12 Best Based on a True Story Horror Movies

"There's a difference between "based on" and "inspired by." While acknowledging that, it's worth keeping in mind that we're going to consider both categories for this look at the best based on a true story horror movies. The only subgenre we're going to avoid are biopics of serial killers, which is more of a true crime thing anyway. The films can take as many liberties with their sources as they like, but the connection to their inspirations must be established and relatively easy to prove."
