Logic defines my perspective on anything out of the ordinary...just because it doesn't with you, has therefore made it seem more "realistic" in your eyes. Doesn't mean it is. Just stems off from your personal belief, highly doubtful that it comes from an actual personal experience (but yknow...whatever you say).
I think that maybe "realistic/unrealistic" isn't quite the best focal point for this particular discussion, because evidently (as we've both proven with our individual perspectives), the term is pretty subjective.
Difference is, I don't think ANY of it is realistic...but I don't let that spoil the movie for me.

TCM is not actually based on true events. They made it seem that way. If anything it is based on shit Ed Gein did, that's all. There is not any truth in TCM.
Anyhow, I can see what Shady is saying. I too can not get into sci-fi movies much at all. Anything that is extremely unbelievable puts me over the edge. I do agree it is one persons own opinion of what is realistic or not though. I personally like slasher movies even tho I think they are very unrealistic, I love Haunting movies cause I believe in that though never experienced in it, and I love movies like Se7en and Saw ect cause they could happen for sure!
