1. A Cabin in the Woods - Cabin Fever
And - Friday the 13th, The Evil Dead, Cabin in the Woods, Shark Night, Antichrist, I Spit on Your Grave, Sleepaway Camp, The Burning, Shrooms, Severance and countless other films.
If ever there was a generic, idyllic getaway that films tear our hopes and dreams from, its the peaceful idea of a nice Cabin in the Woods. A group of friends, a small, simple house, nature all around you and a madman with an axe waiting in the bushes. Yes, there are thousands of places where you can holiday to your very own Cabin in the Woods, so many that it would be impossible to even make a dent in with this article. But every single one of these places is plagued by the paranoia of horror aficionados hoping they wont bump into Jason Voorhees or his avenging mother, or a flesh virus, or a group of redneck shark wranglers, or any concoction awaiting you in the woods. Sure, go on. Go for your little trip. Be decadent. Drink some beers, have some fun, maybe even get lucky. Get adventurous, or just keep being plain lazy. Go somewhere exotic, or thrilling, or historic. But when a zombie, a psychopath or nightmarish monster comes calling for you, or the locals start getting fired up, or aliens or American World Police start blowing up the local area, you know the movies warned you against this otherwise perfectly good holiday destination. But in all seriousness, the places on this list are all great locations for a getaway, no matter what you're looking for. Don't let the movies trick you into fearing for the worst, because it probably (
probably) won't be happening any time soon.
