Horror Films Inspired by Real Life Events

Halloween is here, and with it, a plethora of scary movies - from the goofy to the downright terrifying - I always look forward to this season of terror! Now, I'll admit, I do get a LITTLE squeamish at some, but I just cover up my eyes. The fact that these movies, compiled by our friends at Huffington Post, are based on real life events, is disturbing, to say the least.I mean, who knew there was a REAL Leatherface??
