The Purge movie franchise served as the inspiration for some real-life horror on Halloween night in France.
The Purge franchise has been very successful, spawning four movies, including this year’s The First Purge, as well as a TV series that has been airing on USA Network.
The teen in question, a 19-year-old from Grenoble who hasn’t been identified publicly, sent the Snapchat video on October 29 that called for an event similar to those depicted in The Purge movies.
The Purge movies make a great deal of political commentary about the class divide between the rich and the poor.
