I can tell you marketing does work unfortunately. Many blockbuster movies stem from bullshit conspiracy stories real people concoct. "The Amityville Horror" was a bullshit "haunted house" movie based upon the real mass murder of a family. People have claimed since then that the house is haunted. Truth really is that those whom have lived there that liked the attention of the idea of a haunted house sold it. But no, people don't haunt you after they die.

"The Exorcist" also a 1970s movie was based upon a priest exorcising a demon out f a women's daughter. The mundane reality , the real truth was it was a parents mistaking mental illness and going to a priest instead of a psychiatrist.
The steps in that famous movie still exist in Georgetown which is district of Washington DC. The real house they used in the movie was in Maryland . Claims or demon possession were rampant even long before so it wasn't one particular claim, but a history of specifically Catholics making these claims over decades, the original influence for this movie, started with the con priest taking advantage of a mentally ill boy's parents.

I am not to fond of super natural horror flicks. No, not the ones with monsters like vampires or giant animals, but the ones that people are more likely to buy because of religion, like spirits and demons and poltergeists. I hate those movies because I see lots of people going in thinking those while fictional, are reflections of reality.
Little green men movies bother me too.
