When the Horror is Real!

What makes a good horror movie? The premise?? The actors?? Unpredictability?? Some say the best horror stories are those that have their roots in reality. Real horror? Well in a word ...yes. Many of the Hollywood Blockbusters that have set some of the standards of the industry are really based on actual events. Maybe that bit of reality, the fact that this could have actually happened to YOU is what takes it to a different level.

The Huffington Post posted their Top 13 list of Reality Based Horror movies. Can you guess the premise of each? Are you familiar with the story behind each? Some of them I knew, some where a surprise. Check out the list below, How many have you seen? If you're NOT familiar with the premise of a particular movie, check out the link to the Huffington Post. They explain each and have a clip.
