Hey guys welcome back to most amazing top 5 im Court McGinley.
Lets jump right into our list of the top 5 Unbelievable Horror Stories That Turned Out
To Be Real.
Starting off at our number 5 spot--The Exorcist- This is said to be the best horror film of
all time that its hard to believe its based off of a true story.
The movie came out in 1973 and is about an innocent girl who becomes possessed by a demon.
Her mother then contacts a priest who confirms that she is in fact possessed.
Then the top priest who can actually deal with and exorcism is called to save the girl
from the demon inside her.
This movie is based off the terrifying novel written by William Peter Blatty.
William was also the screen writer for this film seeing as it was a movie based off his
novel.
William based the novel and film on a Washington Post article from a 1949 headline which said-
Priest Frees Mt.
Rainier Boy Reported Held in Devils Grip.
The article then explained how 4 Priests participated in the rite of exorcism on the boy.
According to the priests they allegedly experienced the boy speaking in tongues- the bed shaking
and hovering- and object flying around during the exorcism.
Also a little fun fact for you guys there are actually a series of ominous events that
took place surrounding this year long shoot.
This included the death of 9 people associated with production.
Also 2 of the actors died before the films release- and then theres the story of a mysterious
fire that destroyed the set one weekend.
Not to mention all of the accidents and injuries that happened on set while filming.
In at number 4--The Amityville Horror- this movie came out in 1979 and its about a young
family who moves into a house where a murder was committed.
While there they experience strange and terrifying occurrences.
The real horror story happened in 1976 to the Lutz family.
This family moved into 112 Ocean Avenue.
What they didn’t know about this house was that 13 months before they moved in a man
named Ronald DeFeo Jr brutally murdered his family in this home.
While in their new house this family experienced some pretty paranormal things such as red
eyes appearing in their kitchen window- and even blood and slime dripping down from their
walls.
They didn’t want to stick around to see what other scary things would happen so within
a month they moved out of the house and the small town of Amityville New York all together.
At number 3--Texas Chainsaw Massacre- The first Texas Chainsaw massacre movie came out
in 1974.
In it 2 teenage siblings- along with 3 of there friends are driving on the outback roads
of Texas to go visit their grandfathers grave.
Through the movie they end up at the home of a terrifying murderous cannibalistic family.
In the family we get introduced to leather face who is chainsaw wheedling maniac who
wears a leather mask on his face.
And whats really scary about this character is that he was actually based off of a real
person.
That person was serial killer Ed Gein.
Ed grew up with a very controlling- domineering- and religious mother.
After her death Ed began to act on his morbid fascination with the female body.
He ended up going to the graveyard and digging up recently buried female corpses.
He would then dissect the bodies- but kept the sexual organs and would make suits out
of the skins.
He soon desired more then grave robbing and began to murder middle aged women who looked
similar to his mother.
Authorities began to catch on that he was the one behind these recent killings so they
went to his isolated farmhouse.
It was there they discovered the remains of at least 15 female bodies as well as many
things made out of human skin and remains such as- lampshades-a belt- a wastebasket-
a corset made of skin- a box full of female private parts- bowls made from skulls- and
9 skinned faces of women hanging on the bedroom wall.
He spent 10 years in a mental hospital before he was found guilty of murder as well as being
criminally insane.
Coming in at number 2--Annabelle- The movie Annabelle came out somewhat recently in 2014
it’s a prequel to the Conjuring and its about a couple who began to experience terrifying
supernatural occurrences involving a vintage doll.
Shortly after their home is invaded by a satanic Spirit so they call paranormal investigators
Ed in Lorraine Warren to help them.
So you might be thinking a movie about a possessed doll…how scary can that be?
Well what if I told you that this film was based on a true story yeah that kind of ups
the creep factor doesn’t it?
The doll in the film was hit with some movie magic and is portrayed much creepier looking
then the actual doll that was involved in these supernatural occurrences.
The actual haunted doll is a raggedy Ann doll.
But like I said this movie is actually based off of a true story.
Ed and Lorrain are both real people who have helped with thousands of paranormal investigations.
The Warrens say the original Annabelle began her reign of terror in 1970- after being purchased
in a hobby shop by a mother as a gift for her daughter.
As soon as the doll made it into the house the weird occurrences began.
The daughter first said she would say she saw the doll levitate.
Then both the mother and daughter claimed the doll attacked them and even attempted
to strangle a family friend.
The Warrens were called and they diagnosed the doll as an inhuman demonic spirit.
They then took the doll to their museum in Connecticut for safe keeping.
She is kept in a glass box that is sealed with a key- ritualistic prayers and holy water.
About this Lorraine said she has a priest come and bless the museum and use prayers
that bind the evil spirits.
In at number 1--The Conjuring- Yes this terrifying movie is actually based off of true events.
So if you havnt seen this film basically its about a husband and a wife who are also paranormal
investigators.
Their names are Ed and Loraine Warren- yes the same Ed and Lorraine Warren from the Annabelle
case- and they are trying to help a family that’s being terrorised by a dark presence
in their farmhouse.
So Ed and Lorraine go to the house and once there they discover the land is covered with
a satanic haunting.
And these spirits are targeting the Perron family wherever they go.
Not only has this movie been deemed one of the scariest movies of all time- as I said
this movie was based off real life events- it came out in 2013 but the actual events
took place in the 70s.
So back in 1971 Ed and Lorraine Warren helped a family named the Perrons who had just moved
into a Rhode Island farmhouse and experienced ghosts and terrifying occurrences.
After the movie came out the real life Andrea Perron said that the conjuring was a fair
reflection of the chaos and danger that the family faced on the farm.
She said there were liberties taken and a few discrepancies but overall it is what it
claims to be.
Also to make this film as true to the real life events as they could Director James Wan
asked Lorraine Warren to join the project as a consultant.
The film was mostly inspired by her and her husbands case files and recordings dealing
with the Perrons family haunting.
The entire Perron family was also said to have put their support behind the film.
Its so crazy to think that the things that happened in this terrifying film actually
happened to people in real life.
