I think Will Ferrell is doing much better than most Saturday Night Live members as a solo actor because he relates a lot of issues in a very satirical way. Most of his movies are straight out die from laughter funny. He makes people laugh over issues that we might not see by watching the movie, but can understand by analyzing it.
Just like in Scream, most people including myself enjoyed the trilogy, but would have never guessed the critique behind it all. Like stated in the article, most horror films are based on a murder that is somehow related to a dramatic issue with his or her mother. Either a death, or just a bad relationship with their mother, but something along that line. I feel as though that is true for most horror films. For example, in Chainsaw Massacre, the main reason for his killings and making new faces for himself, is because of a birth defect that he had been born with because of his mother. Most stories relate back to a maternal figure.
In addition, I read in the article, that you can tell peoples feelings and ideas based on the horror films of the decades of which they were released. I find this very interesting and true. Horror films in the past were more of horror and not gruesome murders and violent deaths; today, that is all you see. I think that the genre of horror films relates more to the thought and views that people as a whole have on the world at the time, than any other movie, but these views are not straight shown and hidden within the plot of the horror films themselves.
