Is the fugitive based on a true story?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The answer has long been in dispute. The belief remains that the series was based on the tragic case of Dr. Sam Sheppard, accused of killing his wife in 1954. However, series creator, Roy Huggins, has denied that the show was based on Sheppard.

Yes. was an American osteopathic physician[2]and neurosurgeon, who was involved in an infamous and controversial murder trial. He was convicted of the murder of his pregnant wife, Marilyn Reese Sheppard. Sheppard served almost a decade in the Ohio Penitentiary before his 1954 conviction was overturned. In 1966, he was acquitted in a new trial. In 2000, Sheppard's son Sam Reese Sheppard, who had been seven years old at the time of his mother's murder, sued the State of Ohio for his father's alleged wrongful imprisonment. After a 10-week-long trial, a civil jury unanimously ruled against him.

I think the movie is based on a true story

But because the government needs to keep it a secret because of major uproar. I think there is a family that's has a lot of people in it and actually murders similar or does exactly that. Killing in weird ways.

Was Serial mom based on a true story?

Asked by Wiki User

No - it was completely fictional. But the idea for the script may have come from Wanda Holloway the "Texas-Cheerleader-Murdering-Mom" who killed to increase her 13 year old daughter's chances of getting on the squad.

What was Pennywise really?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pennywise (the dancing clown) was a character in Stephen King's IT -a book, later a film. He first appears in 1740, removing 300 people from a Derry township. It was destroyed in 1985 (apparently) by the second Ritual of Chud.

The book implies that just as there was a creator of things, and the Turtle, so there was also a destroyer of things, as there is always a balance. This is what Pennywise is.

How did Freddy Krueger die?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Freddy Krueger was killed by the parents of the children of Springwood because he was truthfully the murderer and kidnapper of the missing children of Springwood.He died again in "Freddy's Dead: The final nightmare" this time killed by maggie. But he's not really dead (again).

He had killed billions of kids in elm street already after he kidnapped them and the parents got mad and they stormed his house and threw a whole bunch of things on fire through the windows and caught his house on fire at night when he was sleeping. which he then ran out to his hiding place, got chased and was thrown into the furnace there and burned alive. the next morning he was dead in the furnace and none of the parents got put in jail so he came back but this time even stronger then he discovered his burns on his skin and he got up and sewed a glove to his hand and sewed five knives with extremely sharp blades to his gloves and grabbed a top hat and left to dream world where He could kill kids without any problems and he did and became master of the dream world

Jason's body count is more like 172 when you count every on screen kill from every movie he has appeared in. This does not count Friday the 13th part 1 ( original), Friday the 13th part 5 ( roy was the actual killer) or the Rob Zombie remakes

What is the best scary movie to watch on Halloween?

User Avatar

Asked by Blaze Rogahn

The obvious answer, of course, is John Carpenter's Halloween (1978), which was one of the very first "slasher" horror films that became ever—so—popular in the 1980s.

Other notable films in the horror genre that have given me the creeps in particular are The Birds (1963), Alien (1979), The Shining (1980), John Carpenter's The Thing (1982), It Follows (2014), The Witch (2015), Hereditary (2018), and this year's The Lighthouse.

Who are the characters in 'The Birds' by Alfred Hitchcock?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is a horror movie wherein all the normal, everyday birds become hostile and begin attacking humans indescriminately, resulting in death and destruction.

Melanie Daniels is shopping in a San Francisco pet store when she meets Mitch Brenner. Mitch is looking to buy a pair of love birds for his young sister's birthday; he recognizes Melanie but pretends to mistake her for an assistant. She decides to get her own back by buying the birds and driving up to the quiet coastal town of Bodega Bay, where Mitch spends his weekends with his sister and mother. Shortly after she arrives, Melanie Daniels is crossing a lake, she is nipped by a gull. Gradually, incidents of bird attacks on humans by pecking increases. Glass windows splinter as birds dive into them, children are sent home from school to safety, townspeople take refuge in a lunchroom, Ms. Daniels is trapped in a phone booth, and, finally, everyone hides in homes tightly boarded up against repeated attacks by the birds. It is never stated in the movie what caused the birds to attack.

Yes, there are two: the original, which came out in 1979, and the remake, which came out in 2005. You can rent or buy them anywhere movies are sold or rented.

There were also a few sequels: Amityville: The Possession(1982), Amityville: 3-D (1983), Amityville: The Evil Escapes (1989), which was a made-for-TV movie, and The Amityville Curse (1990), which was straight-to-video.

Also, a new one is planned for 2012, called Amityville: The Lost Tapes.
