Patty Leon: Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction

I love horror movies and TV programs. I grew up watching ‘Creature Feature’ every weekend when Frankenstein, the Mummy and the Werewolf were the stars of the show. Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney and Lon Chaney Jr., Vincent Price — all these actors brought these monsters to life, and they ruled the silver screen in this genre.Most of the time, horror movies and stories are based on fiction or stories that have yet to be proven as fact. We know Dracula was based on Bram Stoker’s novel; Frankenstein was based on Mary Shelley’s novel.
