Removing all examples that are not about \\\"inspired by\\\" as a stock phrase (see [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1340558346024300100 the TRS]]). Storing them here for the benefit of future generations.
[[AC:Film]]
* \\\'\\\'Film/{{District 9}}\\\'\\\' was inspired by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_Six,_Cape_Town the real life forced removal of over 60,000 blacks from District 6 in Cape Town.]]
* \\\'\\\'Headless Body in Topless Bar\\\'\\\' took this to its logical conclusion: the title was BasedOnATrueStory (a headline in \\\'\\\'The New York Post\\\'\\\'), and the rest of the plot was extrapolated from it.
* Leatherface in \\\'\\\'TheTexasChainSawMassacre1974,\\\'\\\' Norman Bates in \\\'\\\'Film/{{Psycho}},\\\'\\\' and Buffalo Bill in \\\'\\\'TheSilenceOfTheLambs\\\'\\\' were all loosely inspired by real life serial killer Ed Gein. Comparing and contrasting those three characters should give you an idea of exactly \\\'\\\'how\\\'\\\' loosely. (For the record, Buffalo Bill is probably closest to the real guy. Frighteningly, Leatherface is arguably closer than Bates.)
* \\\'\\\'{{Unstoppable}}\\\'\\\' was inspired by the \\\"Crazy Eights\\\" train incident in Ohio in 2001.
[[AC:Theater]]
* The basic premise of \\\'\\\'MButterfly\\\'\\\' was RippedFromTheHeadlines, but the playwright intentionally did little research on it, because he wanted a completely fictional play. By way of honesty, he also [[{{Dragnet}} changed the names to protect the innocent]].
[[AC:Video Games]]
* \\\'\\\'VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo\\\'\\\' is inspired by a [[http://shimmie.katawa-shoujo.com/post/view/1 single sketch]]. Originally it wasn\\\'t even coloured.
