Horror Movies On A Cold Winter Night from the 80s and 90s Based On A True Story

Cold winter nights were made for cinema, the kind of films you watch with something warm and don't move until the end. Horror that understands the genre, building dread, not just delivering jump scares. Specifically from the golden era of the 80s and 90s, a period that defined modern cinema in ways still felt today. The fact that these actually happened makes them hit completely differently.
