Scary Movie

Do you think vampire movies are scary? How about werewolves? Or maybe you like to watch Jason chop up teenagers in the Friday the 13th flicks. Well, this will scare the bejeezus out of you.

It's an animation showing the level of unemployment in every county in the US, starting in 2007 and progressing to the current time period. The map is color coded, with darker colors representing higher unemployment. Watching the darkness spread across the map over time is like following the progress of a plague or some other epidemic.

It creeps me out.
