Horror Films Based on True Stories

Horror films based on true stories have captivated audiences for decades. These movies take inspiration from real-life events, adding an extra layer of terror and suspense to the viewing experience. Whether it’s a haunting, a serial killer, or supernatural occurrences, these films tap into our primal fears and leave us with a lingering sense of unease. For horror enthusiasts, these movies offer a unique blend of entertainment and intrigue. They provide a chilling reminder that sometimes truth can be stranger – and scarier – than fiction. By drawing from real events, filmmakers are able to create narratives that feel grounded in reality, making the scares all the more effective. Halloween is often associated with horror films, as people seek out thrilling experiences during this time of year. From classic titles like “The Exorcist” and “Psycho” to more recent releases like “The Conjuring” series and “Hereditary,” horror films based on true stories continue to be popular among audiences. Here are some horror movies we found that are based on real life stories: The Exorcist (1973) The Exorcist movie is based on a book, which is based on the real-life of a boy who was possessed by demons in 1949. The movie stars Linda Blair, Ellen Burstyn, and Jason Miller, the movie made $112.3 million worldwide. The real exorcism was so frightening that there have been books written on some of the people who witnessed it. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) This film is based on America’s famous serial killer Ed Gein, who had nine human skin masks in his possession at the time of his arrest. Directed by Tobe Hooper, this movie, starring Marilyn Burns, Gunnar Hansen, and Edwin Neal, grossed more than $30 million in the United States and Canada. A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010) The makers of this movie were inspired by a group of healthy Laotian refugees who had died during a nightmare. This supernatural horror film, starring Jackie Earle Haley, Kyle Gallner, and Katie Cassidy, won the People’s Choice Award for Favorite Horror Movie. Psycho (1960) This Alfred Hitchcock thriller-horror movie is inspired by Ed Gein’s crimes and Wisconsin murders, and won the Oscars in 1961 for Best Directing. Psycho stars Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, and Vera Miles. The Conjuring (2013) Directed by James Wan, this movie is based on Ed and Lorraine Warren, who are real-life paranormal investigators. They claim that this possession case was exceptionally hard to deal with. The movie stars Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, and Sterling Jerins, and made $319.5 million at box office. Annabelle (2014) This movie is about the scariest possessed doll there has ever been, and it is true that people who taunted the doll in the museum faced fatal accidents or near-death experiences.

Poltergeist (1982) Directed by Tobe Hooper, this movie is based on the paranormal disturbances Lucille Herrmann and her family suffered when they moved into their home, which they presumed were local teenagers playing pranks on them. The movie stars Heather O’Rourke, JoBeth Williams, and Craig T Nelson and grossed $121.7 million at box office. In terms of video production , creating horror films based on true stories requires careful research and attention to detail. Filmmakers must strike a balance between staying faithful to the source material while also incorporating cinematic elements that heighten the fear factor. Expert use of lighting, sound design, special effects, and cinematography all contribute to creating an immersive experience for viewers.

Perkin Warbeck in Fantasy & Fiction: History behind the most notorious pretender to the English Throne

One major omission of Martin's novels was a character that was based on the pretender Perkin Warbeck whom many believed to be one of the lost princes in the Tower. We saw his story play out in the second of second TV show adaptation of Philippa Gregory's cousins war series "The White Princess" with the miniseries going the same direction as the books that Perkin was indeed whom he said he was: Richard of Shrewsbury, Duke of York.

While most historians agree that he likely wasn't, book readers of A Song of Ice and Fire are less certain about his fantasy counterpart. Dubbed "Young Griff", the youth who suddenly comes out of nowhere claiming to be one of the two slain offspring of Rhaegar Targaryen and Elia Martell, Aegon Targaryen. Tyrion is introduced to him through Varys who assures him that Aegon will make a great ruler because he's been taught that kingship is something to be earned, not something one is entitled to simply by virtue of his or her bloodline.

Some book readers are sure he's the real deal while others -like myself- say that he is a fake but has come to believe the story he's been fed by his handlers (which include Varys) since birth.

The show could have had a GREAT opportunity to use this subplot from the books which would have not only made book readers happy, it would have also delighted many history buffs.

George R. R. Martin has made it no secret that "A Song of Ice and Fire" hugely borrows from history, namely the late medieval and renaissance period. But that is something we will never see since D&D chose to scrap much of these intricate subplots a long time ago, leaving us with a last season that feels more rushed than a miniseries.

For fans of the latest entry based on PG's novels, The Spanish Princess, believe it or not, Perkin is as important to Tudor history as he's to Spanish history. One of the conditions that Ferdinand II of Aragon, COA's father, placed on Henry VII before he and Isabella I of Castile, fully agreed to the betrothal of their offspring was to ensure that the throne would be secured for future generations -meaning that if COA was going to be Arthur's Queen in the future, she should not have to face any threats from any potential claimants whose alleged identity or bloodline would cause trouble for his English grandchildren. Seeing no other way around this, Henry VII signed the execution warrants of Edward, Earl of Warwick (Margaret Pole's brother and EOY's cousin) and Perkin Warbeck. Two years after their executions, Catherine was sent to England to marry Arthur. The rest as they say, is history.

As far as the portrayal of Perkin Warbeck goes in other popular media, he's given a fair assesment in the 1972 BBC miniseries "Shadow of the Tower" where he's clearly shown to be a pretender who was a victim of his handlers' schemes and like his fantasy counterpart, fell for his own con in the end which led to his demise. In other miniseries and TV films however, his true identity is left ambiguous while in one he's shown as a fake in the end but executed because he found the truth about the princes in the tower.

In the mid 1600s, after undergoing more religous and social changes, views on the first Tudor monarch and his mother also shifted. Margaret went from being a female role model to the wicked witch of the East, a domineering, overly ambitious, Catholic nutjob whose power over her son turned Henry VII into a weak mama's boy who had to resort to cruelty to prove his manliness. As a result, Margaret Beaufort was blamed for the princes' deaths, with her missing the mark on the younger one which gave more credence to Perkin's claim that he was the Duke of York and thus, the true heir to the throne. Several historical novels, like PG's cousins' war series, follow this line of thought, which has turned Perkin into a romantic and tragic figure.

Cast Cassidy Janson – Carole King Matthew Seadon-Young – Gerry Goffin Georgie Ashford – Cynthia Weil Ian McIntosh – Barry Mann Barbara Drennan – Genie Klein Joseph Prouse – Donnie Kirshner

Venue: Aldwych Theatre, London

Date: Saturday 5th August 2017

One fine day . . . When I head Beautiful was going to be closing in the West End it made me feel incredibly sad in all honesty. I first saw the show in October 2016 and then on my following two trips to London could not resist seeing it again and again. I then made a decision that I just had to go for closing night, making it the fourth time of seeing this wonderful show that has certainly changed my outlook on different aspects of life. Yes, that may seem like a very bold statement but it got me into Tapestry by Carole King which I now must have listened to hundreds of times and that is an album that really is incredible.

This was therefore the fourth time that I had the pleasure of seeing the show, you can find my other reviews here Review 1, Review 3, I for some reason did not review it the second time I saw it. I have grown to love it each more after every viewing, then constantly listening to the soundtrack.

When heading into the Theatre it was a mix of sadness and excitement for seeing it again. Knowing it would be the final show in the West End. I just had to see Cassidy Janson as Carole King again and she has quickly become one of my favourite performers.  She is just amazing in the role and I have to say she was extra amazing on closing night, not holding back the tears at times it really was an honour to see such an incredible performance. Natural Woman really was on another level, I find it to be not only a very emotional song to begin with but a very emotional and heartbreaking moment in the show. She didn’t want to sing it, those were Gerry’s word everything else was her own when putting Tapestry together. Honestly the emotion put into her performance on Saturday night really was something else, the rest of the cast as well everyone nailed it and went for it even more, outstanding!

The audience was brilliant in all honesty and really did show the cast just how much we love them all. Each song applauded and each moment having different reactions, even some clapping and cheering for certain lines which was just brilliant. I have something else that I just need to mention meeting Cassidy Janson’s Mam who was sat two seats along from me, she was just lovely. A total bonus to add to an already special night!

The story of the show is Carole King’s story, how she quickly started out as a songwriter and composer. Meeting and falling in love with Gerry Goffin, getting married having children whilst still managing to write the songs with him. But then how she managed to break free and do it all on her own and the writing of the incredible Tapestry. It also shows the friendship and competitive nature with friends Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, which really has some lovely moments.

I am sure you will be left surprised at how many songs Carole King was involved in as the show also takes you on a journey through many of the most popular songs from the 60s and 70s. With more amazing performers taking on different roles to sing and perform those songs. It is all done on a very big scale with plenty of lights and costume changes thought out the show, which also helps to show the changing times.

It does make me very sad that the next time I visit London that Beautiful will be no longer on in the West End. I already have tickets for the first UK Tour when it comes to Newcastle in November, I will probably get tickets for Sunderland in March as well. So I guess that is good news for people who cannot make it to London for the Theatre you can catch the tour on the road from September 2017 until June 2018. I really do recommend this show it has a very special place in my heart.

Today we remember the passing of Allen Toussaint who Died: November 10, 2015 in Madrid, Spain

Allen Toussaint was an American musician, songwriter, arranger and record producer, who was an influential figure in New Orleans rhythm and blues from the 1950s to the end of the century, described as "one of popular music's great backroom figures".

The youngest of three children, Toussaint was born in 1938 in New Orleans and grew up in a shotgun house in the Gert Town neighborhood, where his mother, Naomi Neville (whose name he later adopted pseudonymously for some of his works), welcomed and fed all manner of musicians as they practiced and recorded with her son. His father, Clarence, worked on the railway and played trumpet. Allen Toussaint learned piano as a child and took informal music lessons from an elderly neighbor, Ernest Pinn. In his teens he played in a band, the Flamingos, with the guitarist Snooks Eaglin, before dropping out of school. A significant early influence on Toussaint was the syncopated "second-line" piano style of Professor Longhair.

After a lucky break at age 17, in which he stood in for Huey "Piano" Smith at a performance with Earl King's band in Prichard, Alabama, Toussaint was introduced to a group of local musicians led by Dave Bartholomew, who performed regularly at the Dew Drop Inn, a nightclub on Lasalle Street in Uptown New Orleans. His first recording was in 1957 as a stand-in for Fats Domino on Domino's record "I Want You to Know", on which Toussaint played piano and Domino overdubbed his vocals. His first success as a producer came in 1957 with Lee Allen's "Walking with Mr. Lee". He began performing regularly in Bartholomew's band, and he recorded with Fats Domino, Smiley Lewis, Lee Allen and other leading New Orleans performers.

After being spotted as a sideman by the A&R man Danny Kessler, he initially recorded for RCA Records as Al Tousan. In early 1958 he recorded an album of instrumentals, The Wild Sound of New Orleans, with a band including Alvin "Red" Tyler (baritone sax), either Nat Perrilliat or Lee Allen (tenor sax), either Justin Adams or Roy Montrell (guitar), Frank Fields (bass), and Charles "Hungry" Williams (drums). The recordings included Toussaint and Tyler's composition "Java", which first charted for Floyd Cramer in 1962 and became a number 4 pop hit for Al Hirt (also on RCA) in 1964. Toussaint recorded and co-wrote songs with Allen Orange in the early 1960s.

Toussaint was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame in 2009, the Songwriter's Hall of Fame and the Blues Hall of Fame in 2011. In 2013 he was awarded the National Medal of Arts by President Barack Obama. In 2016, he posthumously won the Pinetop Perkins Piano Player title at the Blues Music Awards.

Toussaint died in the early hours of November 10, 2015, in Madrid, Spain, while on tour. Following a concert at the Teatro Lara on Calle Corredera Baja de San Pablo, he had a heart attack at his hotel and was pronounced dead on his arrival at hospital. He was 77. He had been due to perform a sold-out concert at the EFG London Jazz Festival at The Barbican on November 15 with his band and Theo Croker. He was also scheduled to play with Paul Simon at a benefit concert in New Orleans on 8 December. His final recording, American Tunes, titled after the Paul Simon song, which he sings on the album, was released by Nonesuch Records on June 10, 2016.

Toussaint's one marriage ended in divorce. He is survived by his three children, Clarence (better known as Reginald), Naomi, and Alison, and several grandchildren. His children had managed his career in his last years.

Writing in The New York Times, Ben Sisario quoted Quint Davis, producer of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival: "In the pantheon of New Orleans music people, from Jelly Roll Morton to Mahalia Jackson to Fats—that's the place where Allen Toussaint is in". Paul Simon said, "We were friends and colleagues for almost 40 years.... We played together at the New Orleans jazz festival. We played the benefits for Katrina relief. We were about to perform together on December 8. I was just beginning to think about it; now I'll have to think about his memorial. I am so sad."

The Daily Telegraph described Toussaint as "a master of New Orleans soul and R&B, and one of America's most successful songwriters and producers", adding that "self-effacing Toussaint played a crucial role in countless classic songs popularised by other artists". He had written so many songs, over more than five decades, that he admitted to forgetting quite a few.

Turkish Missions Aid Society

In November, 18G2, Dr. Goodell received an urgent invitation from the “Turkish Missions Aid Society” in London to visit England. This society, which was organized in 1854, “ to aid the existing evangelical missions in the Turkish empire, especially American,” within those eight years had appropriated to the American missions in different, parts of Turkey about $70,000. It was an outgrowth of the warm interest felt in England in the work of the faithful men who were seeking to evangelize the races of Turkey.

It was two years before, in 1860, that the Earl of Shaftesbury, on taking the chair as president of the society, bore such honorable testimony to the worth and wisdom of these men, in saying, “ I do not believe that in the whole history of missions, I do not believe in the history of diplomacy, or in the history of any negotiations carried on between man and man, we can find any thing equal to the wisdom, the soundness, and the pure evangelical truth of the body of men who constitute this mission.” The following is the letter of invitation: —

7 ADAM STREET, LONDON, Oct. 17, 1862. The Rev. Dr. GOODELL:

MY ESTEEMED BROTHER, — I am instructed by our committee to convey to you their affectionate desire for a visit from yourself this year, as a deputation from the missions aided by their operations.

1 ventured privately, by the mediation of our beloved brother, Rev. Dr. Perkins, to sound you on the possibility of our obtaining this privilege. He was to have told you from personal experience precisely what you would have to endure in the way of work, and he encouraged me to hope he might succeed in securing your consent.

Our committee will be delighted to welcome you, and although our associations hold their meetings during the wintry months of the first quarter of the new year, the facilities of railroads and hospitable houses everywhere mitigate the inconveniences. All expenses for your coming and going by the first-class comforts by sea and land, from and to Turkey, we gladly meet, that your health may be cherished, and only as much work shall be devolved upon you as your strength will permit. Our winters in England are generally very short and mild, with little snow or frost to last a week. If you could be here in the first week of January, that would be early enough.

Hoping you will give this cordial invitation of our committee your serious consideration, and, if possible, give us all the pleasure of welcoming you to Old England,

I remain, Rev. and dear Brother,

With cordial esteem,

Very fraternally yours,

G. R. BIRCH, Secy. T. M. A. S.

Complied with the invitation

Dr. Goodell would gladly have complied with the invitation, in order to make some acknowledgment of the important assistance that the American missionaries had received from their Christian brethren of all denominations in England; but he was not equal, physically, to the service, and he sent to the secretary the following letter, giving his reasons for declining: —

7 ADAM STREET, LONDON, Oct. 17, 1862. The Rev. Dr. GOODELL:

MY ESTEEMED BROTHER, — I am instructed by our committee to convey to you their affectionate desire for a visit from yourself this year, as a deputation from the missions aided by their operations.

1 ventured privately, by the mediation of our beloved brother, Rev. Dr. Perkins, to sound you on the possibility of our obtaining this privilege. He was to have told you from personal experience precisely what you would have to endure in the way of work, and he encouraged me to hope he might succeed in securing your consent.

Our committee will be delighted to welcome you, and although our associations hold their meetings during the wintry months of the first quarter of the new year, the facilities of railroads and hospitable houses everywhere mitigate the inconveniences. All expenses for your coming and going by the first-class comforts by sea and land, from and to Turkey, we gladly meet, that your health may be cherished, and only as much work shall be devolved upon you as your strength will permit. Our winters in England are generally very short and mild, with little snow or frost to last a week. If you could be here in the first week of January, that would be early enough.

Hoping you will give this cordial invitation of our committee your serious consideration, and, if possible, give us all the pleasure of welcoming you to Old England,

I remain, Rev. and dear Brother,

With cordial esteem,

Very fraternally yours,

G. R. BIRCH, Secy. T. M. A. S.

Turkish Missions Aid Society

In November, 18G2, Dr. Goodell received an urgent invitation from the “Turkish Missions Aid Society” in London to visit England. This society, which was organized in 1854, “ to aid the existing evangelical missions in the Turkish empire, especially American,” within those eight years had appropriated to the American missions in different, parts of Turkey about $70,000. It was an outgrowth of the warm interest felt in England in the work of the faithful men who were seeking to evangelize the races of Turkey.

CONSTANTINOPLE, NOV. 19, 1862.

[thedoortoyesterday]

Over time, there have probably been more songs referring to news and newspapers than you might at first think. For instance, you doubtless remember STAYIN' ALIVE by The Bee Gees but you may not immediately recall that its lyric contained a reference to The New York Times! 

There were also songs about magazines such as THE COVER OF THE ROLLING STONE by Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show in '72 and CENTERFOLD by The J. Geils Band in '81; going even further back, The Four Lads charted with a song in ‘59 called THE GIRL ON PAGE 44 that referred to the Sears, Roebuck & Co. mail order catalog. 

However, I'm focusing in this blog on newspapers and the printed word. Rap artists such as Public Enemy (in their song  A LETTER TO THE NEW YORK POST) and hip-hop artists like T-Pain (in his composition SOUNDS BAD) have made news references, but the following is a selective list of just a few of the many rock, pop and country songs of yesteryear which fit the category. 

Certain relevant lyric lines are included in italics.
