Oh, Google. You have consumed our lives with your vast of knowledge of everything and beyond from medicinal home remedies, that perfect pumpkin pie recipe, and of course, each US state’s most popular horror villain. Because, you know, the last one is pretty goddamn important here.

However, you’re probably asking yourselves how something like this is determined? Well, simply put- the data analyst team over at Frontier Bundles selected 15 popular villains from classic, pre-2000 horror movies and used Google Trends to analyze their search volume in the last 12 months. The horror icon with the highest search volume from each state was then determined as the cream of the crop from your home state! 

I have a feeling you’re either going to be ultimately outraged or gleefully chanting to the Heart of Damballa. Good times either way and might I add: Way to go West Virginia! I’m thoroughly impressed with your love for all things horror!
