It's advertised on your local station every five minute, saw 1,2,3, or some evil kid with the psychic power. Do you think this is good for your kids? society? or just good taste?

Horror movies have always been popular with the public. Georges Méliès in 1896 filmed Le Manoir du diable (aka "The Devil's Castle") which is sometimes credited as being the first horror film. Another of his horror projects was the 1898 La Caverne maudite (aka "The Cave of the Demons").
The early 20th century brought more milestones for the horror genre including the first monster to appear in a full-length horror film, Quasimodo, the hunchback of Notre-Dame who had appeared in Victor Hugo's book, "Notre-Dame de Paris" (published in 1831). Films featuring Quasimodo included Alice Guy's Esmeralda (1906), The Hunchback (1909), The Love of a Hunchback (1910) and Notre-Dame de Paris (1911).
Many of the earliest feature length 'horror films' were created by German film makers in 1910s and 1920s, many of which were a significant influence on later Hollywood films. Paul Wegener's The Golem (1915) was seminal; in 1920 Robert Wiene's The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari was both controversial with American audiences, due to postwar sentiments, and influential in its Expressionistic style; the most enduring horror film of that era was probably the first vampire-themed feature, F. W. Murnau's Nosferatu (1922), an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Early Hollywood dramas dabbled in horror themes, including versions of The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923) and The Monster (1925) (both starring Lon Chaney, Sr., the first American horror movie star). His most famous role, however, was in The Phantom of the Opera (1925), perhaps the true predecessor of Universal's famous horror series.

Movie ticket sales have been generally down over the past few years. Maybe because of the proliferation of and ease to get DVD's. They make movies for what gains the most income. Kids are flocking to see horror movies... so thats what they make. Personally, I don't care at all for Horror movies, of any sort. So, they want my ticket money... make something entertaining. Else I stay home. Good taste is a matter of opinion. And as you know... everyone has those.

I even have considered 28 days later and it became a disapointment. and a stable horror movie could be something like cabin fever. its a pair of team of 20 12 months olds that bypass out to a cabin interior the woods and the get a bad ailment from eating the water and ill bypass away it at that. so it is as much as u if u decide to work out it.

~I would much prefer kids watching Stephen King movies and understanding they are fiction than reading the bible and thinking it's truth.
As to your concerns for society and your unstated desire for censorship, I commend to your attention Socrates and George Orwell.

No but no one thinks about that as long as there is money to be made.
