It appears that using fear to entertain children has become mainstream in our society. But while such methods may turn huge profits for Hollywood and the countless beneficiaries of cross-promotion (fast-food gimmicks, toys, clothing lines, etc.), we parents must ask ourselves if we are responsibly raising the next generation by following this disturbing trend. In my documentary video, "Death by Entertainment: How the Media Manipulates the Masses," syndicated film critic Holly McClure (and author of the book by the same title) cites a study by the universities of Michigan and Wisconsin, finding that one in four students had some lingering side effects from a movie or television show they saw as a young child or teen-ager (particularly movies). More specifically, 90 percent said they were scared by a movie they saw in their childhood or adolescence, and 26 percent still experience residual anxiety.
