'Psycho Killer Movie' Stars Could Bail Out Your Bank Account: New Report Finds Horror Flicks Boost Local Economies by 30%
A new economic impact study dropped today, and it's spilling blood—but in your wallet, it's all green. The report, timed to the viral buzz around the upcoming 'Psycho Killer Movie' sequel, reveals that towns hosting horror film shoots see a 30 percent spike in local tourism and small business revenue within the following year. But here's where it gets personal: these aren't just studio profits. The analysis found that the average household in filming locations saved $200 on average utility bills thanks to temporary infrastructure upgrades paid for by film tax credits. So the next time you scoff at a 'Psycho Killer Movie' marathon at your local multiplex, remember—that ticket money might be the only thing keeping your electricity on. Critics warn the trend could backfire if studios flee to cheaper states, but for now, your neighborhood horror flick is a cash cow for your couch cushion.
