As for the second most searched movie in America, button eyes and creepy tales seem to win as 11 states searched for the movie “Coraline.”

Halloween children’s classic “Halloweentown” only made the most popular list for the state of Oregon. This may not come as a surprise for fanatics of the film, as it was filmed in St. Helens. The city of St. Helens even hosts a festival named the “Spirit of Halloweentown” in memory of the film franchise that runs annually from mid-September until Halloween night.

Other kids’ movies included in popular searches per state include, “Beetlejuice,” “Hocus Pocus,” “Coco,” “Ghostbusters,” “Gremlins,” “E.T.,” “The Witches,” “The Addams Family” and “Hotel Transylvania.”

For the study, USDish identified each state’s most internet-searched spooky movie for kids using Google and gathered a list of kids’ Halloween movies that were rated G or PG. The site then used SEMRush, an online ranking data and keyword research platform, to find the movies out of the list that had the highest number of keyword searches and then input the selected movie names into Google Trends to find each state’s most searched movie for children for this year’s Halloween festivities, according to USDish.
