10 Movies That Influenced Audiences In Awful Ways

As with most people on this list, 17-year-old Jake Evans wasn't driven to kill by a movie; he'd already been thinking about that for a long time and was a killer waiting to happen. However, it was a scene in Rob Zombie's Halloween remake that convinced him to go ahead with the murder of his mother and sister.

"While watching it I was amazed at how at ease the boy was during the murders and how little remorse he had." Jake wrote in his later confession. "I was thinking to myself it would be the same for me when I kill someone. After I watched the movie I put it back in the case and threw it in the trashcan so that people wouldn't think that it influenced me in any way."

He spent the early hours of October 3 2012 watching the film for the third time that week, playing golf, and considering how he would kill his mother, sister and grandparents.

"My plan was to kill my sister and my mom at my house and then go over to my grandparents and kill my oldest sister, Emily, and my two grandparents. Then I was going to wait until morning and kill my other sister, Audrey, because she was visiting from college."

After shooting his mother and sister dead, Jake found he had no taste for killing and called 911 to turn himself in. Seemingly calm through the call, he was led to give information by an incredibly composed and professional operator, before giving himself up to the police without a struggle.
