Answers

  1. C. Colorado – The Overlook Hotel is explicitly set in the isolated Colorado Rockies, as stated in the film and Stephen King’s novel; Oregon was used for exteriors but not the story location.
  2. D. Illinois – John Carpenter’s Halloween places Haddonfield in Illinois, with licence plates and dialogue confirming it; California was a common mix-up due to filming there.
  3. A. New Jersey – Camp Crystal Lake is canonically in New Jersey per the films; nearby states like Pennsylvania hosted some filming but not the setting.
  4. B. Georgetown, Washington D.C. – The MacNeil house is at 3600 Prospect Street in Georgetown, a real D.C. neighbourhood featured prominently; other cities are nearby but incorrect.
  5. A. The Dakota – The film’s Bramford is modelled after the iconic Dakota apartments on Central Park West, where Rosemary and Guy live; the others are famous NYC buildings but not this one.
  6. B. Phoenix – Marion works at a real estate office in Phoenix, Arizona, where she steals the $40,000; the story then moves to California, causing confusion.
  7. D. Amityville, NY – The Lutzes’ home is 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, Long Island, based on the real DeFeo murders; nearby towns are plausible distractors.
  8. D. Ohio – Springwood, Ohio, is Freddy’s hometown, as shown on maps and signs; Midwestern states like Illinois fit the vibe but are wrong.
  9. A. Rhode Island – The Perron farmhouse is in Harrisville, Rhode Island, drawn from real Warrens’ cases; neighbouring states hosted similar stories.
  10. D. Cuesta Verde – The Freelings’ home is in the doomed Cuesta Verde suburb, invented for the film; other California locales sound suburban but are fictional elsewhere.
  11. C. Chamberlain – Stephen King’s Carrie unfolds in the small town of Chamberlain, Maine; other King towns like Derry are horror staples but distinct.
  12. B. Maine – Derry, Maine, is the setting for IT, central to King’s multiverse; New England neighbours are close but not exact.
  13. D. Texas – Muerto County, Texas, is home to Leatherface’s family farm; Southern states like Louisiana fit the vibe but aren’t specified.
  14. A. A farmhouse in rural Pennsylvania – The survivors barricade in a remote farmhouse near Evans City, Pennsylvania; Monroeville mall is from Dawn sequel.
  15. D. Maryland – The Black Hills Forest in Maryland is where the Blair Witch legend unfolds; nearby forests fuel mix-ups.
  16. D. New York City – The estate is upstate New York from NYC, as Jordan Peele confirmed; other cities match the plot’s urban start.
  17. A. Sweden – The Hårga commune is in rural Hälsingland, Sweden; Scandinavian neighbours share folklore similarities.
  18. D. Slovakia – The Elite Hunting Club operates in a Slovakian hostel; Prague, Czech Republic, hosted filming but not the plot.
