not sure if some of those horror movies are based on a true story but at least nobody mentioned deliverance yet

Yes,they are "based" on true stories.Accurate hell no but based on certain details.
Chainsaw was actually based on a couple stories but mainly on Ed gains,his human furniture and female skin suit.How ever he lived in the 30's I think and the texas chainsaw massacre was supposed to take place in the late sixties and used chainsaws of which ed didn't use.But based on...LOL
Ed gains the movie was way more accurate a portrayal of the man.

Still a good watch...


Cadillac records,I just watched it last week that one is pretty good.
Chuck berry,muddy waters and etta james.

auto focus which was about bob crane is worth seeing i don't think it was a hit at the box-office so alot of people missed it. also which twilight zone episode was he in?

[The Bat]

Boy...was that flick exaggerated, lol.

The title of the thread said "based"...not historicly accurate.
