Okay, so I wanted to dig into horror movies that are set in Chicago. You know, get a list going, maybe find some new flicks to watch. Here’s how I went about it.
First off, I fired up my computer and opened my web browser. I headed straight to my favorite search engine. I typed in “horror movies set in Chicago” and hit enter. The usual stuff popped up, you know, the big-name sites and some forum discussions.
I started clicking through the search results. I skimmed through a few articles and blog posts, jotting down the names of the movies that kept coming up. “Candyman” was a big one, obviously. I mean, that’s like the Chicago horror movie, right? It’s famous for its creepy story, the urban legend angle, and, yeah, the gore.
- Candyman
- Halloween
I also checked out some real estate site, of all places. Seemed a bit random, but hey, they had a blog post about horror movies set in Chicago. Who knew? They mentioned the usual suspects and had a few interesting tidbits about the local real estate market. I guess even house hunters like a good scare!
Then I stumbled upon a piece by this movie critic, Richard Roeper. Apparently, he’s got a list of the scariest movies set in Chicago. I took a look, and it lined up pretty well with what I’d already found. He’s a professional, so I figured his list was worth considering.
After gathering all this info, I compiled my own list. I made sure to include the ones that were mentioned the most and seemed to have the biggest impact. It wasn’t just about being set in Chicago, but also about capturing that Chicago vibe, you know?
So, that’s pretty much it. I went from a simple search to a curated list of Chicago-based horror movies. It was a fun little research project, and I ended up with a bunch of films to add to my watchlist. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some spooky movies to watch!
