Most people know Shreveport has a rich history in the film industry. We may not have that many productions happening in the area now, but hopefully some tax incentive changes could be on the way. Or perhaps there's a producer out there who sees value in what Shreveport has built as a filming backbone.

Horror movies are big business. They may not be the most popular films in the box office, but that doesn't mean that they don't make any money. In fact, horror movies usually do pretty well with their total profits, because they don't always cost as much to make as something like "superhero" movies.

In Shreveport, the movie industry has slowed a noticeable amount over the last 15 years. But it is still rolling forward, just slower. While it does keep moving forward, so do the horror movies being made here.

Yes, a lot of movies and TV shows have been filmed in our area, but looking at the percentage of those productions that have leaned into the horror/suspense/thriller world appears to outweigh other genres.

Just look at the TV series list...two of the biggest ever are True Blood and Salem.

But we're not looking at TV shows with now. We're taking a look at the scary movies filmed in Shreveport. Horror movies are always difficult to judge based on "critict" reviews, which is why many horror movies fans look to their peers first. That's why we decided to ignore the critic ratings, and take the user ratings from IMDB to rank out these Shreveport-made horror films...
