Did you know the movie The Hills Have Eyes were inspired by the story of Sawney Bean? The head of a 45-member clan in Scotland, Sawney Bean allegedly killed and cannibalized over 1,000 victims in the early 16th century. But did he even exist? Believed to have lived in a cave with about 50 immediate family members, all born of incest, the Beans were known for robbing, kidnapping, and eventually murdering strangers whom they later dismembered and ate. Over the course of 25 bloodlusty years, the Beans are said to have cannibalized 1,000 people.
