If you think the Land of Lincoln is frightening sometimes in real life, you should see it in the movies including 11 terrifying flicks that have been set in Illinois.

There are many legends and horror stories I was told growing up in Missouri. Mo-Mo, the Bubbleheads, the corpse under the motel bed and numerous other tales meant to torment anyone willing to venture out into the night. Now, there's another legend making the rounds which tells of a 'hook man' that is said to prowl rural Missouri roads after dark.

A different way to celebrate the frights of Halloween in Illinois is the Hayride of Horror.

Too terrifying, too bloody, too demonic, too disgusting, too disturbing. Those are a few words used to describe these movies you should watch with caution.

Horror fans who live in, or spent their childhood in Illinois, will appreciate this list and possibly learn something they didn't already know.

Do you like Freddy Krueger, Leatherface, or Michael Myers? If so, this is for you.
