no the devils rejects was not based on a true story. if anything it was inspired by the hack and slash movies of the 1970's. its prolly the best horror movie i have seen in awhile because of that.

Yes. Not all of it is true (factual, historical), not all of it is false (fictional, mythical).\n\nCan you handle the truth? or the falsity?

In the original Hellraiser movies, as far as I know, he's only listed as "Lead Cenobite", but as the story evolves over several movies, we are given some more details of his name and pre-Cenobite life. Apparently, he went by the name of Captain Elliot Spenser, an explorer and British Army veteran from World War 1 - check out the link below for more details, courtesy of Wikipedia.\n\nAs a journalist, it would be interesting to meet Doug Bradley, but as you mention the fee being in dollars, and I'm based in London, it looks unlikely that I'd be able to come shake the man' hand for showing the world a fantastic, multi-layered very human monster.

Alas, what answers!\nThe devil is real --- his name Heylel --- known as Satan to nearly everyone.  He is not a myth... he physically exists.  He don't want to be openly seen by people... that's why you people think he is a myth.  He is a deceiver... very subtle.\n\nI know him... I know what he really looks like... I know what he acts like... I even know many of his facial expressions.  I hate that... but its true.\n\nI am not afraid of him either.  Before I was a Christian, he maliciously tried to harm me, and I tried to choke him.  Is that fear?  no... that’s anger.\n\nHeylel is not a myth... not something of the mind... he is physically real.  \n\nHere is a website that explains his form... what he looks like... what he does... what he acts like... and how to overcome him... so on.  http://heylel.info

The movie was based on a book but there is no indication that was a true story.\n\nHere are some sites about the movie:\nhttp://www.lagaan.com/\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagaan\nhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0169102/\n\nHere are some sites about Cricket:\nhttp://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/hosking/cricket/explanation.htm\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/sportacademy/hi/sa/cricket/rules/default.stm\nhttp://www.allworldknowledge.com/cricket/

Often times you will see a movie that says at the begining based on actual events.... Not this is a true story.... this gives them so much squirm room it't not funny.  Fargo for example was completely made up.....

"Man on Fire" wasn't based on a true story. It's the remake of a 1987 film.  The film was originally based on a series of books by author A. J. Quinnell.

It does not condemn man to failure. It raises God to final victory over satan. In actuality it is God's way of allowing man to finally attempt to rule himself without interventon from God. By the time of the anti-christ all God's believers will be gone from the earth. This is based on the premise that the anti christ will totally reject God and proclaim himself as God. If you notice, the devil attempts to mimic God in everyway and what better way that to install his own guy who will fool the world. The anti-christ, who will at first come in peace has evil intentions from his beginning and his greed will ultimately overcome him to the point of his own distruction. His final mistake is when he moves into the temple of Jerusalem and proclaims himself God over Israel. Of course Israel will not stand for this and then in simple words "all hell breaks loose" for a final 3 1/2 years until God/Jesus Christ invervenes and stops the mess to finally save His people and fulfill his original promise to the Jews. I know all this may sound freaky to you but I have studied the Biblical prophecies and I always follow the happenings that God predicts will occur. Any layman can study and see that todays world happenings are in line with the Bible. Of course don't take my word. Go see for yourself and let your own conscious be your guide.

The Devil's Tramping Ground\nIn a wooded area in western Chatham County, ten miles east of Siler City, is a well-worn path that forms a ring forty feet in diameter.  The path itself is a foot wide.  The center of the circle and the ground outside the path are lush with grass and other plant life, but nothing grows in the foot-wide track.  At sunset, when rocks or similar heavy objects are placed in the pathway, they are found the next morning to have been brushed aside.  In fall and winter, when rabbit hunters roam the surrounding countryside, their dogs perform joyously until the chase nears the barren circle.  Then the dogs tuck their tail between their legs and slink away.  They will not go near the spot.\n\nSoon after the first settlers came to Chatham County, they discovered the strange site, which soon became known as the Devil's Tramping Ground.  This was before 1800.\n\nThough no one ever saw him stalking there, it was believed to be the haunt of the Foul Fiend, who came at night to tramp around and around and around in a circle, his head lowered, his expression intense.  It was during these hours that Satan planned his evil schemes to undo mankind.  At the first light of morning he was gone, winging his way like a bat across the world to carry out his nefarious purposes.  Yet so scorching had been his footprints on the ground of his circular pathway that the soil became infertile, and the nocturnal retreat of the hellish Prince of Darkness was shunned and avoided.

No.  The whole thing was faked to make it seem like it was, but everything was actually staged....not a true story.

In a word, no.\n\nLet's put it this way. That movie is "based" on reality. All the effects, however, are completely done by the movie producer.

The myth of hell as it stands today is mostly based on the work Dante's Inferno. As for if it really a myth or not, that's up to your own belief system. There is no proof that any religion or religious text is right or wrong. At one point, the Roman Gods and Goddesses were considered the only dieties around, same as the Egyptians before them. Each religion has had it's own version of "Hell", and the concept continues to evolve with society. \nIf you are interested in reading more about Dante's Inferno, follow the link listed below.

Never seen a live one.\n\nI've seen a few "exorcism" specials on cable TV, especially when they go into the southern deliverance ceremonies and people are rolling on the floor and making odd noises. The pastors in their interviews actually come across as sincere, not charlatans (although I know there's a bunch of crooks out there), so I'm not sure what to make of it.\n\nAs far as movie exorcisms: The movie "The Exorcist" was based on the real case of a young man in the late '40's. "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" was based on the case of Annalise Michel back in the '70's. You can't take either as "accurate" due to the nature of drama (they spice things up, change what they want to make things interesting), but the basics are there.\n\nI know at least one person who participated in an exorcism or at least the "casting out of a demon." He didn't want to talk much about it and seemed very unsettled by the experience. I think when you see the real thing, there's something about it that bars sensationalism.

I've never heard the Judas story.  But Dracula was a real person.  His name was Vlad Dracul, a count and later prince in Romania.  His army was fighting off the Ottomans (Turks) trying to invade Eastern Europe.  Whenever an Ottoman warrior was caught, he would have them impaled on a stake and would watch them die painful, long deaths...sometimes while eating his dinner.  Eventually, Dracul was captured and beheaded...his head sent back to Turkey to show the Sultan that he was dead.\n\nElizabeth of Bathory is another true story...a mass murderer who killed something like 600 virgins to bathe in their blood and stay young.  She was eventually caught and locked up in her castle forever.\n\nBetween the two, as well as other stories, Bram Stoker developed his monster who he named Dracula.

Assuming that we are talking about the same thing:\nLucifer was one of God's angels, but at one point it led a revolt against God because it wanted more power. It, along with the rest of the revolting angels were cast into Hell and Lucifer was given the power to reign there as Satan.\nI am not positive where exactly this is backed up in te Bible,  beleive the story has somewhat been peiced together. This is only my recollection of what I have heard, so take it with a grain of salt.
