Ivy Templeton IS the reincarnation of Audrey Rose
I was first introduced to Audrey Rose at Secondary School as part of my English class. It freaked me out then and as a consequence it is one of my favourite books and films of all time.
Audrey Rose is a fictional character but she (and the book) is based on real events.
About Audrey Rose, the book
A little girl lost between death and life
My own copy of Audrey Rose (book) is battered and damaged beyond repair due to constant reading (it's one of a select few of books that I constantly re-read over and over again) and I don't think I will ever manage to replace it. However, I do own, now, a copy of the film; the same film that I watched all those years ago at school...
So, to find more about Audrey Rose and why she made such an impact on me, please do stay awhile on this lens!
Audrey Rose:
Bill and Janice Templeton have money, security and ten-year-old Ivy - the prettiest, happiest daughter in all New York.
Elliot Hoover claims Ivy is really his daughter killed 10 years ago in a burning car.
Then the nightmares start...
Is Ivy Templeton possessed by the anguished soul of Audrey Rose?
Audrey Rose is a 1977 horror film, allegedly based on real life events, directed by Robert Wise, starring Marsha Mason and Anthony Hopkins. It was based on the novel of the same title by Frank De Felitta. The book had a sequel, For Love of Audrey Rose, which was not filmed.
'Oh, God. What does he want?' - Janice to Bill Templeton about Elliot Hoover.

One memory I had after watching this film at school was me saying to my 'so-called' friends that I thought that it was scary. In response, one of my friends said that I would probably find Mickey Mouse scary, too. Nice friend, huh?
The first 10 minutes of Audrey Rose
'A pain and torment as real as the actual physical torment that took Audrey's body out of this life. Ivy is experiencing the same anguish that Audrey experienced in that terrible fire, and Audrey will continue to abuse Ivy's body until her soul is set free.'
Audrey Rose 1 of 12
All Bill and Janet Thompson (Beck, Mason) wish for is a quiet life with their daughter, Ivy. But their dreams turn to nightmares when a stranger (Anthony Hopkins) stalks her every move. And things get worse when their dreams turn to nightmares beyond anything they can imagine: a force from beyond the grave that threatens to destroy everything they've ever loved.

- Audrey Rose is fake, it's based on writer's experience with his own son. His son displayed behaviour which he explained as a reincarnation (the boy played ragtime music on piano as a professional).

- Wait, is Audrey Rose real or fake? At first I thought you were profiling a real person... but now I think she's a fictional character. This is a ghost story of some sort?
