Would showing murderers Disney flicks turn them into nice normal members of society?

I HATE when people blame horror movies and metal/rock music on real life violence. Don't blame a movie or song for somebody's own stupidity. If they're going to kill they're going to kill. Doesn't matter whether they listen to pop music or metal or watch horror movies or comedies. If you teach your children that it's only a fictional movie then they should understand that, and if they don't-well then they have a big problem. I watched a few horror movies as a child, Child's Play scared the crap out of me. :p But it didn't make me violent. When I got to be a teenager I started loving horror movies. And I'm STILL not violent...

Yes I watched horror films a plenty in my younger days.Then went on a killing spree a few years later and the body count is still piling up to this day.

Didn't those young kids in Liverpool kill that toddler after seeing CHucky III?

But as mentioned earlier read some stuff by John Martin or Guy Cumberbatch - but then again its easier to make a post on a web forum that u will in no other way contribute too.

They might have just been pissed off at all the plot holes. And people have been scapegoating horror forever. A guy said London After Midnight disturbed him enough to commit murder. But then again, that might have also been because of plot holes.

never let facts get in the way of a good rumour.
