Kristen McKay and James Hoyt are not real. On November 11, 2005, they were at the Hoyt family vacation house and were the victims, physically and mentally, to 3 assailants. The synopsis here extends only as far as the movie "The Strangers."

According to the production notes, the director Bryan Bertino's main inspirations for the film were the book Helter Skelterand the Keddie cabin murders of 1981. Another inspiration was from his own childhood, where someone came to his house and asked if someone was home several times in one night.

As for the events being real and having been completely erased from the internet, the family would have an almost impossible time doing so.

It is based on "true events" - but not the ones you'd think. It's based on the director's memory of a knock at the door and someone asking for someone who wasn't there. The rest of the film is artistic license, and the director is said to have been impressed with the amount of Internet folklore building up about the "truth" of the murders.

Kirsten McKay and James Hoyt are fictional characters from a film by Brian Bertino. The movie is called "The Strangers". The main inspiration for the movie was the Manson Family murders covered in the book Helter Skelter. According to the director of the 2008 movie The Strangers, this book was the main influence for the story line of the movie, contrary to any other stories that have been posted around the internet since the film's release.

Did the McKay Hoyt Murders really happen?

yes, they did. It seems that James Hoyt and Kristen McKay existed but their records have been deleted away from the internet. The Hoyt family did not want publicity into the murders so they paid for a service called a "scrub". The scrub scubbed away and cleaned up the internet references to James Hoyt and the Hoyt murders. Kristen McKay's name and references were also removed. The Hoyt family was approached for their rights to the story but they refused to sell out and went the other way.
