Do you expect everything single thing you ve watched to be on this list? Its not possible right? The admins are humans too they must v have forgotten or maybe they ve never seen the footages movies before. And I noticed one thing that this list includes only the really hit/famoud ones… Though i m not saying that found footages is lame or not good enough. Gomen if I was rude. And I was wondering whether u ve watched vampire hunter d or u just named your account just like that

Wait. I thought Child’s Play was based after Robert the Doll.
Anyone else know about what I’m talking about?
What movie is that picture from? It looks creepy…
bratzgirl2233-
the Sweeney Todd movie that “recently” came out was based on numerous pieces of work, including real historical events. There is also a book (if my memory serves me correctly), a play/musical, and a few movies made in the 70’s through the 90’s, I think.I cannot recall the exact date(s). and yes, I believe he did know of the story behind the movie before he agreed to work on it.
Sweeny Todd was based on real? I bet even Jonny Depp didn’t know that -.-
interesting…
Psycho, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Silence Of The Lambs are based on the same serial killer
