The scariness comes from the shit that could happen in real life.
An old boyfriend and I used to couple up and go to the drive in quite a bit, usually to watch a gory movie. Fast forward a few years and those movies became a reality when my sister was murdered and chopped into pieces in California's worst mass murder. Two guys living in the remote Sierra Nevada mountains lured people up there, tortured and killed them in a 8x10 concrete torture chamber on the property. I can watch scary monster stuff but I can't watch movies where humans get hacked up anymore.
That is messed up!!
Sorry to hear about your sister and this happening to anyone. The world is a pretty twisted place and is getting more so.
Yeah, he lured her up there telling her he had a beautiful ranch with horses. That was the last words I heard from her. She called and said she was going to a ranch a guy owned, it was beautiful and had horses. I was half asleep at the time, didn't pay much attention because she seemed so happy about it. Months went by, she didn't call on birthdays, holidays, and finally I told my mom that if we don't hear from her by spring maybe we should go out there looking for her. We put out a missing persons report, and before we could decide to go for sure or not, we got a call from the police saying that they had found her name written on his mailbox. We got three tiny burnt bone fragments back that through DNA testing they were 97% sure they were hers. They chopped her up and burnt her in a barrel on the property.
I was just reading about the case on wiki. Obviously not all of these things make it into the global headlines, especially from so long ago. Seriously though, this world is tiring me out at how fucked we are as a species.
