Most horror movies take place in a heightened version of our world, one where masked murderers stalk babysitters, vengeful ghosts invade people’s dreams, and every small, middle-of-nowhere town is secretly the home of a murderous clan. Horror fans have grown used to taking even the most absurd premises at face value, and there have been plenty of terrifying films where characters experience improbable or impossible circumstances. However, there have also been some horror movies that manage to blur the line between fiction and reality.
