Real horror films
When the horror isn't made up

The following is a fictional story about dark horror films, ones that may use real gore and murders shown in the footage to scare audiences. Whether films like this actually exist in the real world remains to be seen. Only that an obscure independent horror film may or may not contain real terror! So if watch something that seems to real, perhaps it really is!
You ever see a movie with special effects so effective, you'd second guess if what you just witnessed wasn't actually faked but may have genuinely happened. Sure there are old films out there that use nothing but practical effects, so everything you see is indeed created in reality, not churned out from some computer program. Of course there is nothing wrong with this, it shows dedication on the movie director's part and is a wonder to witness. This is why most classics have stood the test of time, because the effects are real. If you're watching an action movie, seeing a real explosion can be thrilling! Yet, what if you were watching a horror movie? One with gore and murder? Suddenly the idea of real special effects has a much darker and more gruesome connotation. Well, I'm sorry to ruin your day folks, but there are a few very obscure and independent horror films out there in the wild, wild world, where real murder and deaths have been filmed and distributed. Yes that's right, and not just in the darkest corners of the internet either. There was even a movie shown in cinemas back in 1966, a black and white film about a lunatic living alone in his mother's abandoned house. One day a gang of young hooligans decide to enter the house and are hunted down one by one, by the lonely killer who eliminates them swiftly, cruelly and brutally in the most shocking fashion imaginable. The film received humongous applause, despite the film's lack of colour, The Lone House (which was the movie's title) the gore featured in the film has yet to be beaten, it made movie goers anxious and terrified, feelings that would be horrible under any other circumstances, except for the experience of witnessing a horror film, these visuals were perfectly grim. Despite the movie's real kills featured, nobody suspected the film makers of actual murder. That was until fans, critics and journalists began searching for the main characters of the film (who were all killed in the story). These investigators soon discovered that all of them had gone missing! The coincidence was most definitely suspicious and many feared the kills shown in The Lone House were actually real. It was Detective Shaw who finally found the dead bodies of the actors. Some were gnawed by alligators, others had been fed to pigs. The movie director went to extraordinary lengths to hide his tracks, but human remains of bones and loose flesh were found nearby the Florida Everglades (where the movie was filmed) with pieces of clothing that matched the actors on screen. This appears to be the only instance, where a big block buster film has been confirmed to have real murder and death featured in it. The Lone House is a lost relic, a forgotten "masterpiece" according to some. Yet, knowing the true context behind this horrifying movie, this is something best left buried in the past. Locked away or destroyed forever, hidden eternally from human eyes. Still though, if you ever watch a horror movie and the gore makes you flinch, feel sick or filled with an extreme sensation of paranoia or fear, it could just be real murder that you're witnessing on the TV or cinema screen.

The idea of real gore in horror films is seriously messed up. I remember watching some old practical effects movies and being blown away. But the thought of actual murder in a film? That's a whole different level of creepy. How did people react to that 1966 movie back then?
