Movies That Horrifyingly Killed People In Real Life

Aliens (1986)

Aliens isn't even the scariest entry in the franchise, but it was the straw that broke the camel's back for a student in India. After staying up all night to watch a horror movie marathon that also included Blood, Ghost, and Atmakatha, M. Prabhakar excused himself to use the restroom. He emerged screaming and collapsed from shock, dying shortly after. According to the Times of India, Prabhakar's collapse wasn't initially noticed by his fellow filmgoers, and by the time they tried resuscitating him, the movie marathon was over and it was too late to save him. He was pronounced dead on arrival at a local hospital.
