Most original horror movies are very different from each other. But almost every horror movie fits under the category fiction. However, some horror movies try to take "the more real, the scarier" road. The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre features antagonists like Leatherface that could exist in real life. In fact, Leatherface was inspired by Ed Gein, a real serial killer. Other horror movies, like Hellraiser, feel that the farther from reality the story is, the more the horror can be escalated. Between movies based on true stories and movies with fictional stories, which do you think is more effective in a horror movie?
