I think you would've been safe. However if it put any adult creepers off hanging around little girls' homes when they were alone and "drinking tea" with them, I'd call that a net positive!

Texas Chainsaw Massacre has kept me far, far away from Texas.
But, I live just outside Philadelphia, near Delaware. Delaware is close enough to The Hills Have Eyes.
The Blob (80's version) I didn't want to eat certain food for a while afterwards like syrup or certain sauces because they reminded me of it.

:bouncegiggle: Show your work, sir! Citations, please!
I know what you mean, though, I think. I've been to nice parts of Delaware and I've been to many parts of Pennsylvania, many of which are nice. I've also driven through the hills of rural PA and I suppose folks in Delaware might think those parts of PA have eyes, too! :wink: And I visited Philly a couple times in the past 20 years and thought it was nice - but of course it was the land of nightmares for David Lynch.
Also, there are plenty of reasons besides TCM to stay away from TX - though Austin and parts of Houston are nice.
Also, I live 40 minutes outside Buffalo, NY - which has its own issues, but - I'm only a 5-10 minute drive from places that could also be the setting of TCM or THILLSHE. Degenerate madness, anthropophagia, and Deplorable behavior lingers in every state, alas. :bluesad:

Delaware tries to trick people with the tax-free shopping and suddenly a family of hillbillies swarm around your car and you're in some backwoods farmhouse. There's good parts down that way, as well.
Blue Velvet and Eraserhead certainly can represent the city back in the day. These are the same people that pelted snowballs, beer bottles and hoagies at Santa Claus during an abysmal Eagles game when the team was 2-11. It's much nicer now.
I've some family in Houston but I've not visited yet. They usually come up this way.
If you do visit Houston, check out the Meow Wolf museum/installation. It's quite something. Kind of a psychedelic 80s "bad" movie come to life.

There are Meow Wolf installations in several different cities, mostly in the west. Las Vegas has one, Dallas now has one, and they started in Santa Fe NM. They're all on different themes; the Vegas one is a "supermarket." I've talked to some of the artists who collaborated on one of them, always wanted to see one. I think I'll check out the Dallas one when I visit next year.
Okay, I figured they were all different... which makes me want to visit all of them. In Houston it's an entire radio station that has been gradually sucked into an interdimensional vortex and eventually you travel through the station and through the vortex into a groovy alien city. :bouncegiggle: It is something else entirely, to say the least.
Not actually a movie, but I read Lord of the Rings as a kid, and to this day burial mounds creep me out.
