Movies with a new meanings

Many horror movies challenge the beliefs of any sane person and try to dig away at our fears of the unknown. Movies about ghost and demons, unexplainable happenings, and murder. Though they all have one thing in common, our irrational fear of what goes bump in the night. It’s us and our own fear that will or won’t allow them to scare us.

Many movies over the years have been rumored to be based on real life events, here are a few that are worth mentioning. Some are very well known movies and some not so much. You seem too fine a theme running through some of the real life events based movies, like a lot of serial killers, but a lot of movies are about demons and possessions that are loosely based around one or more reposts of real life exorcisms or so called possessions.
