From: "Maiershofer, Erik C" <[email protected]> A significant (and one of the most controversial) episodes of "The X-Files" was titled "Home." It would fit well with your list below. ______________________________ Erik C. Maiershofer, Ph.D. Associate Professor of History Hope International University [email protected] ---------- From: Nils Bothmann <[email protected]> Hi there, you might consider the two film adaptations of the Robichaux novels, 'Heaven's Prisoners' (1996) and 'In the Electric Mist' (2009). Part of 'Dracula 2000' (2000) takes place in New Orleans. New Orleans was also the location of the manhunt films 'Avenging Force' (1986) and 'Hard Target' (1993), but these are more actionthrillers than horror films or pure thrillers. Do you also take into consideration thrillers that deal with the threat of racism, the KKK etc. in the South? Then there are Costa-Gravas' political thriller 'Betrayed' (1988), Alan Parker's 'Mississippi Burning' (1988) and the B-actionthriller 'Best of the Best 3 - No Turning Back' (1995). I hope I was of help. Best, Nils ---------- From: Nils Bothmann <[email protected]> Hi, I did some more thinking and came up with some more horror films I saw or read about. 'The Offspring' a.k.a. 'From a Whisper to a Scream' (1987) [anthology: final episode] 'Red Water' (2003) 'Frankenfish' (2004) 'Dead Birds' (2004) 'Hide and Creep' (2004) Some episodes of 'Tales from the Crypt' might also be worth considering.
