SUMMARY:Based On A True Story with Troy Taylor
DESCRIPTION:Based On A True Story with Troy Taylor Thursday\, October 9 at 6 PM 2001 Delmar Ave From The Exorcist to Poltergeist\, The Changeling\, Texas Chain Saw Massacre\, The Conjuring\, and many others\, you’ll be entertained — and possibly a little frightened — by this interactive night! Join author Troy Taylor for a chilling look at the true stories behind some of the scariest and most unsettling films about ghosts\, murder\, mayhem\, and the supernatural that have ever been shown on the silver screen. You can’t watch any of these horror films and dismiss them as a work of fiction — because each one is “Based on a True Story!” Hold your breath as Troy presents the real stories that inspired these films\, which you’ll soon find are much stranger than anything a movie studio can create! Questions? Call 618-452-6238 ext 730 \n
