NBC Horror Anthology

[Terjyn]

Each of the show's standalone stories will be inspired by true events.

What a lame copout.

Inspired by true events (as opposed to Based on true events) is a totally meaningless phrase, since inspiration can have nothing whatsoever to do with the story you tell.

IE: I see a Dog which inspires me to write a comic book series about Elvis. I really did see the dog, so it's inspired by true events!
