Halloween Candy Map Shows America’s Favorite Halloween Candy By State!
Written by Patti Pauley
Halloween is right around the corner and America has been prepping for the holiday we call “Christmas for the horror fans” since as early as August. We get a little giddy as soon as the first spooky bat is seen hung high in our local department stores, the over-abundance of pumpkin spiced everything, and of course the glorious fun size pieces of delight encased in one-ten pound bags- Halloween candy!
LOTS OF CANDY.

Yeah we’re a gluttonous bunch on October 31st, and that’s OK. Especially after the heat wave of Summer, and a lot of us struggling to resist sweet temptations in an attempt to get that “perfect pool-side build” going on. We deserve to indulge a little, and hey, we gotta inspect our kiddo’s candy right? It’s our duty to make sure it’s not poisonous! We’re such great parents! Putting ourselves at risk like that..
Candy is KING on Halloween and Americans are estimated to spend about 2.5 BILLION dollars on Halloween candy alone according to Wall Street reports. And we all have our favorites. Milk or dark chocolate. Skittles or M&Ms. Reese’s or Snickers. One surely prefers one over the other depending on who you’re talking to. Website Influenster took matters into their own hands at the question at large, what is America’s favorite Halloween candy? The site surveyed over 40,000 readers in an attempt to figure out which candy reigns supreme in each state in America and the results are in folks. Behold, a map of America’s favorite Halloween candy state by state!
For me personally, it’s no surprise that the candy that pulled in the highest number of votes was indeed Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Along with the delectable Kit Kat and Butterfinger, the three candies in particular are heavily favored by ALL 50 states according to the report. In an unexpected twist of events, Candy Corn, the Halloween staple you either love or loathe entirely, was voted as Queen Bee of Halloween Candy in Oregon, Wyoming, Tennessee, Texas, and South Carolina. As it turns out, not EVERYONE hates the little orange, yellow, and white Halloween treats eh?
Here’s the full list breakdown alphabetically state by state.

‘Evil Dead’ Film Franchise Getting TWO New Installments
It was a risk for Fede Alvarez to reboot Sam Raimi’s horror classic The Evil Dead in 2013, but that risk paid off and so did its spiritual sequel Evil Dead Rise in 2023. Now Deadline is reporting that the series is getting, not one, but two fresh entries.
We already knew about the Sébastien Vaniček upcoming film that delves into the Deadite universe and should be a proper sequel to the latest film, but we are broadsided that Francis Galluppi and Ghost House Pictures are doing a one-off project set in Raimi’s universe based off of an idea that Galluppi pitched to Raimi himself. That concept is being kept under wraps.
“Francis Galluppi is a storyteller who knows when to keep us waiting in simmering tension and when to hit us with explosive violence,” Raimi told Deadline. “He is a director that shows uncommon control in his feature debut.”
That feature is titled The Last Stop In Yuma County which will release theatrically in the United States on May 4. It follows a traveling salesman, “stranded at a rural Arizona rest stop,” and “is thrust into a dire hostage situation by the arrival of two bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty-or cold, hard steel-to protect their bloodstained fortune.”
Galluppi is an award-winning sci-fi/horror shorts director whose acclaimed works include High Desert Hell and The Gemini Project. You can view the full edit of High Desert Hell and the teaser for Gemini below:

‘Invisible Man 2’ Is “Closer Than Its Ever Been” to Happening
Elisabeth Moss in a very well-thought-out statement said in an interview for Happy Sad Confused that even though there have been some logistical issues for doing Invisible Man 2 there is hope on the horizon.
Podcast host Josh Horowitz asked about the follow-up and if Moss and director Leigh Whannell were any closer to cracking a solution to getting it made. “We are closer than we have ever been to cracking it,” said Moss with a huge grin. You can see her reaction at the 35:52 mark in the below video.
Whannell is currently in New Zealand filming another monster movie for Universal, Wolf Man, which might be the spark that ignites Universal’s troubled Dark Universe concept which hasn’t gained any momentum since Tom Cruise’s failed attempt at resurrecting The Mummy.
Also, in the podcast video, Moss says she is not in the Wolf Man film so any speculation that it’s a crossover project is left in the air.
Meanwhile, Universal Studios is in the middle of constructing a year-round haunt house in Las Vegas which will showcase some of their classic cinematic monsters. Depending on attendance, this could be the boost the studio needs to get audiences interested in their creature IPs once more and to get more films made based on them.
The Las Vegas project is set to open in 2025, coinciding with their new proper theme park in Orlando called Epic Universe.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s Thriller ‘Presumed Innocent’ Series Gets Early Release Date
Jake Gyllenhaal’s limited series Presumed Innocent is dropping on AppleTV+ on June 12 instead of June 14 as originally planned. The star, whose Road House reboot has brought mixed reviews on Amazon Prime, is embracing the small screen for the first time since his appearance on Homicide: Life on the Street in 1994.
Presumed Innocent is being produced by David E. Kelley, J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, and Warner Bros. It is an adaptation of Scott Turow’s 1990 film in which Harrison Ford plays a lawyer doing double duty as an investigator looking for the murderer of his colleague.
These types of sexy thrillers were popular in the ’90s and usually contained twist endings. Here’s the trailer for the original:
According to Deadline, Presumed Innocent doesn’t stray far from the source material: “…the Presumed Innocent series will explore obsession, sex, politics and the power and limits of love as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.”
Up next for Gyllenhaal is the Guy Ritchie action movie titled In the Grey scheduled for release in January 2025.
Presumed Innocent is an eight-episode limited series set to stream on AppleTV+ starting June 12.
