Google Searches Identify Each State’s Most Popular Horror Icon

Welp, it’s that time of year again where the Gods of the Interwebs invade our search history and reveal all that naughty late-night, drunk browsing for the world to see! Just kidding ( I hope). But seriously, a team of Google analysts at Frontier Bundles performs this just-for-fun horror data search every year that reveals which horror icon is the most popular across the United States of America.

The Frontier Bundles data analyst team selected 12 popular villains from classic, pre-21st-century horror movies and used Google Trends to analyze their search volume in the last 12 months. They then reported the villain with the highest search volume in each state.

In other words, don’t shoot the messenger here if you are displeased with your home town’s results. Personally speaking as a Nevadan, my black little heart of Damballa is content with Chucky being our most beloved. Check out the map and details below provided by Frontier Bundles themselves!

MGM Drops Teaser Trailer For The Addams Family

Kind of hard to not snap your fingers whenever you hear that nostalgic tune of gloriousness.

As you may or may not have heard, The Addams Family have been on the heels of a theatrical comeback per MGM last year when the project was first announced. Much to both dismay and welcoming of fans as the film was to project America’s favorite creepy and kooky fam in ye’ faithful animated form- as depicted by creator Charles Addams in the form of cartoon panels first appearing in The New Yorker magazine back in 1938.

Once the cartoon strips adapted into physical media in 1964 (the boob tube), Gomez, Morticia, Cousin Itt and the rest of the clan were launched into superstardom with their stories continuing for the next 50 years with live-action films, Saturday morning cartoons, and even a cereal to boot. Bonus points if you still have the Uncle Fester flashlight! And now here we are 2019, and the gothic family has no signs of slowing down with a return of the visional animation roots in of which the black seeds were planted.

Orion Pictures Releases First Trailer For Child’s Play Reboot!

Today, Orion Pictures came through as promised as I teased a few days ago that they had sent me, and fellow media outlets, a teaser that a full trailer was coming for the upcoming Child’s Play reboot. And man, oh man… Chucky, is feeling more terrifying than ever in this modern take on “Best Friends ’till the End.”

From director Lars Klevberg, the rated-R CHILD’S PLAY stars Aubrey Plaza, Gabriel Bateman, and Brian Tyree Henry and is produced by Seth Graham-Smith (Stephen King’s IT & Chapter 2) and David Katzenberg (IT: Chapter 2).

Official Synopsis:

A contemporary re-imagining of the 1988 horror classic, CHILD’S PLAY follows Karen (Aubrey Plaza), a single mother who gifts her son Andy (Gabriel Bateman) a Buddi doll, unaware of its more sinister nature.

 

 

Child’s Play and Chucky is set to slash its way into theaters on June 21, 2019.
