She managed to crawl to the street and get help. Fortunately, she survived. Most urban legends and false news stories are disseminated through the internet now, and the Slender Man was one of the first major urban legends created as an internet meme. This tragedy is something of a horrific role- reversal. Monsters, serial killers and maniacs in film and literature are often inspired by the real thing. A horrific incident based on fiction is another matter entirely. For no matter what sick, depraved act one can imagine, it doesn’t hold a candle to reality.

Urban legends are our modern folklore, incidents with grains of half- truths or pure fictions that are often employed to warn our youths of danger. If they were all true, then every Lover’s Lane would be filled with escaped lunatics, everyone searching for a lost dog would be confronted by Chris Hansen, and no one would ever set foot in the dark waters of a nearby lake. It’s only natural that such legends have made their way into film; the legends usually come complete with their own story arc. The stories are rarely translated directly to screen, though.

Rather, filmmakers use our collective knowledge of long rumoured horrors as building blocks for original tales. Here are just 1. 5 Movies Based On Urban Legends. The Mothman Prophecies – The Mothman of Point Pleasant.

The Mothman is one of stranger urban legends in recent years. There so many mythological creatures comprised of a mishmash of body parts from other animals, but usually these legends herald from older civilizations with long histories of superstition. The Mothman is one of the few cryptozoological legends of this sort borne of modern Western civilization – West Virginia, to be exact. The giant man/insect was first reported being seen in the Point Pleasant area in 1. John Keel’s book The Mothman Prophecies was released in 1.

From the first minutes of Murder House through the latest episode of Freak Show, American Horror Story is responsible for countless nightmares thanks to its weekly.

Campfire Tales is best remembered for providing early roles for Amy Smart, Ron Livingston, and James Marsden. Beyond that footnote, it’s a fairly forgettable DTV anthology film involving one of the oldest twists in the book.

After a group of teens are in a car accident, they wait for help in the nearby woods, each reciting their own scary story. You can imagine how the frame story ends, but each short film is based on a familiar urban legend – either in part of in full.

The opening scene is a straight retelling of the classic hook- handed killer at lover’s lane. The second, featuring Livingston, is a mostly original tale of a couple trapped in an RV by unexplained creatures that ends with a character’s hand dragging across the top of the vehicle, his ring scratching the roof and terrifying his lover.

Another story adapts the “People Can Lick Too” legend but updates it to include an online chatroom predator. This was 1. 99. 7, mind you, and internet technophobia was all the rage in Hollywood.

Despite having three separate directors like most anthology films, there’s little to stylistically distinguish each story from another. The Bye Bye Man – “The Bridge to Body Island”The Bye Bye Man was released earlier this year in the dumping ground month of January, then rightfully ignored almost immediately. The original legend was published by paranormal researcher (and Coast to Coast regular) Robert Damon Schneck in his work The President’s Vampire: Strange- but- True Tales of The United States of America. The story, entitled “The Bridge to Body Island” is an account from a friend of Schneck’s regarding three college students who learn of the titular demon, whose name cannot be spoken, thought of, or read, lest the creature come after his victim.

The film follows the basic details of the story closely, and if the demon’s mythology sounds far fetched, confused and improbable even for a supernatural tale, then you’ve only begun to understand just how inept it is. Apart from a nonsensical lead villain, on a technical level it’s subpar, failing to construct even the most basic jump scare. When a Stranger Calls (1. Watch The Student Body Online Forbes.

Black Christmas (1. The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs”Though Black Christmas was the first major film to play with the “Babysitter and the Man Upstairs” legend, the most straight filmic retelling belongs to the Carol Kane- starring When A Stranger Calls. The film’s first act is a straight retelling, concluding bleakly as the legend does with the traditional, “We’ve traced the call, they’re coming from inside the house” and the murder of the sleeping children. Watch The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance Vioz. The film then unfortunately jumps ahead seven years, follwing cop Charles Durning as he chases the escaped killer. The film’s remake merely expands the opening scene to nearly 9.

Christmas merely uses the legend a plot device, leading to one of the most inventive and intense phone- tracing scenes in film history. The trace is analogue, forcing a phone technician to run through bookcase- sized computers, frantically searching for the corresponding signal. While numerous slasher flicks have toyed with the legend since, these first instances still stand as the most memorable. An American Christmas Carol Full Movie In English.

Candyman – Bloody Mary. The classic Bloody Mary legend is as follows: teens, usually during a party, dare one another to go into the bathroom and invoke the ghost’s name three times with the lights off. What happens next is up for debate. The apparition may only scream at them or curse them. In other instances, the specter will claw their eyes out or strangle them.

Though there are actual films based on the Bloody Mary legend, Candyman adapted it to explore the racial issues facing Chicago. Before becoming the specter who stalks the projects of Cabrini- Green, Candyman (Tony Todd) was a slave who had a relationship with his master’s daughter and killed for it. When a young graduate student (Virginia Madsen) exposes a real- life serial killer exploiting the legend, the real thing comes after her, trying to regain his mythic status. Candyman’s interracial relationship during the early days of America, as well as the real- life violence on the streets of the south side of Chicago, serves as a nightmarish backdrop and creates an M. O. for the killer that is two- fold: he’s exposing what was once taboo, while also proving it still is. Urban Legends – Several Legends.

In the preface to Jan Harold Brunvand’s excellent Encylopedia of Urban Legends, he writes of a particularly tone deaf scene in the 1. The class] is of interest to folklorists since it shows us Hollywood’s idea of what a college class in the subject might be like. Unfortunately, it’s a poor example, since Professor Wexler’s approach is merely to tell a lot of scary stories, show some slides, and encourage students to try ‘urban legend experiments,’ like drinking a can of soda after eating Pop Rocks candies to test whether the combination will explode in the stomach.”And that’s just the beginning of how silly Urban Legends is. It’s a movie that exists in Hollywood University – the kind in which Robert Englund’s Wexler assigns no actual homework, tests or term papers; where the school’s newspaper has an ace reporter always snooping around and committing countless felonies (not to mention the journalistic ethics violations it raises). But if it’s urban legends dramatized you’re looking for, you’ve come to the right movie. Any major urban legend, including numerous ones already listed here, are up for grabs.

It’s just a shame a coherent, fun slasher flick didn’t come out of it.

I first heard of this big place with a pretty sounding name because of a call I received from a member of the Willowbrook staff, a Dr. Michael Wilkins.
