These are even more TRUE stories behind iconic and classic horror movies. How many of these did you know the real-life origin of?

In this follow-up to the Horror You Didn't Know Were Movies Based on True Stories series (henceforth referred to as HMYDKWBOTS), I'm looking at four (technically five) more horror movies. These ones are each set beside the sea or at least at some kind of vacation getaway.

Which is more haunting, the intense depictions on screen, or the brutality of the real stories behind each?
