movies that people like to watch this time of year
that are actually based on true events is going viral,
(01:39):
and you might be surprised at what movies are actually
based on real things. Let's go over it right now.
The Amonville Horror. Yeah, it's actually based on a true story.
If you don't know what that film is, it's a
family moves into a Long Island home and is tormented
by violent paranormal forces. The real story behind that is
there was a family called the Lutz family that said
they experienced monic activity after a gruesome nineteen seventy four
(02:02):
murder took place in their house. Later residents never reported
a thing. Just weird real estate values, I guess.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
But I'm sure I think the house is still there,
isn't it. I think it is still around? Yeah? Wait,
what is it called Amityville Horror? Oh? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
If there's anybody that actually lives in that house. Sorry,
keep going, I really.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Why would you If it's haunted.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Some people are.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Into this, some people would move into it. I don't
think I would buy a haunted house. If if like
there were rumors that have been haunted and people were like, yeah,
all this stuff has gone on, is documented, I'd be like,
I'll just I'll wait, even if it's an area I
really want to live in, I'll wait for a house
that is not like all haunted.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yeah, used to be cheaper.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
You're past I don't think ten years.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
There's a list going viral of horror movies that people
like to watch for Halloween that are actually based on
true events.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Some of it might surprise you.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
A Nightmare on Elm Street from nineteen eighty four, No
you don't remember that teenagers are hunted down in their
dreams by Freddy Krueger, a burned killer with a bladed glove,
and that is actually based on an event that director
Wes Craven rest. Wes Craven read about a boy who
died after refusing to go to sleep due to recurring nightmares.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
What it was the inspiration for the idea.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
What's that one thing where that you have if you
you can't sleep insomnia, yes, but in domnia, but it's
the one you're trapped in your own body.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
It's it's like yours.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Yes, I think it's sleep Prolysses where it's like you
proses is trippy, are actually like trapped in your own
body and you like you're awake, but your body's not awake,
and so it's like it's weird. It.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah, I've had it happen a few times. It is trippy.
Sleep pross is a very weird thing.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
So your eyes are open.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yeah, you're like awake, but you can't move. A lot
of times there's like this little like demon Elffingy in
the corner that a lot of people report. I didn't
see the demon Elffingy, but I did hear talking, so
it was really weird. It was like weird whispery talking
and it was like I felt a breath, like it
was like windy on me.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
But you can't move.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
You're trying to like I was trying to scream, but
you can't scream, so you're kind of awaken, kind of
in a dream straight state.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
It's very nuts. Yeah, and that demon in the corner.
You probably already had one around him.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
But like, do that's so scary?
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Like when you feel pressure on you? Not really, it's
a little different. Maybe it is, I don't know, but
you wake up and you can't move. It's really trippy.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
That is scary.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Another horror movie that is based on true events to
conjuring from twenty thirteen's Pardormal Investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren
helped the Rhode Island family battle a malevolent spirit. That's
from the film, but the real story. The Warrens documented
hundreds of alleged hauntings, and this movie adapts their nineteen
seventies parent family case. So these Warren people have actually
(04:45):
been inspiration for a lot of scary movies. Oh good, Yeah,
they get paid for that. I'm sure they did. I mean,
you know, seriously, the movie Annabelle in twenty fourteen. Yeah,
a film about a demonic doll that terrorizes young people
and a young couple on their baby.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
That's based on a real story.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Isn't that doll real? Isn't that the one that lives
in Vegas? There is a real doll. It's actually a
raggedy ann doll that the Warren's kept in one of
their ocult museums and it said to have caused it
accidents of bad luck.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
So it's a raggedy an doll. Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
In the movie it's like an actual, like old porcelain
type doll, but it's a that's even scarier that it's
a raggedy andol.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I don't know why they change that.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
I can say I watched the last movie and they
had it like in a case, and then you just
see it like someone like messed up the case or something,
and then you just see all this stuff happen. But
I thought that influencer bought a house where the doll lives,
didn't he recently?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
I know that there was a story about an influencer
that went to visit the doll in Vegas at this
museum that has all the haunted stuff, and then he
was like cursed, really bad.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Why would you put all the haunting things in a
museum together.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
People are into this stuff, they're asking for possession, and
I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
The nineteen ninety six classic scream Whichebrity remembers a mass
killer TOMPs teens with horror movie Trip Before slashing them up.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
That was based on a real story as well.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Wait what, it's inspired by the nineteen ninety Gainesville Ripper
murders in Florida where five college students were killed.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Oh geez, okay, well, what's kind of nuts about that?
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Is later on in the screen franchise, it like jokes
on the fact that there was a movie made about
the massacre, and then like that's what people keep talking
about it, and then it happens again.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
But so that's kind of what happens. We actually made
a movie about that.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yeah, it's trippy to see how many of these things
are actually based on real events. The very classic The Birds,
which is a horror film from the sixties you might
not have heard about, but no, I don't know that.
It's a seaside town that's overrun by violent and explicitly
aggressive birds.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
It's actually a scary movie. I've watched it before. It's trippy.
What kind of bird are just regular birds?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I don't know, like what they start attacking people and
you know it's nuts, But I guess in nineteen sixty one,
thousands of sea birds in Capital Capitola, Capitola, California, wherever
that is crashed into homes cars actually ended up causing
some deaths of people. Was later blamed by toxic algae
affecting the bird's brains like zombies.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Meanwhile, I was gonna be like, well, I know the
animals can see ghosts, so maybe they were more easily
possessed and then.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Leaning attacking people. It's true.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
And then of course the Exorcist, the Exorcism of the
Exorcism of Emily Rose, Poltergeist, all of those based on
the same story.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
So what
Sorry, it's The Jewel Show. You know what that sound is.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
