Going to see a horror movie can be frightening, but once the credits roll and it’s time to exit the theater, viewers can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that nothing they saw was real. It was all just a work of fiction that couldn’t possibly be true, right?  Well as it turns out, many of the horror movies that still give you nightmares may actually have been based on real life events. The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005) The film is loosely based on a real court case, held after a German woman named Anneliese Michel died after exorcism rites. Of course, in the movie, the young woman who died—now called Emily Rose—was really possessed, and the implication in saying the movie is “based on a true story” is that the possession could have been real.
