Hobbs End - In The Mouth Of Madness (1995)

Newton Haven - The Worlds End (2013)
The City: An English country town that every Brit recalls from their youth with misty nostalgic eyes. Even if they grew up in London. A preponderance of pubs makes it a perfect destination for getting away and getting sozzled.

The Welcome Sign Should Read: “Watch out for the blue bloods!”
Crystal Lake - Friday The 13th (1980)
The City: An oasis away from the stresses of teenage life, Crystal Lake is a beatific town with a lakeside camping facility that continues to somehow generate business.

Raccoon City - Resident Evil (2002)
The City: A normal American town on the surface, Raccoon City houses a subterranean facility owned and operated by the Umbrella Corporation.
