Now -- I’m an adamant believer that horror films to cause crimes -- just like video games
to make you want to steal a car or rob a bank -- well -- at least that’s me anyway.
But a few of these numbers on our list certainly challenge that belief.
With a genre as bloodthirsty as horror -- it’s not a far reach to imagine that some unstable
mind might find solace in an onscreen serial killer or vampire.
So today on Top 5 Scary Videos, we’re going to be listing off the 5 Scary Horror Movies
That Came True.
Before we begin be sure to stick around until the end of the video where I’ll be responding
to a few of your comments.
Let’s jump in.
5 Saw There are 8 films in the Saw franchise -- each
focusing on gruesome and bloody ways to torture a human being in order to judge there moral
compass.
The sadistic killer Jigsaw -- sets up torturous challenges for each new victim -- mutilating
themselves in order to earn freedom -- or a slow and painful death.
We all know the story -- but in a shocking turn of events it crossed over from fiction
into reality in 2009 when two teenages boys -- 14 and 15 -- were charged with three counts
of conspiracy to commit aggravated kidnapping after someone overheard the boys planning
to kidnap -- torture -- and murder a group of people.
They had planned to set up a series of Saw-style games for each of their targets -- in order
to teach them a lesson for supposedly harming others.
They had even set up cameras to document their games -- much like the sadistic killer does
in the Saw movies.
4 The Conjuring We’re all familiar with The Conjuring films
-- especially on the channel -- two paranormal investigators and demonologists -- Ed and
Lorraine Warren -- summoned to the home of The Perrons after a supernatural presence
has made itself known.
It’s a frightening tale -- but more frightening still -- the actors in the film were subjects
of weird goings on during filming.
During the making of the film the real family visited the set several times -- but Carolyn
-- the mother -- refused set foot anywhere near the set.
Various bizarre happenings began to occur.
While the Perron family were visiting, strong winds seemed to surround even during still
days -- where no trees were blowing.
During this time Carolyn was sat at home in Atlanta -- and reported feeling an evil presence
in her home before she fell and was taken to the hospital.
Even the director -- James Wan -- reported strange goings on.
Saying that one night while working late in his office, his dog began to violently growl.
He investigated -- but found nothing -- yet the dog continued -- staring into a corner
at some unseen entity.
Not long after the dog’s head began to move -- as though following something across the
room.
3 Scream In 1996 Scream was released -- one of the
many trailblazers in the slasher subgenre.
It was an instant classic.
Although a somewhat comedic film -- it surprisingly inspired a few real life events shortly after
its release.
In 1998, Mario Padilla, a 16 year old -- and his 14 year old cousin confessed to the stabbing
of Gina Castillo -- Padilla’s mother.
The 14 year old confessing to holding her down while Padilla stabbed her 45 times.
Their crime was referred to as “The Scream Murder” -- after they confessed to being
inspired by the film -- plotting to go on a murder spree -- even purchasing two ghostface
masks as seen in the films -- as well as a voice changer.
2 Queen of the Damned Released in 2002, Queen of the Damned follows
the legendary Vampire Lestat -- who has reinvented himself as an American rock star in the music
scene -- awaking Akasha -- the Queen of all vampires -- from her slumber.
Vowing to make Lestat her king -- however -- during this time a young woman from London
falls in love with the rock star vampire.
Creating quite the pickle.
Now -- in 2002 -- Allan Menzies murdered his friend Thomas McKendrick -- after Menzies
claimed he had been visited one night by Akasha -- the female vampire from the film.
Who had supposedly offered him eternal life as a vampire if he killed the people she told
him to.
Once Menzies murdered McKendrick with a hammer -- he drank his blood and ate his flesh -- before
burying him in a shallow grave.
Now -- it’s clear that he was inspired by the film and it’s reported that he had watched
it up to 100 times before commiting the vile acts.
1 Rosemary’s Baby Released in 1968 and directed by Roman Polanski
-- Rosemary’s Baby focuses on a pregnant woman who believes her husband has made a
pact with a Satan worshipping cult -- offering up their unborn child as a sacrifice.
Now -- in 1969 while Polanski was working in London his pregnant wife -- Sharon Tate
-- was left at their LA home with a few friends -- and on the evening August 8th they were
viciously murdered by members of the Manson Family under instruction of Charles Manson.
Now -- I’m not saying that Manson was inspired by Polanski’s film -- but it’s certainly
an odd coincidence -- considering Tate was due to give birth two weeks after she was
brutally murdered.
Well, there we have it!

Before I go I just want to respond to a few comments from one of our last videos, Top
5 Scary Demons You can Actually Summon.
Frank Pitts said “Damn Lucy, where have you been all my life” -- in the dark depths
of the underworld, Frank, that’s where.
Red Dragon said “You only had 2 demons on this list.
The others were scary games.
WTF is up with this list?”
-- well Red Dragon -- the games I listed allow you to summon demons -- hence why they are
on the list.
Please pay attention.
James Mckeehan said “This video would be much more effective if you demonstrated at
least one summoning” -- well James, according to you guys I’m already creepy enough -- I
think me summoning a demon would push you all over the edge.
Don Barker said “Is it just me or is your camera overexposing your face?
-- Actually Don -- no -- I am just THAT pale.
And finally Andrew Richards said “You seem to use your hands a lot, not a bad thing I
quite like it.
Are you from the UK?
If so where?”
-- Well -- as you can tell Andrew I’m not naturally a hand talker but put me in front
of a camera and they just have a mind of their own.
And yes -- I am from the UK -- originally Hertfordshire.
