bits?
Because those places have significant cultural and historical significance to the United States. The red bit in New England is where most Stephen King and Lovecraft was set due to it being lightly-populated and still containing some virgin forest. The red bit around New Orleans is the Deep South and thus heavily romanticized by pre and post-war poets, plus New Orleans is a major trade port due to the Mississippi (a heavily romanticized river in America) so it's easy to get to. The westerly red bit is a more recent addition, but comes from that entire area being a desert mapped and settled during a literary renaissance in America, and since deserts are spooky the region got associated with demons and Satan.
>There's nothing worth admiring about this country
We won. We're the top dogs. Take it for what you will.
we are not though, the country is rapidly collapsing and selling itself to israel and ukraine, Israel won and they are the top dogs
>I just looked up the weather in Cincinnati, Ohio™
>It is indeed bright and sunny here in authentic Ohio™
lol
>humorless bleating about muh Israel
Yep. You're foreign

You really do need to work on your phrasing if you're going to larp as an American. No one here talks or writes gay like this. Might help to not "go on about" random things unnecessarily when you're responding to someone that's already calling you out.
I know since you've consumed American "mediur" since you were born you "fancy" yourself as able to pass, but you really don't.
Not that dude. But you sound completely unhinged. Take your meds and go to bed
I'm not the dude you're responding to either but honestly you should touch grass and have sex.
t. totally objective third party
I had sex in my yard yesterday
t. totally not a lying homosexual
You're from England. You don't have a "yard" and sex requires a loicense.
Nice try, homosexual.
I live in Denver you dickhead
>Denver
lol gay
Sometimes, yeah. Most of the time it’s pretty dope.
I’d like to thank you for all you efforts of gatekeeping our country. You’re the real soldier
Oh that wasn't me. Just commenting on your town. 420blazeit gayet.
I love how everyone claiming to be from America when called-out just happens to live in (or at least identify with) a major city because this is how non-Americans perceive America.
>all your efforst of gatekeeping our country
He's an ESL foreigner on top of it!
Should I have said I live in Akron, OH or Littleton, CO? Would that have been more believable. I’m asking so the next shitposting foreign agent can sneak by you
My moronic foreigner defenses are impetuous. My xenophobia is impenetrable. I have zero concerns any of you moronic, desperate, interloping non-American peasant fricks can "sneak by" me. It's not like you're walking from Guatemala. You're sitting in your shitty "flat" you live in with your "mum" because going to the "pub" to socialize is apparently prohibitive for whatever reason so morons all shit up American-created sites.
Right, lads! You heard the schizo. Pack it in, and we’ll give it another go tomorrow
>lads
I knew it. That's something bongs say.
>we'll
There is no "we" here, tourist.
I've been a tourist here since Tom Brady won his 3rd Super Bowl

Is that the only NFL player a commie foreigner like yourself can come up with? A real American would’ve said Malik Johansson

https://usafacts.org/articles/military-recruitment-is-down/
the military expects to fall short of its goals for the Army, Navy, and Air Force. The Army expects to recruit 55,000 new soldiers in 2023, 10,000 short of its goal. The Air Force also expects a 10,000-person shortfall, and the Navy expects to be 6,000 shy of its goal.
Though the percentage of active duty military members has fluctuated since 2001, it has declined by 39% since 1987, its most recent high.
It isn't.
This is what happens when you let Ohioans talk to normal people.
New England is where the Salem witch trials happened, not hard to figure out why it's a good setting for horror movies
It's also the oldest settled English speaking part of the US, along with Jamestown, which largely failed at first. Old = ghosts
There's tons of LA based horror. And isn't Amityville Horror in Long Island?
Pretty sure Evil Dead are in Tennesse outside that red area.
Do people just ignore movies and facts and spew moron shit out of their ass for clicks?
georgia is definitely a tax thing. tv is dirt cheap to film at and plenty of companies take advantage of it.
>burger horror
Imagine being so yuropoor the food can scare you.
I mean...
Name five horror movies set in New Hampshire
The Witch, Mouth of Madness, The Witch II, Color out of Shape, Childs Play II
>Childs Play 2
Holy shit really?
Nah. But Problem Child 2 is.
The most profitable horror move franchises of all time are not set in those places. Unless you count Jaws, I guess one is in there then. Bareley.
>Halloween and Child’s Play take place in Illinois.
>Friday the 13th and Sleepaway Camp are in New Jersey
>The Exorcist is in DC
>Texas Chainsaw Massacre is in Texas
>Phantasm is in Southern California
>Return of the Living Dead was in Kentucky
>George Romero’s “Dead” movies are almost entirely set in Pennsylvania (with the exception of Day, which is in Florida)
>Evil Dead is in Tennessee
>While it’s not explicitly stated, Raccoon City from the early Resident Evil series is thought to be set in Missouri
>90 percent of Stephen King’s stories are set in Maine
>A ton of horror and exploitation movies are set in New York
>Almost everything involving Sasquatch takes place in the Pacific Northwest
I don’t think you’ve really thought this through.
They’re not, you moron.
looked at a map of new york, did u guys know it is mostly forests there i think? like the sprawling metropolitan area is just a little chunk of it
Yeah that's what people mean when they say "upstate New York," buddy.
ay im walkin hea, bubs
It’s like Illinois. People instantly snap to Chicago when it’s mentioned, but 97 percent of the landmass is either flat farmland, or when you get to the southern third, it’s like a combination of Friday the 13th 1 and 2, and any part of Lord of the Rings when they’re in a forest.
That's about every state. Everything outside cities is farmlands, forests or mountains.
are these forest places cool?
I used to hate it as a kid, but as I’ve gotten older, I see its charm now. It’s in that little section of the country where the flat lands of the Midwest are just starting to give way to Appalachia, so there’s lots of rolling hills, caves, two huge rivers (Ohio and Mississippi), lakes everywhere, cool rock formations, national parks with great hiking trails, stuff like that, and if you want city stuff, St Louis, Indianapolis, and Nashville are a two-hour drive in any direction, and Chicago’s about five.
The best description I’ve heard is “It’s Middle-Earth, but with rednecks instead of hobbits.” The Riverlands in Game of Thrones would be another good visual reference.
Chaps, why do the yanks bully us so much when we post on Cinemaphile? All us lads want to do is post in a place wif no censorship so we won't get put in jail for being offensive, yeah? but the yanks are always bullying us, innit?
Did we really spend out whole loivs consuming Burger cultural farts and have no freedoms to show for it and then be rejected by burgers on top of it all? Can we never start sites of our own and be relevant like the yanks, innit? Yeah?
It's always easier to film in a rural region than an urban one because in the city, you have to get people out of the way. This is why even though the best part of a zombie apocalypse is the outbreak -- most films skip straight to survivors wandering through deserted ruins because it's cheaper.
so you've got
>low desert
>southern gothic
>pastoral pinelands and stephen king maine coast
those are 3 environmental biomes for stories yea
which leaves
>flyover farmland and backwoods hillbillys
>pacific northwest forests and mountains
>LA/NY urban jungle
I think most commonly you get non-descript suburbs and interiors built on a set since the domestic house is the ur-setting for horror, a lot of Toronto/Vancouver/Atlanta for tax exemptions
4 corners area has mexicans, east of texas is full of Black folk. maine has alcoholic coked out pedophiles. Easy horror settings.
>no olympic peninsula
>no mid atlantic pine barrens and woods
>no califa mountains and western mojave
Absolutely trash map.

Most if not all Friday the 13ths and Puppet Masters.

Swamps, inbreds, voodoo
>new england
Dense forests and the oldest part of the country. Deeper history there. Witch trials and other things.
>always and invariably set in the red bits?
Friday the 13th is in New Jersey. Nightmare on Elm street is in Ohio. Halloween is in Illinois. Paranormal activity is set in California. Insidious is in California. Wrong turn is in Virginia. Texas Chainsaw Massacre is set in Montana.
You might just be a moron.
They're Underdeveloped areas so they still have shit like carbon monoxide poisoning, lead in the water, and poor education which are the ideal conditions for creating crazy people
There are *vastly* more crazy people in cities. Your post reeks of "cult of urbanism"
How come its never in the PNW by Idaho? That place alone just feels freaky because nothing happens.
Western white middle class people have been conditioned over hundreds of years to be genuinely terrified of rural working/lower class white people. They fear them and hate them in equal measure, anything associated with working class people is automatically despised. The reason that the middle classes are "anti-racist" is because they view racism as something associated with lower class people therefore being racist makes you lower class adjacent.
The fact that it's only the lower classes who are forced into direct contact with other races on a day to day basis is what makes them racist in the first place, the middle classes can afford to move away.
But that's not where rural conservative White people live. They live pretty much everywhere that isn't highlighted. New England if full of insufferable liberals. The four corners is LITERALLY an injun reservation, and the part of the South is full of Black folk.
You have a really slanted view on "western white middle-class" people or how detached "middle class" is from lower classes.
>The fact that it's only the lower classes who are forced into direct contact with other races on a day to day basis is what makes them racist in the first place
It's funny how you talk about conditioning and stereotypes when you fall into that one.
>Blah blah blah
>Blah blah blah
>Blah blah blah
Did I touch a nerve perhaps?
Middle class shitlibs are so predictable, you know what I'm saying is true so you waffle about some bullshit that goes nowhere.
Do you know what white flight is? Do you think that lower class and working class whites living paycheck to paycheck can just up-sticks and leave because the neighbourhood is going to shit? No, they have to put up with it.
Middle classes are the biggest hypocrites on the planet.
Nah. I work with these types contractor rats in DC, they are exactly like that anon described.
hey, europoor here
can I get that map without the red spots
I like how clean it looks, no roads, no colors
