Regarding your specific article, it seems it may be a local media headline. If you could say what area you saw the headline, which town, or which paper, it would assist in finding that article.
I haven't had any luck finding anything in the national media available online regarding this subject. I found a few parenting blogs that talked about how horror movies caused depression.
I can see how expecting life to work out like movies might set people up for disappointment and that could lead to depression, but I think at some point in a person's development, they naturally learn to discern reality from fantasy and can learn to not set up the unrealistic expectations.
As far as the horror films, I think the parents may have it the other way around. Instead of the movies causing the depression, the pre-existing depression sets up an attraction to the horror films.
Good Luck finding your article. If you post Additional Information, I may be able to check further.
