It is one thing to be scared by a writer’s own imagination when you can tell yourself that it is not real. But it can be another whole new type of terror when you are sitting there and thinking that these events may have actually happened to people.
Many of the scariest movies out there take inspiration from real life. Though, as you’re about to find out, some definitely take a lot more liberty with the phrase “inspired by a true story.” I guess if you’re going to get technical, anything that a writer does put down is going to be inspired by something in his life in one way or another, but why not try and use the term to boost ticket sales!
Even if some of the movies you’re about to see are not as factual as you may have expected, it can also add a great deal of value to watching the films if you are aware of what the inspiration behind it was. Freddy Kruger is one of the most iconic characters in cinematic history, but do you know why Wes Cravencreated him? If you don’t, you’re about to find out.
These are 10 movies that are seemingly inspired by a horrible real-life incident. Just don’t complain to me when you end up watching them all and scare yourself senseless!
10. Stuck (2007)
Stuck is based on the death of Gregory Biggs, who was a homeless man and died after being hit by Chante Mallard’s car. Instead of trying to help out the man, Mallard left the man stuck in her windshield to die. This doesn’t exactly make her a horror villain on the levels of Hannibal Lecter, but it’s a pretty awful thing to do.
Chante then took the body to the park and burned her car. During the trial, it was stated by several expertsthat “There’s not a member of the Fort Worth Fire Department that could not have saved Mr. Biggs’ life,” had Chante taken him to the hospital. It was reported that Chante was on ecstasy, marijuana and drunk at the time of the accident.
The film may take more dramatic turns that I won’t spoil here, but at least it gets part of the story right.
