The new horror movie, Dear David, is based on a real-life Twitter thread from 2017.
The Big Picture From classic books to video games to, of course, real life, there is no limit to how far horror movies can go for inspiration. After all, spooky tales can often stem from the most unlikely of places. However, one of this year's most anticipated horror flicks looks at a particularly unusual source material in order to create its own freaky universe.
'Dear David' Is Based on a 2017 Internet Horror Story The story first came into being in 2017. Do you know Adam Ellis, who is the main character of McPhail's movie? Well, turns out that he is a real person who actually wrote for Buzzfeed. He was mostly famous for his webcomics, which were either loved or hated by those who got their daily dose of entertainment and information from Buzzfeed — which, in 2017, meant virtually everyone.
The Original "Dear David" Story Made Impressive Numbers Online With lots of manufactured evidence, "Dear David" quickly gained traction on Twitter, with social media users divided as to whether the story was a work of fiction or the real deal. Comments from the time vary from people praising Ellis' storytelling abilities to others stating that he needs to put some salt around his door to keep the ghost outside. Oh, and then probably move.
