Hollywood's Horror Movies That Based On True Stories

Shows and films are often plagued with the tag line, “Inspired by actual events” or “Based on a true story”. Now, most of the time they aren’t technically lying: someone somewhere did something horrible and they wrote about it in their blog. Usually, films and TV jump at the chance for as much gore and heart-wrenching details they can squeeze out of their sources not unlike a teenager popping a dozen zits (I'm so sorry for that mental image).

But once in a while Hollywood does something truly shocking: they show restraint because the details in the actual story are so outrageous that audiences wouldn’t believe it.
