Western New York has become the "Hollywood Of The East" as a lot of filmakers like to shoot here in the 716. While we are well known for Christmas and Hallmark movies, there have been plenty of horror movies also filmed here in Western New York.

There have been big-budget movies like "The Quiet Place" and "The First Purge" to low-budget movies like "The Burning", shot all around the 716.

In these movies, Western New York has been turned into a place that brings out the worst in people and evil into the world, which is the complete opposite of how the 716 is in real life.
