Horror films have produced some of the most iconic figures in pop culture.
But not all scary movies are completely fictional; some are actually based on real life.
But creating a completely original, compelling, and terrifying horror story can be challenging.
That's why some of the most iconic and successful scary movies are based on things that actually happened in the real world.
These are the real stories and crimes that influenced some of the most classic horror films of all time, including "The Exorcist," "Nightmare on Elm Street," and "Jaws."
