Movies inspired on true stories

In this blog you know I like to post about things that really happened, about unsolved mysteries, some of legends too...

But nothing shocks you more than the movies based on true stories, when you realize that it really happened, and much more if its a horror movie: about a maniacs, catastroph or a nature itself.

I was interested in some characters I met in video games, like the Eddie Gluskin from Outlast, or Bloodyface from AHS series.

So let me begin to explore this type of movies, and hope you enjoy it and maybe you like some of them!

1. The girl nextdoor (2007)

The movie: 

Aunt tortures and abuse her niece, and a neighborhood boy fails to alert the authorities.

The real inspiration:

Based on a Jack Ketchum's novel of the same name, is based on the murder of Sylvia Likens, a 16,years old girl from Indiana in 1965. Sylvia and her sister jenny were left in the care of a family friend, Gertrude Baniszewski, when their parents left town as travelling carnival workers.

Baniszewski, along with her children and a few neighborhood kids, locked Sylvia in the basement, where they tortured and abused her until she died of a brain hemorhage and malnutrition.

2. Deranged (1974)

Seeing this photo, did it remind you of someone?
So, if you think about Ed Gein, you're right!
This 70's movie relates us a story about this peculiar character,

Did you ever loved someone so much, that you kept their body even after their death? So, this movie is exactly about that! It is inspired on the most notorious serial killer, Ed Gein.

3. Ravenous (1999)

How would you felt if you had to eat a human meat? This is the most underrated movie about cannibalism which will spook you like nothing else can.

"You are what you eat"

Literally.

Based on a real cult leader Adolfo de Jesús Constanzo, this movie has a gory details of how human sacrifice was practiced by the cult.

4. The dentist (1966)

Ho ho ho.... OMG! I just remember this movie! We rent it one day on the 90`s and as a child, I remember this horrible movie, I don't remember a particular scene, but just a lot of blood and the guy, the dentist, killing their patients.

Just see it before you go to the dentist! ;D
