Whether you believe in paranormal or not, horror movies are always and will remain a major part of our childhood and adulthood for many different reasons. Be it the excitement, fear or fun, watching these films is an experience that no one ever wants to miss. However, there are many bone-chilling facts and inspirations behind the movies that we love and I’ve carefully selected few best ones especially for you guys. Presenting the Top 5 Creepy Horror Movie Facts. Here we go!

The Exorcist is Real

Based on a novel by William Peter Blatty, the real story of The Exorcist stemmed from real-life incidents of a boy named ‘Roland Doe.’ In early January 1949, shortly after his beloved Aunt Harrietâ€™s death, Ronald began to experience scratching sounds and water dripping from the floors and walls of his room. In addition to that, the most outlandish thing is that his mattress would move mysteriously. Ronald’s family consulted doctors, psychiatrists, and their local Lutheran ministers which resulted in a myriad of unexplained events.

Additionally, the production of the film didn’t go as planned either, a baby got injured by a motorcycle, people from the crew unfortunately died, and a baffling fire accident horrified the entire crew out of nowhere and left only Regan MacNeilâ€™s (Linda Blair) room intact. These incidents made the team believe that the set might be cursed.

The Ripper Behind the Scream

More on the bone-chilling side of the Horror Movie Facts, Daniel Harold Rolling aka ‘The Gainesville Ripper’ who mercilessly murdered five college students in Gainesville, Florida over four days is the inspiration behind Scream (1996) directed by Wes Craven and written by Kevin Williamson.

The incidents initiated in August 1990 when Daniel Harold Rolling first broke into 17-year-olds Christina Powell and Sonja Larson’s apartment. Surprisingly, none of the University of Florida students or security didnâ€™t hear Rolling enter the building. First, he found Christina Powell asleep on a couch downstairs and left her alone. He then quietly went upstairs to Sonja Larson’s room, taped her mouth, held her wrists behind her back and let loose a series of violent blows with a knife.

He then went downstairs to Powell, and she sadly experienced the same violent conduct as her roommate Larson, in addition to being raped. Powell was barraged face-first onto the ground, and Rolling stabbed her five times in the back.

The next day, things took a horrific turn, when Rolling murdered an 18-year-old Christa Hoyt by cutting off her head and sat her up in bed. 23-year-olds Tracy Paules and Manuel Taboada were also destined with the same fate as Police mentioned were in the wrong place at the wrong time. The series of horrific college murders by Rolling horrified the community and later became the inspiration behind the cult-classic.

The Real Deal of ‘The Conjuring 2’

The most popular Horror Movie Facts you guys know as it one of the most documented exorcism in history. Similar to the events in The Conjuring 2, the Hodgson family in Enfield, London were haunted by a creepy old man’s spirit named Bill. Bill did die in the recliner chair due to a brain haemorrhage. A rare disturbing video is still available on YouTube where Janet speaks with a deep voice as Bill. Additionally, inexplicable knocks on the walls, things moving and the police officer reporting that she saw a chair move opposite to her was all real.

Images of Janet ‘levitating’ were also captured and the most interesting part is that the role the Warrens played a much smaller role in the Enfield Poltergeist case as opposed to what was shown in the film. They’re simply one of the many paranormal investigators who visited the family during these horrific times.

Annabelle: The Notorious

In real life, the Annabelle doll is gifted by a mother to her daughter and the owners had no satanic cult relations and never tried to cast away the notorious doll as opposed to what we saw in the film. But, they’re several reports from the owners describing that the doll moved from one room to another without any help and real blood was found on the doll’s head and chest.

After performing a seance, the medium detailed that the evil spirit possessing the doll belongs to Annabelle Higgins, who had died at the age of seven and her body was buried under the victim’s apartment. Ed and Lorraine Warren disconfirmed the statements and affirmed that the little girl died in a motorcycle accident outside the apartment building.

Warrens also recount messages like ‘Help Us’ would appear on a paper with childish handwriting around the owners’ home. Warrens also claim that the evil doll also took the life of a young lad who visited their possessed Occult Museum years later and got into a mysterious motorcycle accident after taunting the doll.

An Absolute ‘Psycho’

During the production of 1960 classic horror movie Psycho, a horrendous incident took place as one of Janet Leigh’s body double was murdered on the set brutally. It was later revealed that one of the handymen working on the production slaughtered her to impress director, Alfred Hitchcock.
