Yes! That’s why I found it so disturbing! For a movie to be truly terrifying for me, it has to depict something that I fear could realistically happen to me, like a random home invasion. I don’t find the.paranormal/haunting movies to be scary at all because I don’t really worry about a demonic presence hanging around my apartment.

“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.

The Anneliese Michel story for which was the inspiration of The Exorcism of Emily Rose was to me the most compelling and realistic depiction of Demonic possession. There is a documentary about that girl and like the movie it leaves you completely speechless and up to your own conclusion of what really happened to her. She could have easily been believably psychotic, epileptic or a number of medical conditions. Nobody can really say for certain if she died naturally. Her deterioration and decay of her body was truly horrifying beyond comprehension.

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....

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 made for TV movie Duel was allegedly based on an actual event. As the story goes, the person who wrote the screen play for the movie drew inspiration from a somewhat terrifying encounter with a truck driver while driving back to Los Angeles from somewhere up in northern California. He apparently cut a truck driver off on the freeway. The driver of the truck apparently took offense to this and stocked the man in his car for a considerable distance. In an attempt to lose the truck once and for all, the man suddenly pulled off the freeway and into the town of Tulare, at which time the truck followed suite and pulled off with him. He was finally able to shake the driver by turning sharply down a narrow alleyway the truck was too big to access, thus ending the terrifying ordeal. Once he emerged from the other side of the alleyway, he quickly pulled back on to the south bound freeway (Highway 99) and continued on his way to Los Angeles and never encountered the driver or the truck again. This frightening ordeal was allegedly the basis for the very famous TV movie directed by a them unknown Steven Spielberg.

The story about Jaws is that their where actually 2 shark's. A bullshark had made it's way up out of the ocean, and toward a lake or river. Where it attacked and killed a man and young boy. As for the real killer a young great white shark was caught and killed making it the real killer of the Jersey Shore.

Seeing "Jaws" in my prepubescent years made me too terrified to be able to fall asleep on my father's waterbed, which he had set up in the bedroom of his travel trailer, because I convinced myself that shark eggs could travel through the garden hose he used to fill it.

This cracked me up, the shark eggs traveling thru a garden hose, lol! 😂 We all think weird shit sometimes when we’re kids. After I saw Piranha, I was even afraid of pools & lakes until someone pointed out that those are closed bodies of water, so how would piranhas get in there. I was like, oh yeah, lol 😂 But then I figured they could somehow get dumped in there & I was scared again, lol. Of course, I now know that irl, piranhas don’t attack people like that. But I still don’t like lakes & rivers. Too many other things, like Creature from the Black Lagoon, Jason Voorhees, Lake Placid, etc… too much shit can be in the water & u can’t see.

Why is it that Hollywood always likes to give sharks a hard time? Sharks actually attack very, very, very few people. More people are killed by falling vending machines than by sharks. Also, some species are harmless, such as nurse sharks. Did you know that the number of sharks that were hunted went up after the release of “Jaws”, due to people seeing and treating them as scary movie monsters rather than sentient animals that did nothing to them? Also, whereas only a very minor number of people are killed by sharks each year, millions of sharks are killed by people, especially for their fins (for shark fin soup). The sharks are caught, have their dorsal fins lopped off and are then thrown back alive! 😢 🦈 If sharks could make horror movies, they would probably star humans as the scary villains!

My parents took me to the drive in when I was very young (1976 maybe?) to see The Exorcist and apparently I thought it was hilarious. I giggled at all the antics. But it was when my mom took me to the movie theater to see Poltergeist that I really freaked out. The scene of the guy’s face melting off was too much for an elementary school kid. I didn’t watch anymore horror films until I saw A Nightmare on Elm Street at a sleepover in middle school. I’ve been a horror movie buff ever since. Can’t say any of it truly scares me, but I’ve never been able to bring myself to see Poltergeist again (though I enjoyed watching the sequels). Maybe it’s time - just celebrated my 50th birthday and I think it’s time to try it again. 🤣

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.

​@thedevilsrockstxr2309 all three of the movies are somehow based off Ed. He was a loner, like Norman Bates. He made things out of human bodies like Texas Chainsaw and he made clothes as well just like in Silence of the Lambs.

@@friendsfan5, nods. But it is just like we are told in the movie *_The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance_* , the legend has become so ingrained.. people still "print the legend" at least on the internet and such. Gein absolutely deserved dying being locked up, that is for certain.. because he most likely would have been as bad as any of those characters he inspired.

For # 21 when you say Ils in french the s is always muted in the plural form of the pronoun. So you write Ils with the s, but you say it without the s. The only exception is when there’s a verb that start with a vowel right after the pronoun. The s is not muted when you say it. I’m french canadian by the way.
