13 is an unlucky number. So I thought it’d be appropriate for me to set off and find 13 spooktacular movies to watch which are based right here in Massachusetts. So pop up your popcorn, call your biggest fraidy-cat friend over, and let’s get some hometown Bay State scares going!

• Jaws (1975)

  The real-life story of Cape Cod.

• The Witch (2015)

  I ain’t goin’ in those woods.

• Hocus Pocus (1993)

  The real-life story of Salem.

• Hocus Pocus 2 (2022)

  Salem: The Sequel.

• Slender Man (2018)

  Bugs in mouth = no bueno.

• The Haunting (1963)

  Pro-Tip: Never hold hands with a ghost.

• Hubie Halloween (2020)

  The projectile vomit though…

• The Lodge (2019)

  “A Game-Changing Horror.” -The Vulture

• Shutter Island (2010)

  Leonardo Dicaprio has a pleasant face. The dude with the staples, not so much…

• ParaNorman (2012)

  Stop-motion goodness!

• The House By the Cemetery (1981)

  That was my house for a portion of my life. I didn’t sleep much during that portion.

• Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988)

  Campy goodness!

• Re-Animator (1985)

  It’s kind of like really gross & spooky marionettes!
