Canada has a reputation for being nice. As a Canadian myself, I can tell you this is only about half true. The folk of the Great White North aren’t nice, but we are polite. We think nasty evil thoughts just as much as anyone else. But we keep them pent up inside. We repress our rudeness until it crystallizes like rude little diamonds inside of our secretly black hearts.

And, while we may be polite and proper, our outdoors sure as hell is not. Even during the sunniest months, our wilderness is out for blood. From the gnarly sharp-tooth bears to the swarms of flesh-hungry May Flies, the great Canadian Tundra is most definitely trying to kill you.

Here are 5 horror projects where Canada is the real culprit.

Yellowjackets

In Showtime’s breakaway horror hit Yellowjackets, everyone would be fine and dandy if it wasn’t for the pesky Ontario wilderness. When a wildly ambitious, athletic and talented team of high school soccer players find themselves stranded in the deep dark depths of the Canadian wild, nothing good happens. Truly nothing.

Don’t Say Its Name

Environmental supernatural slasher Don’t Say Its Name premiered at the 2021 Fantasia Film Festival and quickly won over my frosty cold heart. This scary, fun and thoughtful thriller will have you thinking twice about littering in the woods. Don’t do it. We can’t wait to hear more about the USA release for this bitter cold, gory house of horrors.

The Dead Zone

David Cronenberg was quick to direct the cinematic adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dead Zone in 1983. The film was shot during the winter months just north of Toronto during one of Canada’s coldest winters on record. The bitter frost made for a gorgeous setting, however cast and crew have since reported that it was nearly unbearable. Sorry about it, guys. This is definitely one winter watch not to be missed.

Pontypool

Bruce McDonald’s Canadian horror classic Pontypool demands to be seen. In this terrifying little shocker, the real small Ontario town of Pontypool is haunted by a strange maddening sound that has deadly consequences for those who hear it. A true example of Canada acting up and lashing out. This 2008 indie horror moment has gone on to spawn a spin-off and even has a direct sequel in development titled Pontypool Changes.

Ginger Snaps

The Karen Walton-penned Ginger Snaps may not actually take place in Toronto, Ontario … but it can’t escape the Canadian city’s undeniable vibes. Shot in the said location, Ginger Snaps concerns two teenage sisters who confront the hairy, scary reality of the teen girl puberty journey. And also werewolves. This is a hardboiled Canadian classic that’s scary, funny, heart-felt and extremely iconic. We are interested in the reported series in the works, but only if they bring back Walton to produce.
