“Now Sid, don’t you blame the movies! Movies don't create psychos, movies make psychos more creative”, scowls Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich) to Sidney Prescott (the GLORIOUS secondary scream queen, behind Jamie Lee Curtis, Neve Campbell) in the classic 1996 horror film, Scream. Now this has been a controversy for years; media, films, video games and more making people act out… and be a little, psycho. As I said in my previous blogs, that our life is our own movie, that we don’t have to dream about being in a cinematic adventure because we are already in one, our own directed film. These theorists are just saying that these “insane” creatures chose their genre to be horror. People break, like in Scream, Billy and Stew (spoil alert, sorry, you must watch it), they follow a motive, and with some peer pressure they just… snap. Freaky isn't it, that your boyfriend, your mother or your best friend could all of sudden, one day, just blow your head off. Happy Halloween.
The boogey man may be shown as “real” through the 1978 horror flick, Halloween, but there is no lying saying that we all have our own boogey man in our life some where. Whether it is the creepy old man down the street that lives by him self and talks to no-one, your old high school math teacher, or an ex- boyfriend or girlfriend… someone that just freaks you out, scares you in a way, physically or mentally, where you lose thought of yourself and real life in a sense. Being scared changes the way you act and feel, that is why some people (average 68%) enjoy celebrating Halloween, to be frightened and feel like a different person. A person that is the scarer or the scared, feeling a sensation that we usually don't feel on a normal day to day basis. Honestly it is a thrill to me! One of my favourite “holidays”.
The reality is; every person dressed up or even the boogey man himself is a real person underneath that hockey mask or a gruesome cut up face. All born, raised and living in this world, so the real controversy shouldn't be if movies make someone crazy, but if psychos are born psychos. Weird concept to think about, but as Billy says sometimes there is no motive… did anyone really figure out why Hannibal Lecter like to eat people? Don’t think so. Yes, a movie, maybe fiction, but we run into stories of killers all the time, all over the world. No matter how much I praise that this world is beautiful, there is always cracks of black somewhere to make us feel this world is shattered. It is up to you to concentrate and push the good in this world, to then help the “bad” people see the good lighting of life, and for them to change their ways... may not work but we have to try.
A poor way to show that meaning, I know, but hey it's Halloween, I have to put a little weird into your head, get you kind of scared, let you feel the thrill. Enjoy your Halloween folks, scare, be scared and fear a little of this world while you enjoy it.
Love;
Rachel
