Each chapter explore the true stories behind the horror movies that brought them to life. The author takes each story and breaks it down, sharing the plot and then the correlating true story that inspired the movie. It probably obvious that there are spoilers if you haven't seen some of the movies in the book, but I've seen most of them, so it wasn't as big deal for me, but be forewarned. If you are a fan of horror, true crime and the paranormal then this is a book you will definitely not want to miss out on.
There are 17 chapters starting all the way back in 1931 with M: A City Searches for a Murderer. Subsequent chapters include movies: Rope, Psycho, Frenzy, The Exorcist, Jaws, The Town That Dreaded Sundown, The Amityville Horror, Poltergeist, A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Serpent and the Rainbow, The Silence of the Lambs, Scream, The Mothman Prophecies, Wolf Creek, The Conjuring and Annabelle, The Witch and The Lighthouse. Most of these movies I've seen and even more, I knew most of the true crime stories that were involved but there were more than a few that I knew little about and even the ones that I knew about I still learned more. This is a great book for anyone who loves both genres.
