10 Great Horror Movies Based on True Crime Horrors

"There's a lot of overlap between horror and true crime. Both genres tend to evoke revulsion and fear, and both offer a safe space to explore those feelings. That's led to a long-running relationship between the two; horror's history is filled with movies inspired by true crime. Psycho and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre both infamously and loosely borrowed from Ed Gein's crimes, for example. And the more the true-crime trend grows, the more the lines between true crime and horror blur.
These ten horror movies bring visceral terror, but their true-crime origins mean they're often not for the faint of heart."
