What are the best horror movies set in Oklahoma? Where to stream top-rated films

What is spookier than seeing a horror movie set in your hometown? Oklahoma is the setting for several horror movies, whether they are in a creepy lake or a secluded farmhouse. Even in movies where the location is not specifically divulged, many horror movies have been filmed across the Sooner State. From mainstream Hollywood pictures to indie productions, here are the top-ranked horror movies filmed in Oklahoma, according to IMDb . Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021) The third mainline installment in the Ghostbusters franchise follows a single mom and her two kids, who move to the fictional town of Summerville, Oklahoma, and begin to discover their connection to the original Ghostbusters and the secret legacy their grandfather left behind. The movie stars Carrie Coon, Paul Rudd, Finn Wolfhard and Mckenna Grace, and has a 7/10 rating on IMDb. Streaming: Hulu Near Dark (1987) In this neo-Western horror, a small-town Oklahoma farmer's son joins a traveling group of highway-roaming outlaws after being bitten by a drifter. While the drifters resemble the common vampires, the word "vampire" is never used in the film. Directed by Kathryn Bigelow, the movie stars Adrian Pasdar, Jenny Wright and Lance Henriksen. It has a 6.8/10 rating on IMDb.
