The original Exorcist certainly gets your attention but its obviously fake special effects, possession storyline, and overly publicized audience hysteria were a bit much. The second Exorcist movie is awful. The third one, also called Legion is a great combination of imaginative story, real horror movie tension, and dark humor, and is actually the best of the lot.
Movies like Audrey Rose sell mystical nonsense like reincarnation in courtroom settings. Wish that much attention had been paid to kids abused and even killed by pervs dressing up as spooks and monsters, but those were dismissed as panic. Real horrors aren't supernatural at all.
Mothman at least features the best dam simulated bridge collapse evah! And there's a whole book on the Jaws inspiration: Close to Shore by Capuzzo.

Did you guys know Annabelle is based off a raggedy ann doll. That would make sense as Annabelle is part of the Conjuring Universe.
Also is it just me, or I have this big fear of dolls for some odd reason
Edit-I know I'm a guy and I should fear nothing but I've always been scared of those darn things. In the movies, just take a look at M3gan, Chucky, Jigsaw, Annabelle, Slappy the dummy or from real life; Robert the doll, porcelean dolls, american girl dolls, Barbie, etc, etc. Just imagine sleeping and having the dolls stare at you in the dark.

Also the true story of the Haunting in Connecticut. The Shedeker Haunting is absolutely crazy that the House that family lived in was in fact a former mortuary where necromancy was performed. I will tell you what I would be suing endlessly for withholding that kind of information from me If I moved in. Anything that has a history of ritual killings, ancient medical practices, inhumane and incomprehensible crimes that were involved. No thank you. Definitely begging to open yourself to the full power of the Dark Side of the Force

Freddy Krueger was inspired by a real life serial killer who was a pedophile. He kidnapped children, did unspeakable things then killed them. The dying inside their dreams was inspired by a family who escaped to the US and the young boy in the family was terrified to sleep because he felt that if he slept, he would be killed by something chasing him. He forced himself to stay awake for days at a time before dying of his sleep from a nightmare. I won't be watching A Nightmare on Elm Street anytime soon.

Weird update to the story of The Entity: the family now claims they weren't haunted by a ghost or a demon. Instead, they claim one of the family members, likely the teenage son, has telekinetic powers that were manifested by all the fighting and drama going on in the family at the time, and went away once the family managed to regain some peace.

The Girl Next Door had me the most unsettled I’ve ever been during a movie. I think a big part of that is I had no idea what the movie was about beforehand. Didn’t even know it was a horror movie, I just came across it on cable. Was floored when I later found out it was based on a true story.

I read about the case that inspired _The Exorcist_ in the most recent installment of Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard’s _Killing_ series: _Killing the Witches: The Horror of Salem, Massachusetts, _ and I couldn’t believe my eyes at what Ronald Hunkeler, the boy in question, went through.

I have a fun story about The Birds. During my grad school days I TAed for a professor from UC Santa Cruz who studied Pseudo nitzschia, a diatom responsible for domaic acid poisoning in birds and mammals, causing them to act erratic.

How could you leave out The Town That Dreaded Sundown! That was such a good movie based on the Texarkana murders. I even wrote my own sequel story for it. That’s just how good it is and how it should have been on this list

It truly says something how the famous killer Ed Gein was able to inspire not one, but three of the most terrifying horror stories ever written with Psycho, Texas Chainsaw, & Silence of the Lambs.

If you read the real facts of the Entity haunting case and look at the photographic proof you realize how obviously fake it all was.
