Horror movies based upon real events?

[Amalthea]

Some horror movies should be based upon real events, but which movies is too long out to be true?

[Killer Clown#1]

The texas chansaw massacre was based on the life of Ed Gein who ate young women

[BudMan]

Whats wrong with eating young women?........OHHHH you mean literally!

[Gein84]

ED GEIN WAS FRIGGIN SICK IN THE HEAD. HE LOVED TO WALK AROUND WEARIN PEOPLES FACES. TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE WAS BASED LOOSLY ON ED GEIN'S LIFE. THE ONLY THING THEY HAD I COMMON WERE MAKING THINGS OUT OF HUMAN BODY PARTS AND LOVING IT!

[MichaelMyers]

TCM.

[Gein84]

PSYCHO WAS ALSO BASED ON ED GEIN. NORMAN BATES HAD AN ATTACHMENT TO HIS MOTHER LIKE ED GEIN. THEY BOTH LIKE TO WALK AROUND AND PRETEND LIKE THEY WERE THEIR MOTHERS.

[massacre man]

buffalo bill was based on gein also

[fluffho]

tcm was roughly based off of gein. pretty much the only thing they got right was the nastiness he did to the people. the whole chainsaw thing was hollywood

exorcist was obviously based off of exorcisms. how exactly accurate, i dont know. i mean exorcisms = church. and churches love to blow shit up. i do know though that peopel get possessed, however in what mannor, thats another question. whether its the devil or some psychological thing (or a combo of both)

amityville was based off of the house. but we'll never really know what was the deal with that now will we.

from hell was based off of jack the ripper, thats pretty much accurate (well, except the whole thing about the detective FINDING OUT who it was, cuz they never did catch the real jack)

theres Monster, and others about serial killers but those arent really made to be horror, more like action/suspense

edit: and i reread the first post. as for 'what are too far out to be true' .... 99% of them???

[massacre man]

o yeah with exprcist it was a real story but instead of a young girl it was young boy in real life

yay 600th post
