10 Horror Movies Based On Disturbing Real Life Events

9. The Hills Have Eyes

the-hills-have-eyes This cannibalistic classic is based on the disturbing story of Alexander 'Sawney' Bean, a man-eater and clan leader who lived in Scotland during the 16th Century. Sawney's clan was an inbred one that comprised of himself, his wife, eight sons, six daughters and plenitudes of grandsons and granddaughters. As the tale goes, Sawney and his clan tortured, killed and cannibalised over one-thousand people in the years that they were active. They lived in caves and only ventured out after night in order to find 'their next meal.' However, one night, the clan ambushed a couple in which the man put up a fight till a group of villagers appeared to the site of the battle. The Beans fled the scene. Eventually, King James VI was alerted and he launched a manhunt which culminated with the capture and execution of this egregious cannibal clan.

I'm Saahil from India and no, I don't own an elephant. I write. I think P. G. Wodehouse might just be the greatest author of all times. Manhattan was definitely Woody Allen's masterpiece (yes, over Annie Hall). The Shawshank Redemption is overrated. I love debating. I've always dreamed of shooting zombies with a sawed-off during an apocalypse. I own a dog. The Sixth Sense was a fluke. Sheldon Cooper is probably the worst TV character right now. I play table tennis. I am socially awkward. I don't know how to end this. My editor's probably going to cream me for this. But, whatever.
