~The Darkness gets Darker

I use to be someone who loved to watch horror movies all day long…literally…at one point I only watched horror movies and nothing else, not even regular television programming unless they were about ghosts or paranormal activity…I have been able to be freed from that dark addiction through Christ.

This year has introduced such graphic and demonic films and television shows than any other year that I can remember! Television shows have made it normal to talk about ghosts and look up to psychics. It has even come to a point that celebrities on these shows downplay the severity of “playing” around with Quija boards, listening to ghost stories and trying to communicate with spirits through various other means. Vampire popularity has hit an all time high, psychics have become everyone’s best friend, yoga spiritualists have become increasingly more popular and so on.

The cinema has been inundated with films revolving immortality and attaining or maintaining youth. Usually there’s always a theme that the media follows for each season and for it being just days away from Halloween of course they’re going to capitalize on the fear, partying, gluttony and unsolicited sex that usually occurs during this time amongst teens and young adults. After years of watching horror movies it had really desensitized me…I attribute my ability to watch graphic surgeries, graphic images of all sorts, and so on to my past years of watching disturbing films and becoming so use to it that it wasn’t a big deal for me to see a dead body or see a murder attack their victim. Of course film is dramatized, but what most parents don’t know is that just because the acts committed in the film isn’t real, the content of the film can easily be recreated and does happen…It always begins with seeing it, then hearing, thinking about it, recreating the scenes in their mind, changing those scenes around, making themselves apart of the situation and then get the uncontrollable urge to act on it…

To be continued……………………………
