Murder Simulators: Difference between revisions

* Mentioned a few times in the ''[[Scream (film)|Scream]]'' series. Considering that the director, [[Wes Craven]], is a man who made his name with [[A Nightmare on Elm Street|violent]] [[The Last House on the Left|horror]] [[The Hills Have Eyes|movies]], it's hard not to see this as [[Take That|his response]] to [[You Can Panic Now|fear-mongering]] [[Moral Guardians]].

** In the first film, there's this exchange:

'''Ghostface:''' Now Sid, don't you blame the movies! Movies don't create psychos! Movies make psychos more creative! }}

** In the second, a discussion in a film class early on has several characters debating whether or not violent slasher flicks turn people violent. In addition, the killer {{spoiler|(at least, one of them)}} plans on blaming his killing spree on said slasher movies (such as the newly-released ''Stab''), invoking this trope in order to create a sensational trial and get the [[Moral Guardians]] on his side.
