Old 20/20 Report Warns Against the Dangers of Horror Films!!
I’m re-posting this article that I stumbled on that was originally posted by Bloody-Disgusting.com. This is an old 20/20 report that warns parents about the dangers of horror and slasher films. You’d think “big hair”, Izod shirts with the collars up, Vanilla Ice, and saying “Radical,” would be the most harmful things in the 1980′s to kids. But nope; it was the orgy of blood spewing from horror films lurking in neighborhood video shops!!
I’ve never liked to watched these so-called “news shows” on the networks, and now seeing this old 20/20 reaffirms exactly what’s so empty and exploitive about these retarded shows. Gotta give credit where credit is due, though, because Hugh Downs and Barbara Walters actually manage to keep straight faces as they try to sell this shoddy segment as actual news. Listen closely to their arguments. I haven’t heard such shitty arguments back by spurious logic since I was a second year philosophy major!! Check it out:
Still with me? I wanna e pissed off, but I can’t help but just laugh at how absolutely stupid they all sound. And I love the conservative coven of high-collared mothers in pearls. That’s the exact demographic slasher films are marketed towards!!
Thanks for digging this one up, Bloody-Disgusting!!
Stay Bloody!!!
Are you sure this isn’t a skit? It’s almost too corny to be real! plus they kept showing clips of Evil Dead II, which by anyone’s standards is just hilarious! XD
No Deedee … my parents remember when this 20/20 aired … it’s actually the episode that made my folks stop watching that shitty show!!
That’s gotta be one of the most amusing things I’ve watched in quite some time…
Isn’t that great!! I love how it’s presented liked its a “national crisis”!! God the 80s were lame!! Lol
