KillTheCableBill.com used Rotten Tomatoes and Google Trends to find the horror movie that each state was most “obsessed” with compared to other states, and for Maine it was . . .

“The Lighthouse.”

Rotten Tomatoes describes the 2019 movie as: “Two lighthouse keepers try to maintain their sanity while living on a remote and mysterious New England island in the 1890s.”

You may remember it as the one with the very grizzled Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe.
