Believe it or not New York has it's share of hill-billy towns. And right in the Allegheny stretch of the Appalachians to!
Here's a few I know of that can be eerie to an outsider and are hillbilly/redneck:
Beaver Dams
Addison
Around the Connecticut hills
Around Texas Hollow
Cameron area
Trumansburg
Rock Stream
Montour falls
Dundee
Erin
Newfield Hamlet
Enfield
Romulus
Tyrone
Along the Canisteo river
The real Watkins Glen (A lot of transplants have softened it considerably)
That's all I can think of at the moment. Some of the towns are eerie and unwelcoming whereas others are eerie but are actually friendly.
How do I know these places so well? I grew up there in the middle of hill-billy nowhere NY. :P
There are some scary desert towns in CA. One time I drove from Vegas to a family friend's place in Ridgecrest. Some of those towns just seem like magnets for fugitives and crazies.

Or with a deficit of hills, country bumpkins is the term. Rednecks are a unique breed.
Every state DOES have them. But some states do have the scary ones. They DO NOT dominate entire towns, but they are present. Perhaps more-so in the fabled Appalachians.
I grew up a few miles away from Addison NY, yet the town still gave me the willies down certain roads.

You must be frightened whenever you travel, wow. People who are different than you are, ohh my!
Yeah, I was like "huh?" on that comment.....
I go to Savannah to look at the houses/scenery, not to look at the people.
