Horror movies made me do it

I want opinions on what you all think that horror films have on society. I have heard commentary on TV that films like TCM and Halloween are degrading society and causing people to act violent. I have my own personal views on this issue but am just curious as to what horror fans think.

i dont belive that movies or games can make sane people do anything, but i red in the paper not long ago about 2 kids...14 and 15 i think, they wernt older then 16 thats for sure.
they played alot of grandtheft auto, il just assume most of you know what that is and ramble on... after playing one night they went out with guns (not sure how they got them) and killed a guy gta style, in his car, of course they blamed the game and pressed charges on rockstar games when they got cought... i belive that those kids were allready seriusley fucked up before playing a video game. iv been watching horror since i was 8, 12 years later and i still have my sanity...most of it... movies or games have no power to pursuade anyone with a partialy stable mind.

In reference to those people who say that movies and video games are what make people do bad things I would like to ask them what video games or horror movies the Nazis and Hitler were watching and playing to do what they did!

movies/games/tv/music , et cetera... DOES NOT MAKE YOU DO FUCKED UP SHIT!!!! I repeat DOES NOT MAKE YOU DO FUCKED UP SHIT!!! i went to high school with a bunch of guys that listened to marilyn manson .. (I do/did as well.. I had all his t-shirts/cds)well they were the type that wanted attention and would do shit on purpose to get it. Well I am loner and stayed to myself, and I dont like attention drawn to me.. Well these idiots broke into the school stole some computers and had the damn nerve to say marilyn manson made them do it, cause they listen to him... It is not tv/movies/music that does this it is the lack of parenting and mental problems that are not payed attention to.. I know this from experience cause most of my friends while in high school were messed up like this..

I don't believe film or music cause violent behavior. Hell, the media is far worse than any film.

Movies/games/music/etc. do not make people do bad stuff. People do bad shit because they choose to. Not because they watched it or played it damn it. So people should stop believing this shit. And the people who do bad stuff should stop blaming it on shit they watch or play or listen to.
