What Horror Movie Is Michigan Obsessed with?

Halloween? Hellraiser? Good guesses but the horror movie that Michigan is obsessed with goes back to the beginning of a new horror master. According to hotdog.com, Michigan is loving The Devil's Backbone as of 2021. In 2018, Michigan liked Near Dark the best per soda.com (perhaps they should get together and I'd have lunch, soda and a hotdog). Michigan's interest in Horror movies is average but not as high as Alaska and Oregon. I would have never guessed in a million years, Alaska or Oregon being so into horror movies. Two very popular movies, The Ring (takes place in Oregon) and 30 Days of Night (an area of Alaska that doesn't have sun for months) take place in those states, so perhaps there is something to that).

The Devil's Backbone was directed by Guillermo Del Toro, the newest master of horror. It makes a lot of sense now, and I am quite distressed I have not seen this film! The film was released in 2001 and was written and directed by Guillermo. In short, the movie is a ghost story taking place in an old orphanage. This seems like a great movie to be Michigan's favorite and I can't wait to check it out.
