25 Terrifying Horror Movies Based on True Stories

"One of the most enjoyable aspects of horror movies is that they can make reality look great by comparison. After all, at least we don't have to worry about getting kidnapped by a homicidal nurse or eaten by the undead anytime soon, right? But some of the most terrifying movies out there are a case of art imitating life, rather than the other way around. These 25 heart-stopping horror movies based on true stories prove that sometimes real life is so much scarier than fiction."
