But sometimes, what we’re viewing actually has deep roots in real life. And in the following cases, the true stories are much scarier than the films could ever be. These are 4 Horror Movies Based on Real Events. 4. Borderland Based on Adolfo de Jesus ConstanzoBorderland was a 2007 film by Zev Berman that told the tale of a group of American college students escaping to Mexico for spring break. There, they run into a bizarre set of characters as one of their friends is kidnapped, tortured and then mutilated. They soon realize they're dealing with more than just kidnappers but also a powerful cult/drug gang, headed by an American serial killer. The friends struggle to survive as they are hunted and killed off one by one. The movie Borderland is scary, and part of it actually happened in real life.Known as "Los Narcosatánicos," Adolfo de Jesus Constanzo was a Cuban-American serial killer, drug dealer and religious cult leader who abducted and murdered, Mark Kilroy Jr., a University of Texas student when he was visiting Mexico for spring break in 1989. 3. The Haunting in Connecticut Based on Al and Carmen SnedekerDirected by Peter Cornwell and released in 2009, The Haunting in Connecticut was released to a moderately successful box-office opening. It told the story of the Campbells as they move into a new home to be near a hospital where their cancer-stricken son would be treated. Little did they know, the new house once served as mortuary until it's traumatic past starts manifesting in violent ways on the family. While it made for a good scary movie, a real life family in Connecticut suffered through much the same experiences as the fictional Campbells. Al and Carmen Snedeker moved to Southington, Connecticut to be closer to UCONN hospital because their son was battling cancer. It was June 30, 1986 when they moved into their new home with their young daughter and three sons. 2. The Entity Based on Doris Bither While The Poltergeist was enjoying box office success, another, lesser-known movie was released at the same time that dealt with a similar theme. Starring award winning actor, Barbara Hershey, the film was called The Entity. It told the story of a young mother named Carla Morran whose life was changed after being repeatedly attacked by unseen forces in her home. In real life, the story of Carla was inspired from the true story of Doris Bither. Her story also inspired the popular book by Frank De Felitta in 1978 titled The Entity, which was in turn, turned into the movie. Doris had a young daughter and three sons living with her in Culver City. Soon after she moved in, an elderly lady knocked on her door and told her to leave the house saying she used to live there as a little girl and that there's was something evil within. While she was shocked at the warning, she did not leave. 1.

The graphic depiction of the crimes and the brutality doled out on Meg is difficult to watch.

SCARY MYSTERIES - TWISTED TWO's: The Majestic 12 and The Orchard Park Apartment KillerTales of hauntings, murder and scary mysteries, Every week Twisted Two's dives into a pair of uniquely terrifying true stories that are worthy of a more in depth look. This week we focus on a mysterious group that could potentially hold the secret truth about UFOs and a crazed killer that stalks apartment owners. Get ready for Scary Mysteries, Twisted Two’s #1 The Majestic 12First reported by UFOologists in the 80s, the Majestic 12 group is believed to have started during the Roswell incident in New Mexico in 1947. The theory goes that there was a massive UFO cover-up during the time and that a higher up, more secretive government branch knows all about it. This organization, dubbed as Majestic 12 or MJ-12 was allegedly created by President Truman to help manage extraterrestrial investigations while ensuring strict secrecy. Conspiracy theorists believe that they even go so far as to kill anyone that threatens to expose their secrets. But if the group is as top secret as many say, then how do we even know of it’s existence? The first mention of MJ-12 comes from a mysterious manila envelope that was dropped in writer and UFO researcher, Jamie Shandera's mail slot on December of 1984. Inside the envelope was a roll of film that Shandera with his partner Bill Moore developed. They were pictures of several documents, and they formed the basis for the Majestic 12 theory. The Orchard Park Apartment KillerIt was July 27 in1979 and Bob Smith was walking towards Alyse Rankin's apartment wondering where she was. Alyse had asked Bob, who was her co-worker, to pick her up because her car was being repaired. When he approached her apartment door it was already open and When he looked in, saw her naked body lying on the bed with her feet bound and a pillow covering her upper body. He removed the pillow and to his horror saw that Rankin's head was missing. Policed were called in who determined that Rankin had been sexually assaulted before she was killed and decapitated. They studied the carnage and discovered small droplets of blood leading out from the side of the bed. It trailed out of the apartment and into the parking lot where it seemed the head was placed in a vehicle because that’s where the trail ended. Despite a thorough search, Rankin's head was never found. So there were a pair of some of the most secretive and sinister true stories around.

Top 5 Reasons proving Ancient Civilizations Were Visited by Advanced Beings We’re taught that man was once primitive and over time evolved into the what we are today. But what if that’s not the whole truth? What if ancient man possessed sophisticated technology from advanced beings that we can’t comprehend, even today? The following ancient objects, text and structures will make you question the history books. These are the top 5 reasons proving ancient civilizations were visited by advanced beings.5. The Aluminum Wedge of Aiud I uteIn 1974, workers in Aiud, Romania were digging a trench along the Mures River when they discovered a set of Mastodon bones buried under 35 feet of soil. Mastodons are prehistoric creatures that are related to the elephant. They're bigger, stronger and lived in prehistoric times and while it was a great find, there was something else that was much more exciting. Right next to the bones was a curious artifact. An aluminum-shaped wedge, that looked like it came from a hammer. But why was it buried under 35 feet of soil and next to the bones?4. Nazca Lines Hailed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and known throughout the world, The Nazca Lines of Peru are both a mysterious and marvelous site. Because of Nazca's unique topography and climate, these lines have been preserved throughout the centuries and what they showcase still perplexes many people today. First discovered by Peruvian archaeologist Toribio Mejia Xesspe in 1927, he thought that the shallow etched white lines in the Nazca valley were simply trail markers. It wasn't until the 1930's when civilian and military aircrafts flew around the area and discovered the huge pieces of line work on the region connected to form unique figures and shapes.3. Aliens and the Third Reich When it comes to aliens, most people don't immediately associate the Nazis with them. But it seems, the Third Reich might have known something that the rest of the world didn't.If indeed advanced beings visited us in the distant past, is it possible they could have visited even during the 20th century? The rise of Hitler and his army’s acquisition of unique technologies at that time was overwhelming. They managed to quickly develop unique and powerful weapons and were in fact, during World War 2 creating new weapons and vehicles that were far more technologically advanced then any others of the time.2. Puma PunkuOne of the most ancient sites in the world, Puma Punku remains a strange and enduring mystery. Found southeast of Lake Titicaca in the Andes Mountains, Puma Punku has been dated to be around 15,000 BC and predates that of the Inca settlement. Puma Punku is actually a part of Tiwanaku, a significant and religious site in later Incan traditions. Known in Aymara language as "The Door of the Puma," the complex is made up of an unwalled western court, terraced platform, a walled in court in the eastern section and a central esplanade without any walls.1. Ancient Text and CarvingsPerhaps the strongest proof hinting at the existence of advanced beings interacting with ancient mankind are those found in ancient texts and carvings. For modern man, much of ancient civilization is a mystery, but what's even more puzzling is seeing unusual creatures or objects that don't have any place in the past.There are several examples of this including those found in Sumerian text. Sumer is thought to be the first urban civilization in Mesopotamia. In their writings they tell the tales of Sumerians being used by "gods" called the Anuna or the Anunaki to help harvest the land.so there were the Top 5 Reasons proving Ancient Civilizations Were Visited by Advanced BeingsSupport the show Learn more about your ad choices.
