Best 'Based On fact Horror Movie'??
Although I haven't thought for any particularly length of quality time on this I was wondering what others views on the best supposedly 'based on fact' horror movie was. I have listed a loosely compiled list of my fave 5 ( only faves I can think of currently)
1. The Exorcist 2. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original) 3. the Amityville Horror (Original) 4. The Entity 5. Deranged I do need to spend more time thinking about this but am more interested to see if there are any hidden gems out there that others may I have seen that I have missed?

Probably The Exorcist, but even those films based on fact are soooo exaggerated it's as if the movie's fake anyway. Take Lord of the Rings. In reality a group of friends found a ring, some weird shit started happening so they were like; "Dude, we gotta destroy this.". But then their midget friend (who had some very odd facial hair) told them not to destroy it but to sell it. So they pawned it at Gollem's Hock.

i always choke on the 'based on fact'
it pisses me off actually so i always have to watch these films with a grain of salt (whatever that means exactly) there is no such thing as truth in story telling, be it a movie or a biography. a general rule is that the book will probably be 30% truth ... the movie will be about 5%

Yep - ok, ok I see your point. However even if they have just a 5% of truth in them - surely that makes them more terrifying than something purely made up?
For me watching the exorcist for the first time (I was 13) absolutely terrified me - I remember thinking about it constantly for weeks afterwards. Just wondered if the fact that these films are supposedly based on fact played on anyone elses minds etc. thanks for the comments though!

Posession is a very terrifying concept and The Excorsist did a good job scaring the bejebus out of people because if that. The fact that there have been so many records of posessions alone is creepy then mix that movie in with it and it's really spooky. I think if the concept is based on something that could be true it's just as effective as something "based on real events".

when i was about 13 i realized there was nothing supernatural ..
before that lots of stuff scared me .. but i wasnt watching the exorcist when i was earlier than 13 .. back in the day parents actually gave a shit about what kids watched .. since then - a couple of good jump out scenes have startled me .. but nothing scares me - except for the news and evangelists.
