yes orcorse horrors is real
Some horror movies are based on real events, or loosely inspired by real events.
Based partly on the real-life case of the Gainesville Ripper, Scream was inspired by Williamson's passion for horror films. This inspired Him to write scream after watching the arrest of the Gainesville ripper.
NO, the Scream movies are NOT based on true events. They are purely fictional.
A lot of horror movies are based on real fears that many people have. People are scared of being in a place they are unfamiliar with and having something bad happen. It's a fear of not knowing how to escape or being unable to control your surroundings. Horror movies bases around old motels are playing on this fear.
Curiosity, and the lure of a historical puzzle- such as Titanic and Anastasia, for example.
The Paranormal Activity movies are completely fictional, and NOT based on true events.
A very few are real- mostly crime stories. Almost all horror movies are fantasy- not real. Things like Nightmare on Elm Street- fantasy.
What do you mean, are they "real?" Of course they're not real. None of it's real. It's a MOVIE. Movies are make-believe, obviously. Perhaps I am misunderstanding your question? You can't possibly think that when people are killed in horror movies, the actors are actually murdered on-screen, for real? Who on earth would volunteer to be murdered, just to make a movie?
The Mott family in "American Horror Story: Freak Show" is a fictional creation, though it draws inspiration from real historical figures. The character Dell Toledo, for instance, is based on a real-life performer named Dell who was a part of the circus sideshow community. While the show incorporates elements of true events and historical contexts, the Mott family's specific story and dynamics are not directly based on true events.
No, Michael Myers is 100% fictional. None of the movies are based on "true events" and Haddonfield Illinois is also 100% fictional, it was named after where Debra Hill was born; Haddonfield, New Jersey.
Most movies take "artistic license" with the truth, even those based on real events.
All scary movies are real in the sense that they exist. You can buy them, rent them, watch them. But no movie is real in the sense that it actually happened. Even the ones that really are 'based on a true story' or 'inspired by true events' are fictionalized to heighten suspense, fear, and drama.
