Top 'Town With A Secret' Horror Stories
 
Love those creepy small towns where all is not what it seems. Some of my favorites:

Dark Secret Of Harvest Home - Cornwall Coombe
Children Of The Corn - Gatlin, Nebraska
You Know They Got A Hell Of A Band - Rock N Roll Heaven
The Stepford Wives - Stepford, Connecticut
The Lottery

There must be loads I'm forgetting. What other creepy small towns with a deep dark secret are worth visiting?

Salem's Lot is a good one. Rainy Season and One For The Road are two other good stories by King about two towns with pretty sinister secrets as well.

I'd love to see Rainy Season and One For The Road made into films.

I can't forget Demons of Ludlow 1984!

So would I. Another good one is Crouch End. They actually aired that in the mini series a few years back Nightmares And Dreamscapes on TNT. The whole mini series was done pretty well I thought.

Those pesky cults and covens.

I see Burned At The Stake takes place in Salem, Mass., a fun loving town.http://home.texoma.net/~adwignall/images/salem.jpg

Satan's Slave gave me a picture for Eye and Tooth removals.

Crouch End is a wonderful story!

Wow Rainbow, you sure know your 80s horror! I don't think I've seen any of those films you mentioned.

I see Demons Of Ludlow was directed by Bill Rebane, director of the classic Giant Spider Invasion.http://thumbnails.hulu.com/18/728/88...NgYB+eEVgg.jpg

2000 Maniacs anyone?

If there isn't a separate thread for "Top Island with A Secret" then I like to recommend The Wicker Man (1973).
