Synopsis
50 States of Fright (2020), Season 1 is a horror anthology you can watch online on iFILM — fourteen short chapters, each built from an urban legend tied to a specific American state.
The episodes run brief and group into a handful of tales. Michigan's "The Golden Arm" follows a couple, a terrible accident, and a gold prosthetic that demands its price. In Kansas, "Ball of Twine" lets a roadside attraction pull a young girl in while the town hides something far worse than tourist boredom. An Oregon taxidermist takes a commission that becomes his final piece. Minnesota's "Grey Cloud Island" turns a college initiation into a fight to survive, and Florida's "Destino" drops Miami cops into the middle of an ancient ritual. There's no single hero — just a shared register where the ordinary and the gruesome sit side by side.
The anthology comes from Sam Raimi, and the short-chapter format plays like campfire stories: setup, twist, gut-punch. Christina Ricci, Rachel Brosnahan, and Travis Fimmel turn up across the cast. It's for viewers who like their horror in small servings. Stream 50 States of Fright Season 1 online on iFILM.
