10. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of the best horror films of all time. It tells the story of a family of cannibals who welcome a group of friends to their home. The plot is entirely fiction, yet the killer, the chainsaw-wielding Leatherface, is loosely based on the murderer Ed Gein.
Despite giving him a chainsaw to wield, the similarity between the two is limited to the human skin mask the character wears. Ed Gein had nine in his possession when he was arrested. Horror flicks, whether loosely based on true events or entirely based on real-life story, always make for the most authentic viewing experience.
