The Last House on the Left was preceded by a large marketing campaign that told viewers, “This is just a movie.” But how will you feel if such films are based on very real events? Below is a selection of creepy real-life events that later became the basis for some truly scary films.
Wolf Pit
Wolf Pit is an Australian horror film about three tourists who cross paths with serial killer Mick Taylor. It was a terrible monster that roamed the Australian outback in search of new victims to kill and skin them. This is all pretty scary, isn’t it? However, the “Wolf Pit” has a very real basis: it was filmed based on serial murders committed by a maniac named Ivan Milat. Like his co-star in the film, Milat hunted tourists in the Australian outback. He grew up there, was a hunter and used his skills to do terrible things.

Child Game
In this horror movie, a voodoo serial killer named Charles Li Rae is killed in a toy store. His soul moves to the nearest doll, and the doll then falls into the hands of 6-year-old boy Andy. The doll is called Chucky, and she begins to kill, and the soul of the killer, imprisoned in it, tries to take possession of Andy’s body. It sounds crazy, but Chucky had a prototype – a real doll named Robert. In 1903, 3-year-old Robert Eugene Otto received a doll from a servant in the Bahamas. Otto named the doll after himself and they have been inseparable ever since.
Shortly thereafter, Otto’s parents began to hear two voices coming from the boy’s bedroom. One vote belonged to Otto, the other not. Every time the parents entered the room, everything was fine. Otto grew up, got married, but never got rid of his doll. She sat in his room at a house in the West Keys, Florida. Children passing by the house swore that the doll sometimes looks at them from windows, and from different ones. In the mid-1970s, Otto and his wife died, and new tenants moved into the house where Robert remained. They claim to hear giggles from time to time, and the doll’s face has changed a lot.
