Recently saw an old video of Adam Lanza (school shooter) playing dance dance revolution really well. I had seen it forever ago but recently stumbled on it again. Without context it’s just some skinny kid crushing it at DDR. But, with hindsight its one of the most uncomfortable videos to watch I can think of. So, media of any kind that isn’t inherently a problem but with additional context becomes freaky.


The Wizard of Oz, because of what the actors, especially Judy Garland, went through.
The Shining, because of how Kubrick treated Shelley Duvall.
Powder and Jeepers Creepers, because of how Victor Salva emphatically put his own predilections into his work.
