Urbanization
One interesting thing about urbanization? You never know who's going to be living in the house next door. Just ask the neighbors of this family, who have been featured in a classic tv series, several animated and live action movies, and even a popular Netflix series.
The Addams Family
Life expectancy is probably pretty low in Springwood, Ohio, what with all of these teenagers having to go to sleep and meet Freddy.
A Nightmare on Elm Street
What climate region is Transylvania in? It doesn't really matter for this horror movie monster, since he never comes out in the day anyway.
Dracula
Is a rock an appropriate "treat" when Trick or Treating? I suppose it depends on your perspective. Not if you exist in this Halloween cartoon classic.
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
What are the physical characteristics of Monstropolis? Not much, since it's an entirely urban and fictional area.
Monsters, Inc.
I feel like this Disney ride and movie has been stuck at a population of 999 for decades. But there's always room for one more...
The Haunted Mansion
Ghostbusters
Positive about Salem? The leaves are great. Negative about Salem? Just don't light the black flame candle.
Hocus Pocus
Are kids horror-themed books fact or fiction? The line is blurred in this movie series starring Jack Black.
Goosebumps
Sometimes all an old man wants is for you to stay off his lawn so it stays beautiful and well-manicured and his house doesn't eat you...
Monster House
Are rural areas more scary than urban areas? They are if you stumble into Gatlin, Nebraska in this crop-based series of horror movies.
Children of the Corn
I guess mortality rate is a meaningless statistic for the Creed family, all because they live with one of these just past their house...
Pet Sematary
This supernatural-themed children's series of movies has been set in several different climate regions, from Eastern Europe, to Humid Continental in America, to tropical climates at sea.
Hotel Transylvania
Can those with magical powers coexist with those that do not? This kids' series of movies and books explores this theme.
Can you really walk for 10 days in the woods in a national park and never find your way out? You can if this title character has her way...
The Blair Witch Project.
What happens when one town that specializes in horror tries to urban sprawl its way into a town that specializes in joy? Well, we learn the lesson the hard way in this holiday film...
The Nightmare Before Christmas
If a mad scientist reanimates a dead body and it becomes a raging monster, does that count as an increase in birthrate?
Frankenstein
If you live in a colder climate region, make sure to always come inside from sledding when your parents call you, or you may end up like this 1995 "friendly" character...
Casper
Is it easy to be a ghost? Not if you never read the Book of the Dead, as Adam and Barbara find out in this 1988 horror comedy.
Beetlejuice
Can a lake really be made out of crystal? I guess it doesn't really matter when you're being chased around by a deranged serial killer (or his mom).
Friday the 13th
This 1978 slasher movie (and my favorite movie of all time) was one of the first to explore the horrors of suburbia.
Halloween
Would humans stand a chance against a different species with thousands of varieties if they all decided to work together? The question is clearly answered in this 1963 Alfred Hitchcock classic.
The Birds
As the detective in this film reminds us, watch out for Autumn drafts in colder climates. Sometimes they cause...demon possession?
The Exorcist
Should children be protected from the more dangerous sides of their family's heritage? Or learn to embrace it, even if it puts them in danger? We explore this theme in a made-for-Disney children's series of movies.
Halloweentown
You may recognize many of the physical features of this seminal 1960's zombie flick, seeing as how it was set and filmed in the Pittsburgh area!
Night of the Living Dead
