* ''Film/CarnivalOfSouls'' is perhaps the best horror movie ever made in Utah. A church organist moves to Salt Lake City, where she becomes obsessed with an abandoned carnival ground outside of town, and also becomes convinced that a mysterious ImplacableMan is stalking her.
* The first three episodes of ''Series/PokerFace'' revolve around murder and corruption in, respectively, a Nevada casino, a New Mexico truck stop, and a Texas barbecue restaurant. Due to the show's WalkingTheEarth / MysteryOfTheWeek format, though, there's apparently someone up to no good everywhere Charlie goes.

* ''Mary'' by Nat Cassidy is the tale of a middle aged New Yorker who seemingly suffers from psychosis returning to her quaint hometown in Arizona to uncover repressed childhood memories. The town was founded by a quasi-Christian splinter group who venerate the desert as a cruel but mighty mistress, a force that weeds out the weak and unworthy, where only the strong and pure can survive. They secretly worship [[spoiler: a misogynistic serial killer who was killed in a shootout with police decades earlier, and once a year the cult viciously violates and murders kidnapped women in a ritualistic cleansing of sin]].

May overlap with WeirdWest (but differs, in that Sinister Southwest works may be set in the modern-day and feature no supernatural elements). Compare LovecraftCountry and SouthernGothic, for other American settings with supernatural and/or horror elements. Can often involve HillbillyHorrors. See also VivaLasVegas, where some more cynical stories might use Sin City's illicit reputation as a setting for horror stories.

Sinister Southwest is a genre of crime/horror/thriller stories set in the American Southwest, a vast zone that includes New Mexico, Arizona, and certain parts of Colorado, California, Nevada, Texas, and Utah. A largely desert landscape that contains the hottest temperatures in the United States, along with some of its most violent and bizarre history, the region naturally lends itself as a backdrop to more intense works.
