Okay, so the other day I was thinking, “What’s a good way to spend a weekend?” And then it hit me – horror movies! But not just any horror movies, I wanted something with a bit of local flavor. That’s when I decided to dive into “Louisiana horror movies.” Let me tell you, it was quite the ride.
Digging for Movies
First things first, I needed to find these movies. I started with a simple search. I typed in “horror movies filmed in Louisiana” and, boy, did I get a ton of results. It was a bit overwhelming at first, sifting through all the lists and articles. I found a few common names popping up, so I decided to focus on those.
Making My List
I grabbed a pen and paper and started jotting down the titles that seemed interesting. I ended up with a list that included:
- The Skeleton Key – something about a hospice nurse in Terrebonne Parish. Sounded spooky!
- The Blob – a remake of an older movie, it’s about a monster from space. Classic.
- Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh – this one’s about an urban legend in New Orleans. I love a good urban legend.
- Venom – evil spirits possessing someone? Sign me up!
- Dracula 2000 – Dracula in New Orleans. I had to see this.
Watching the Films
I started with “The Skeleton Key.” It was pretty good. I liked the setting, an old plantation home. Creepy vibes for sure. Then I moved on to “The Blob.” It was kind of cheesy, but in a fun way. “Candyman” was next. It was probably my favorite. That urban legend stuff really gets to me. “Venom” was a bit predictable but still had some good scares. Lastly, I watched “Dracula 2000.” Honestly, it wasn’t my favorite, but it was interesting to see Dracula in a modern setting.
Reflecting on the Experience
After watching all these movies, I felt like I’d taken a weird, spooky tour of Louisiana. It was cool to see familiar places, even if they were portrayed in a scary way. I realized that Louisiana’s unique atmosphere – the old buildings, the swamps, the legends – really lends itself to horror.
So, that’s my story of exploring Louisiana horror movies. It was a fun, and at times, terrifying experience. I might do it again sometime, maybe with a different state. Any suggestions?
