I agree!! I voted "Small Town", because I live in one & I can just imagine one of my neighbors or whomever (like the pharmacist..LOL) committing some type of crime & NEVER suspecting that person! :)

I voted for small town, but an abandoned factory would be cool too. I love old, run-down buildings - so creepy!

I voted for small town as I come from a small town. For "outsiders", moving to a small community where people give you strange looks and whisper behind you, can be a scary experience. And small towns can start rumours pretty quick and spread like wild fire so if they don't like you they will make sure you know! And if anything bad happens in their town they keep it a secret from the "outsiders". Plus there is a lot of haunted and scary stories about each small town some are true and some are not. But who really knows what is the truth? hahahaha :)

I think 'major Metropolitan Area'. That's because let alone haunted houses and abandoned factories are way too cliche for thrillers. Major areas is more challenging, and if an author can pull a truly worthwhile, good thriller - setting it in a big place is fresh and interesting.

I love Robert Ludlum type thrillers - so metropolitan areas and ideally in many parts of the world in the same book, with action from page 1 to the last page.

This movie comes out in 12 days and I have yet to see a trailer for it in the movie theater which seems rather strange. (I see 1-4 movies a week in the theater, so it's not like I haven't had the opportunity!)

I voted "Major Metropolitan Area" because I think that would be scarier because with all the busyness and so many buildings etc you'd be less likely to see things coming.

Woohoo love small town nastiness!! It's more horrifying if it's a small town where people don't expect it. Though Major Metropolitan Area is good too = )

Depends on what kind of Movie. For a typical Martial Arts showdown, or a showdown of any kind, a Small Town or Abandoned Factory of course. But if you're doing a superhero, or disaster movie(Which oddly enough, are often the same) a Major Metropolitan Area would be the ideal choice.

I said Major Metropolitan Area because I grew up in a small town where I knew everyone, and it would be more frightening in a city where I knew no one and wouldn't know who to ask for help. Although I probably couldn't trust anybody in that small town if it were a horror story!

Author Brandilyn Collins said she likes small town settings because everyone thinks they know everything about everyone but, in fact, their secrets just go deeper.

A small town that time forgot. Odd people in it, not welcoming and a still summer, hazy, thunder in the distance....

I would suggest also, a taxi!

Small towns are it.
