From legal thrillers to period pieces many movies draw inspiration from actual events. Some of your favorite movies were actually inspired by dark true stories. From abductions to bear attacks to strange disappearances, here are movies you didn't know were based on some messed-up actual events.
Everyone knows that Psycho was loosely based on infamous American killer Ed Gein, but the 1960 slasher wasn't the only Alfred Hitchcock movie inspired by true events. The Master of Suspense also once explained that his voyeuristic masterpiece, Rear Window, was influenced by two killings that sent shockwaves across Great Britain.
HJM: What about Jeepers Creepers? Very loosely based on a murder. The first mins of the movie play out just as real life. Even had an episode on Unsolved Mysteries. Date: 2020-11-04
