The Strangers action figures

June 12, 2008

Saw an interesting interview with Bryan Bertino, the director of The Strangers.  The interviewer brought up the possibility of “Strangers action figures.”  The whole idea is disturbing.  I know we have kids dressing like Jason, Freddy, Michael Myers, the Scream guy, etc.  But those are all outlandish, nonrealistic characters in some way.  Those Strangers folks are just plain psychopaths.  If you’ve seen the movie, you tell me: can you imagine glorifying or celebrating those characters?
