I agree. Doing something stupid because you saw it in a movie is no excuse and you shouldn't blame the movie.
The research I was talking about didn't say that horror or violent movies turn kids into psycho killers, but that they can introduce basic insecurities that can screw with normal psychological development.
At least Jackass took the heat off of horror films. Didn't some kid get on a lit propane grill wrapped up in tinfoil because he saw it in Jackass?
