A good friend sent a short-story that she wrote to me last night to get my opinion. The story was very, very good, but it got me to thinking about the horror genre in general and Hollywood horror movies specifically.
I mean, just how plausable are these scenarios. For instance, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre." This is a story about some psycho running around the woods of Texas hacking people up with a chainsaw. Now I must point out that this was the TEXAS Chainsaw Massacre, not the California Chainsaw Massacre or the Connecticutt Chainsaw Massacre... it was the TEXAS Chainsaw Massacre.
This is a state where there are more guns than people and children are taught no later than age eight how to shoot... and kill.
So here's a more likely scenario for the TEXAS Chainsaw Massacre:
(1)Psycho in mask steps out, revving chainsaw
(2)Wiley Texan pulls out his .45
(3)BAM!!! BAM!!! BAM!!!
(4)End of movie
The moral of this story: Never bring a chainsaw to a gunfight....
