The wilderness of North America (especially the United States) makes for an effective fantasy setting. Its huge swaths of uninhabited land might contain all manner of strange and terrible creatures, or robbers and bandits, ready to prey on unsuspecting travelers. Ancient ruins lie scattered about the landscape, built by a people long gone, and out beyond the bounds of civilization, the average Muggle works the land, having either no ability or no desire to confront the dangers that lurk in the wilderness just beyond the treeline. And though this might sound a lot like a Standard Fantasy Setting, there are a number of traits that set Fantasy Americana apart. Rather than villages built around a castle or keep, you're more likely to find isolated homesteads or quaint small towns. If there are castles, they probably look more like wooden frontier forts. Magical Native Americans replace wizards, oracles, and elves, and Fearsome Critters of American Folklore and cryptids like Bigfoot or Mothman take the place of classical creatures like dragons or unicorns. And in place of the towering figures of Classical Mythology or Knights in Shining Armor, there are Tall Tale folk heroes like Paul Bunyan, John Henry, Davy Crockett, and Johnny Appleseed, some of whom really existed. Fantasy Americana can even take place in modern times, with the weirdness and supernatural stuff happening alongside modern technology and culture, because there are still enormous areas of America where virtually no one lives. And even if people do live there, they are often several hours' travel from civilization. The disconnect between rural and urban America is often a prominent theme in modern Fantasy Americana. Sister Trope to Ghibli Hills, Weird West. See also: Lovecraft Country, Sinister Southwest, and Southern Gothic, which use specific slices of Americana as the backdrop for horror instead of fantasy, though the two can overlap. Compare Salem Is Witch Country and Roswell That Ends Well, which similarly have America as the setting for unusual goings-on but utilize more local legends (witches and aliens, respectively). |

Though it looks more like a Grindhouse-style throwback to the exploitation genre at first, Mandy (2018) is also a Dark Heroic Fantasy story transported to the Shadow Mountains of California in The '80s. While most of the supernatural elements are kept ambiguous and may just be the hallucinations of its protagonist Red, it features things like a gang of Ambiguously Human demonic bikers who are impossibly resistant to normal damage, a malevolent hippie cult partly inspired by the Manson Family that makes use of several apparently magical artifacts and offers Human Sacrifices to said demonic bikers, and psychedelic drugs with the apparent ability to give their users superhuman strength, all while the Mighty Lumberjack Barbarian Hero wields a pair of traditional medieval fantasy weapons — a hand-forged battleaxe and a crossbow — in conjunction with more modern tools like chainsaws. It even features nods to its inspirations, such as the title character reading a Robert E. Howard-style pulp fantasy novel, and a Forging Scene straight out of Conan the Barbarian (1982). | |

The third season of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012) contains some aspects of Fantasy Americana. You've got the isolated cabin in the middle of the woods, heroes fighting monsters that lurk just beyond the edges of the unknown, and Bigfoot makes an appearance. Not a mutant they name Bigfoot, but the honest-to-goodness legendary creature. | |

Anchôromé is an unusual variant of this trope in that it combines the Standard Fantasy Setting with Pre-Columbian Central & Northern America, being set in the "America" region of the Forgotten Realms. Literal Magical Native Americans, Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti, nomadic elves, desert-dwelling dwarves and various American beastfolk are the order of the day here, with tomahawks and buckskins replacing longswords and chainmail. | |

Spellslinger is literally a Wild West setting for Dungeons & Dragons, in that it is set in the American West analogue to a Standard Fantasy Setting after The Magic Goes Away and technology advances to the degree that rifles, shotguns and pistols are the defacto ranged weapons of choice, whilst mention is made of trains in the background. | |

Supernatural combines a contemporary Fantasy Americana setting with a Monster of the Week procedural, a road movie, and a family drama. While the monsters, curses, and other threats are taken from mythology from all over the world, American folklore is spotlighted. For example, making a Deal with the Devil is a not-infrequent occurence on the show, but it's stipulated that such deals must always occur At the Crossroads, and the episode introducing this theme delves heavily into the Robert Johnson story. Other episodes have featured the Bloody Mary, hitchhiking ghosts, the Hook Hand urban legend, and the ghost of American Serial Killer H.H. Holmes. | |

In The Big Bang Theory, there is an In-Universe fantasy card game called Wild West And Witches which exploits this trope. The boys look with disbelief at this new mixing of universes, ask who's going to fall for such an obvious sales ploy, and then buy three sets. The cards - modeled on Magic: The Gathering - have names like Creepy Tepee, Annie Ogre-way and other bad puns. | |

Root looks like Medieval European Fantasy at first, but actually fits here. The Forest is very North American looking, and the members of the Eyrie Dynasties are all birds native to North America, while the Marquise is invading from a faraway France counterpart with the intent to colonize for resources. One of the factions is a trading company of Voyageur counterpart beavers that plies the rivers in canoes à la the Hudson Bay Company. Also, since the Woodland Alliance of oppressed commonfolk is fighting both a pseudo-European invader and a decadent monarchy, they can be read as either Native Americans or the United States, as one prefers, or both. Of course, it's mostly Low Fantasy except perhaps when dealing with the Lizard Cult. | |

InCryptid features the protagonists traveling all over the US, dealing with cryptids, ghosts, sorcerers and witches, and an Eldritch Abomination as they go. The first two books are mostly a normal Urban Fantasy set in New York City, but later books go from Ohio to LA to Oregon to Florida to Maine, with some adventures taking place in the Land Down Under or in England. The related Ghost Roads series, set in the same universe, explores the ghosts and mages of North America and the routes they travel, with some entities even claiming to be gods like Hades and Persephone. |

Pathfinder's default setting has a continent called Arcadia that is clearly a counterpart to North America, though there hasn't been much published material about it yet. However, its Europe stand-in continent, Avistan, has a bit of this trope in it anyway: the Shoanti tribes have a bit of Magical Native American in them, the democratic nation of Andoren has a fair bit in common with the early United States (or rather, the United States as they should have been, since Andoren is vigorously opposed to slavery), and the River Kingdoms have a bit of a Great Lakes regional flavour to them. Pathfinder is also well set up to run this kind of story outside of its default setting, since the rules take a Fantasy Kitchen Sink approach to real-world mythologies, and many creatures from North American folklore - both Native and settler - turn up in the Bestiaries. |

In A Brother's Price, the protagonists, the Whistler family, live on a lone farm, surrounded by wilderness, with the only neighbours living quite far away. Horses are the main means of transport, guns are the preferred weapon, and everyone defends their own house. Bandits and robbers are everywhere. It all seems very much like the Wild West - that is, before the princesses are mentioned. Cooking ingredients such as maple syrup imply that the setting is somewhere in North America, and the male Gender Rarity Value (brought about by decreased fertility and stillbirths) could mean it takes place somewhen in the future after mankind wrecked the environment, rebuilt civilisation, and forgot about it. | |

In Fallout 3, the Dunwich Building seem like an ordinary ruined office building...until the flashbacks to the past begin. Cryptic holotapes belonging to a previous explorer can be found, searching for a mysterious Tome of Eldritch Lore. Finally, deep in a cave beneath the building, a mysterious pillar worshiped by feral ghouls can be found. This building is later integrated into a quest in the Point Lookout DLC. | |

In Fallout 4, one of the locations is a quarry owned by the company Dunwich Borers. Like the Dunwich building in 3, flashbacks occur intermittently. The final flashback shows a human sacrifice in progress. Diving into the pool in the final room reveals part of a massive statue buried beneath the stone, as well as a sacrificial altar upon which a mysterious blade is placed. | |

Twin Peaks is one of the defining examples, spinning a simple murder mystery in the Pacific Northwest into a cosmic battle between good and evil featuring prophetic dreams, alternate dimensions, Demonic Possession, and more than a bit of Time Travel, all while maintaining the facade of a folksy, small town soap opera. | |

The Fallout series has its fair share of supernatural creepiness (mainly of the Lovecraftian nature) despite being set in the post-apocalyptic ruins of an alternate Raygun Gothic USA. In Fallout 3, the Dunwich Building seem like an ordinary ruined office building...until the flashbacks to the past begin. Cryptic holotapes belonging to a previous explorer can be found, searching for a mysterious Tome of Eldritch Lore. Finally, deep in a cave beneath the building, a mysterious pillar worshiped by feral ghouls can be found. This building is later integrated into a quest in the Point Lookout DLC. In Fallout 4, one of the locations is a quarry owned by the company Dunwich Borers. Like the Dunwich building in 3, flashbacks occur intermittently. The final flashback shows a human sacrifice in progress. Diving into the pool in the final room reveals part of a massive statue buried beneath the stone, as well as a sacrificial altar upon which a mysterious blade is placed. |

The Stand features this heavily and makes the American landscape even more devoid of people thanks to a bio-engineered disease killing 99% of the population. It's explicitly noted in the book that magic works better when people are wandering through the wilderness or down empty highways, and that it stops working when people gather together into cities. | |

The Adventure Zone has examples of this trope as the basis for two of its campaigns. The Adventure Zone: Dust is a murder mystery set in the Weird West, where everyone is fully aware of the existence of ghosts and werewolves. The Adventure Zone: Amnesty is set in contemporary West Virginia. The Appalachian setting features cryptids peacefully living in a ski resort, The Mothman hiding out in a trailer park, and monsters running around the Monongahela National Forest. |
