10 minutes ago I know what you're thinking: Horror movies that are "based on a true story" are bologna. Well, of course, Hollywood has a way of stretching the truth, especially when scaring audiences is involved, but that does not mean the claim is always a lie either. Some of the best horror movies of all time have fact-based origins. For instance, the creepy child's plaything from Annabelle Comes Home, the latest upcoming entry in The Conjuring Universe, was inspired by an allegedly possessed Raggedy Ann doll. That is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to art imitating bizarre, disturbing reality. But of these films that sport the "inspired by true events" claim, which can also claim to be the best horror movies around? I have chosen 14 of some of the best films that made a scary movie-going experience out of a true disturbing event. The Strangers (2008) Let me clear this up for you right off the bat: No, The Strangers is not based on a specific, true story of a young … [Read more...] about The 14 Best Horror Movies Based On A True Story

Halloween Could Have One Of The Best Horror Openings Of All Time
6 minutes ago For a while now there have been reasons to think that Blumhouse's new Halloween is probably going to be a huge hit when it opens in theaters. The real question has been: How big will David Gordon Green's film be? Now, we may have an answer, as Halloween looks to be headed toward one of the best horror openings of all time. In fact, it could make as much as $70 million. This forecasted $70 million opening bow would give Halloween the second-best horror opening of all time after 2017's IT, which opened in September of last year to $123 million. A $70 million performance would also put Halloween in the record books alongside Venom for October performances in what is turning out to be a stellar month at the box office. Compared to THR's cool $70 million opener, studio estimates have been more conservative. Those have put Halloween's opening weekend in the $50+ million range. Still, even if it underperforms, anything above or around $55 million would give Halloween … [Read more...] about Halloween Could Have One Of The Best Horror Openings Of All Time
Review: ‘Halloween’ is like a horror movie with a contact high
By The Washington Post | PUBLISHED: October 18, 2018 at 6:35 am | UPDATED: October 18, 2018 at 6:36 am By Pat Padua | Washington Post Director David Gordon Green got his start with art-house dramas but is perhaps best known for the baked humor of “Pineapple Express.” So it’s apt that, despite plenty of gore, his version of “Halloween,” the latest sequel to John Carpenter’s 1978 ur-slasher, sometimes feels like a horror movie with a contact high. But if rambling digressions can inspire unexpected connections that lead to a good joke, they also work against the tension required for an effective thriller. Forty years after the events of the first film, the 11th title in the franchise proceeds as if all the other sequels never happened (although the second one’s plot twist is alluded to as an urban legend). A pair of investigative journalists visit deranged killer Michael Myers in his maximum-security institution for the criminally insane. … [Read more...] about Review: ‘Halloween’ is like a horror movie with a contact high
