you
turn around
do not look back welcome to watch mojo
and today we'll be counting down our
picks for the top 10 horror movies that
left out the real horrific ending
not in my movie
for this list we'll be looking at scary
movies either based on or inspired by
true events that omitted key details
that would have left the viewer on an
even bigger downer since we'll be
discussing the endings to these movies
here is your spoiler warning any other
horror movies you know based on true
stories let us know in the comments
number 10 the hills have eyes
no there's never been a family of
cannibals that hid out in the nevada
desert and ambushed unsuspecting
travelers at least we don't think so but
writer-director of the hills have eyes
wes craven did lift a lot of the story
from the legend of sonny bean anyone
making a successful career as a bandit
would be no stranger to fighting and
killing for their loot
and sony threw himself wholeheartedly
into the business of indiscriminate
murder according to folklore bean was a
cannibal in the 16th or 17th century
scotland who took up residency with his
wife agnes in a clandestine cave
over time the two purportedly produced
over three dozen children and
grandchildren all of whom would take to
the roads at night and prey upon
passers-by i'll eat the heart of your
stinking memory
i'll eat the brains of your kids kids
though many doubt the beans existed we
don't think the jupiter clan in the
movie ate upwards of one thousand people
like the beans supposedly did
babies there
you fan
then you see
number nine the haunting in connecticut
for anyone that loves ed and lorraine
warren's exploits in the conjuring
movies let us put a damper on things
though the paranormal investigators
don't appear in this movie they did
investigate the reportedly haunted
former mortuary in real life giving it
the old stamp of approval after they
exercised the supernatural entities
maybe the place is haunted however many
have since called them into question
with skeptic benjamin radford reporting
that ed warren told ray garton author of
the original book to quote make it up
and make it scary after ed died in 2006
even more authors have reportedly come
forward claiming he told them similar
things about other cases
nothing like the horrors of human
duplicity ruining a mediocre movie they
say that god works in mysterious ways
they just don't always tell you how
mysterious those ways can be
consider yourself warned number eight
snow town
come and sell our berry you wouldn't
expect a brutal movie like snow town to
leave out any horrific details and you'd
be mostly right but there were longer
reaching ramifications of this
particular murder spree that most don't
discuss it's a very dark tale
and the darkness of that tale is very
attractive against the town called snow
though a majority of the bodies were
found in snowtown australia only one of
the 12 victims were actually killed
there however that didn't stop the crime
spree from being primarily known as the
snowtown murders at the time it was just
more of a spotlight on the town and
and on the
gruesome facts of it all
but we probably didn't realize it was
going to have a negative such a negative
impact on the town after this all came
to light in 1999 snowtown did see a
brief economic boost from morbidly
fascinated tourists but has since been
according to the age newspaper forever
stigmatized it got so bad that the town
has even considered changing its name
but that has yet to occur i would be
perfectly happy for the memory of the
bodies in the barrel to fight into the
past but i accept that we will never be
rid of the stigma of it number seven the
amityville horror it doesn't seem kind
of strange to buy this house honey well
houses don't kill people
people kill people another haunting the
warrens investigated in real life the
amityville case is perhaps the most
famous or should we say infamous in
history no doubt thanks to the dozens of
films in the franchise don't even look
at it kathy
let's get out of here though many know
the lutz family supposedly fled their
ocean avenue home in 1976 for fear of
their lives almost as many also know
that their claims have been widely
disputed so much so that the aftermath
is probably more interesting than the
hauntings themselves after the
publication of the book a media frenzy
erupted with many calling the lutz's
frauds and the family filing multiple
lawsuits in response we'll forgive the
1979 movie for being so recent but the
2005 remake really could have delved
into this untold angle wipe that stupid
look off your face and go to bed
run number six scream
no the screen movies aren't based on
real events but they were originally
inspired by one watch a few movies take
a few notes
it was fun in 1991 a serial killer danny
rowling was charged for five murders he
committed the year before in gainesville
florida though ghostface also kills five
people in the first scream movie the way
rowling executed his crimes was far more
heinous over the course of four days
rowling forcibly entered the homes of
his college age victims while most of
them were sleeping he then carried out
his wicked deeds being far more brutal
with his female victims than his male
though every scream movie features
multiple survivors sadly none lived to
tell the tale of rowling who was
subsequently executed in 2006. several
more local teens are dead bringing to an
end the harrowing mystery of the mass
killings that has terrified this
peaceful community like the plot of some
scary movie number five back country
what sorry what
and you know we'd be lucky to see
anything bigger than a chipmunk right
in backcountry a couple's camping trip
takes a turn for the perilous when
they're stalked and attacked by a
vicious black bear
[Applause]
after her boyfriend alex is eaten alive
jen finds her way to their canoe and
rows her way to help as the film ends
the movie stays mostly true to the real
event that inspired it but with some key
differences in ontario canada in 2005
mark jordan was indeed able to ward off
a bear as it mauled his wife jaclyn
perry jordan then got them on the river
and found others but perry then
succumbed to her injuries before she
could receive proper medical attention
while the movie is more savage imagine
the heartbreak of being so close to
being sufficiently rescued
number four the town that dreaded
sundown
[Applause]
one of the first ever slasher movies
1976's the town that dreaded sundown
depicts the moonlight murders that took
place in texarkana in 1946
though the assailant dubbed the phantom
killer was never caught much like in the
film the film does leave out a potential
murder shortly after the last official
murder the body of earl mcspadden was
found after being struck by a train only
mcfadden was already dead beforehand
leading many to suspect that it was the
phantom's doing though the original town
that dreaded sundown omitted this its
2014 meta sequel seemingly repurposes
mcfadden into the character hank
mccready whose grandson dons the phantom
persona in an effort to make the town
acknowledge his family's tragedy one of
you is equity's grandson i
[Music]
am and now
thanks to you
you're gonna remember my granddaddy
number three the haunting of sharon tate
do you think it's possible to alter the
course of our fate or is our story just
our book
written before we're even born almost
everyone knows the tragedy that befell
actress sharon tate if not they almost
surely know the name charles manson in
august of 1969 followers of manson
arrived at tate's home and proceeded to
kill all of those inside including the
pregnant tate though the haunting of
sharon tate shows the real murders in a
nightmare sequence early on the actual
climax instead has the victims turn the
tables on their oppressors however once
everything is said and done sharon and
company realize they didn't survive the
attack and what they experienced was
simply an alternate reality of what
could have been i guess you could say
i live in a fairytale world looking at
everything through rose-colored glasses
[Music]
i probably always will curiously enough
this wasn't the only 2019 movie to
re-contextualize the events as once upon
a time in hollywood did so to much
greater effect
number two my friend dahmer my friend
dahmer doesn't delve into the outright
horror that serial killer jeffrey dahmer
would become known for but that doesn't
mean it's not without its tenser moments
sorry man
my mom will just kill me if i don't get
on for dinner on time so
i just
yeah i'll see you on the flip side
dahmer adapted from the graphic novel of
the same name by john durf bachderv the
film recounts durf's relationship with
the young jeffrey during their high
school years sorry
why'd you do that
i just
wanted to see what its insights looked
like throughout the film a series of red
flags regarding jeffrey's behavior goes
largely unnoticed and the film ends with
him picking up a hitchhiker named steven
hicks who was dahmer's first victim in
real life my name is jeffrey
stephen x nice to meet you obviously the
film never purported to be about the
murders instead opting for a fascinating
look at nascent psychopathy plus there
are other biopics that do get into the
nitty-gritty of it all

number one the exorcism of emily rose
don't ask it any questions
or pay any attention to what it says
it
we won't be dealing with emily tonight
part demonic possession movie part
courtroom drama the exorcism of emily
rose tells the story of a college girl
who dies sometime after a failed
exorcism and the subsequent trial of the
priest for negligent homicide though
alleging to be about a real person named
emily rose the film actually took
inspiration from the story of a german
woman named annelise michelle and i am
lucifer the devil in the flesh
whereas emily has a single exorcism
performed on her in the movie hence the
singularity in its title michelle
reportedly underwent a whopping 67 over
the course of 10 months before
succumbing to malnutrition did you
encourage her to eat
yes every time i saw her but the few
times she tried it seemed like
it seemed like she she couldn't swallow
her she couldn't keep it down we can
understand why the movie would want to
streamline things but truth really is
stranger than fiction
no
the defense rests do you agree with our
picks check out this other recent clip
