8 Horror Movies No One Expected To Come True

We all know that many horror movies were actually based on true events, but not many of us realize that some of them can lead to equally horrific consequences. You might think that a horror movie based on a real serial killer or a series of mass murders is awful enough, but just imagine for one second that a horror movie inspires something like that. It’s the creepiest thing in the world! Copycat killers get inspired and reenact their favorite horror movie scenes, others think that evil movie characters speak to them and decide to act on those voices in their heads. Here are 10 horror movies that inspired real life crimes.

 

 

The Saw
The plot of the movie revolves around a sadistic killer called Jigsaw. He created elaborate traps for his victims and made them mutilate themselves in order to get out. Two teenagers decided to reenact this plot in real life. These teenagers, age 14 and 15, planned on kidnapping and killing one police officer and two girls in order to teach them lessons. They were arrested before actually committing those crimes.

 

 

Scream
The Scream movie was a real hit back in 1996 reinventing the whole genre of slasher movies. It was so successful that some killers were inspired by the plot. The 16-year-old Mario Padilla and his younger cousin killed Mario’s mother by stabbing her 45 times. They confessed to planning going on a killer spree afterwards.


Nightmare on Elm Street
Nightmare on Elm Street features the infamous Freddy Krueger who murdered his victims in their dreams. This character inspired Daniel Gonzalez to go on a murdering spree in an attempt to become a famous serial killer. What’s even weirder, there’s an actual Nightmare Death Syndrome which is still not explained by scientists – people just die in their sleep for no apparent reason.
