I've also found that you can argue with people about this till you're blue in the face & they won't change their minds if they think some movie is based on a true story. But you're right, again, these days it's so easy to look things up with a click of the mouse--so you'd wonder why people are still so credulous. I particularly hate how supernatural movie/book hoaxes like AMITYVILLE HORROR obscure *real* crimes in which innocent people were murdered.<br /><br />And oh yeah, I dig DERANGED too!Will Erricksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285306262078600804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4631859338699697150.post-36690871227985255682010-04-22T14:12:37.351-07:002010-04-22T14:12:37.351-07:00Deranged was actually a really good film too, but ...Deranged was actually a really good film too, but you are right, often overlooked.

It's amusing to me that one of the films that came the closest to capturing the truth about the Ed Gein murders (Deranged, 1974) is actually one of the lesser known ones. I guess it was overshadowed by these other classics.<br /><br />--J/MetroAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
