Just read through this and found it to be very interesting. Shows very well that there, in many cases, is much more to horror movies than just pure brutality. Alot of those origin stories are related to social injustice and discrimination. Never would have guessed Hannibals background story to be like that, either. Same goes for most of the others.
Ahaha awesome article, I love stuff like this.
I don't watch very many horror movies, but this was really a great read.
Norman Bates is the best horror movie villain ever btw.
Even if you don't like horror movies you have to watch Psycho, its one of the greatest films of all time.
