Disturbing Science Fiction Movies Based on True Stories

Dive deep into the boundary between science fiction and chilling real-life events. We'll explore sci-fi horror films like The Blob and Altered States that have surprising roots in actual scientific experiments and eyewitness accounts. Just how close to the truth do these movies get?

The Blob's gelatinous alien mass absorbing small town residents echoes reports from Pennsylvania officers who encountered a similar jelly-like substance after an object fell from the sky. But did it actually disappear when touched, or is there more to the story?

Altered States depicts sensory deprivation tank experiments with psychedelics pioneered by real-life scientist Dr. John C. Lilly. He pushed the limits of consciousness and perception through prolonged isolation and mind-altering substances. But how far will we ourselves go down the rabbit hole of Dr. Lilly's fringe science and altered state theories?

We'll also uncover little-known government programs involving trained dolphins that seem suspiciously similar to the communications research of Dr. Lilly. Fact or fiction? You decide after we closely examine these sci-fi frights with roots in our world.

But are you ready to handle the truth? Because after watching, you may never look at "based on a true story" the same way again. The reality lurking behind these sci-fi facades is far more terrifying than any movie monster. Join us if you dare!
