It's like a release for me, and at the same time I am so very glad I have a conscience that prevents me from doing the terrible things that a slasher villain does. It's that feeling of being torn between that I can relate to very much.

No, a serial killer with a mask never butchered my friends and family but I can relate with her depression, stress, and emotion.

Their interactions remind me of how some of my friends and family members and I talk to eachother, ha. Of course, we didn't go around massacring people though.

The whole "every thing you touch Sid dies" line from S3 really spoke to me. I also love how Sidney can go through utter hell but she continues to soldiers through, trying to stay strong. This is best demonstrated in Scream 2. Her refusing to break even though she knows she's close.

Nerd Of The Group Posts: 795 Group: Members Member #61 Joined: Apr 24, 2013 Favorite Horror Films Scream, American Mary Favorite Horror Subgenre Splatter/Slasher	I think I relate to Randy from Scream, because I'm not really popular, or on a relationship, and never have been. Plus I alienate people sometimes. Also I make a mental list of horror movie rules...

Stoner Guy Posts: 1,833 Group: Members Member #96 Joined: May 4, 2013	Hmmm I think maybe vigilante characters. Not that I agree with vigilantism but I think a part of all of us wants to right social injustices and human rights atrocities. I was sent this recently and just did a 'Yeah you go!!!' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWpK0wsnitc

I feel like if I were to become a killer, I would do it like her. I would record it... If I ever become a serial killer I'd be kind of... psycho

Somehow I get the impression that my two comments are linked. Somehow I don't think I'm all there. Somehow I'm sure someone here's going to think I'm cracked.

Well...minus the supernatural powers and the swarm of rats that kill people for me aside of course. And I think I said this before, but I relate to Leaven and Worth (Cube) a lot as well for reasons that currently escape me. Edited by JethroClemson, Feb 18 2014, 08:26 AM.

I think May's easy to relate to, especially because of Angela Bettis' performance. I think everyone can see their own awkwardness in some of the things that she does during the movie. I dated my own Adam, so I can really relate to feeling like someone likes all the weird stuff about you only to have them reject you for being too weird. I always feel a twinge of empathy when they're watching the movie on the couch, and he wants her to be grossed out and think he's so edgy.

Random Redneck Posts: 124 Group: Members Member #782 Joined: Apr 12, 2014 Mood Breezy Favorite Horror Films Carrie 2013, You're Next Favorite Horror Subgenre Slasher	i relate to carrie since i'm a bit shy and hardly open up. no, i didn't destroy my town, but sometimes i wish i did. i've dealt with bullying, being called the usual, like loser, freak, etc.
