Both of my children were raised on horror, as was I...They understand that the movies are not real...They have seen how the special effects are done...If anything they are becoming "bored" not "psychotic"...At the age of 5, my daughter was watching a horror movie (wish I could remember which one) when she remarked, "Couldn't they have just used pig's guts?...It would have been better than that"...When my son was 6 he made a similar remark about blood that was too bright red and "looked like catsup"...My children are becoming CRITICS not PSYCHOS...

As for other "horror related media"...My son will not play an RPG in which he cannot wreak major havoc, death and destruction...The more blood and flying body parts, the better...I was the same way, and I still am...I have killed no one and I doubt very seriously that they will either

The books that I read to my children at bedtime, when they were small (and my son still), have always consisted mostly of Stephen King, but also...Peter Straub...Clive Barker...Ramsey Campbell...Dean Koontz...John Saul...etcetera

If my children do happen to set out on a murderous rampage...I will be the one to blame for not being there for them, teaching and raising them correctly...NOT HORROR...I am more than sick of people blaming their ineptitude on ANYTHING other than themselves...It's called "personal responsibility" people...learn it...live it...accept it.......AND STOP BITCHING
