The phrase 'based on a true story' adds a different layer to a horror movie, but there are some true stories that are scarier than their films.
There are a surprising amount of horror movies based on true stories that have elevated the genre and showcased the deepest annals of human depravity, but there are also a fair few whose true stories are scarier than the actual movie. When a film is adapted from a true story it adds a different layer to the overall narrative, usually sending audiences directly to the internet after viewing to see how the two tales compare.
9 The Town That Dreaded Sundown The Town that Dreaded Sundown is a spiritual sequel to the 1976 film of the same name, and both of them find their titular Phantom Killer roots in a true story. While the original film follows the bloody event known as the Texarkana Moonlight Murders, the second film, produced by AHS creator Ryan Murphy and Jason Blum, creates its own storyline with the Phantom Killer.
7 The Amityville Horror The Amityville Horror is quite possibly one of the most famous horror movies based on a true story, but the fact that a lot of what the Lutz family went through scared them enough to do what they did makes the real tale that much more frightening. In the 1979 horror film, Ronald DeFeo Jr. murders his entire family in their Amityville home, and the Lutz family moves in a year later.
5 Scream Another monumental horror franchise finds its roots in a true story whose actual details are more terrifying than what's seen on the screen. The Scream franchise takes a comical meta route in satirizing the horror genre, and starts out following a tribe of teens living in the town of Woodsboro who are attacked by the masked Ghostface Killer.
