Why is it, in all of the scary movies, that the murderer, who's overweight and carries around power tools, knives, helmuts, etc., is able to outrun 16 year old, really fit teenagers and kill them all? It's like I was saying with Frankenstein and that crew. They all walked about 2 steps an hour, so how did they manage to kill so many?

It's a (not so subtle, really) form of behavior modification, Krafty, directed especially at young women, teaching them that victimization is inevitable and inescapable...

And, since it's been established that media violence contributes to agressive attitudes, it may influence how women are treated. It might lead to domestic violence and rape for example.

For the most part, they aren't intended to present a scenario that is dictated by logic, just to scare you! It builds the suspense with chase being drawn-out. Then eventually the target victim will seek refuge somewhere that places them in a inescapable position and then comes the dramatic crescendo, the killing! In the original movie, Frankenstein would have been depicted with a more rapid pace, but, the producer's failed to secure a deal with Nike, so that is what you get!
Now Pat, darling, King Kong treated Fay real nice!
