WHY BLONDE CHILDREN ARE HORROR MOVIE STAPLES

Have you ever noticed the unbalanced number of horror movie blonde children? Have you ever taken a step back and wondered how so many of these kids in horror movies swam in the same gene pool? There is a reason for so many horror movie children having blonde hair.

Many ancient cultures considered blonde-haired children to be a sign of purity. Some of these societies would go to great lengths to protect those with children with blonde hair. Perhaps the best example would have been from the Aryans during Nazi Germany.

If you think about horror movie blonde children, you will realize that there are two ways in which they are used. Blonde kids in horror movies are either used as the target of the evil, or as the evil itself. The main characters either have to do everything that can be done to keep the horror movie blonde child safe, or everything to destroy it.

In the case of keeping the horror movie blonde child safe, the characters usually have to battle some kind of supernatural force that wants to taint the purity of the blonde kid. Also, the blonde child is usually female, as in Poltergeist. The stealing of the horror movie blonde child will be the key to unlocking some greater evil that the world will not be able to withstand.

On the flipside, if the horror movie blonde child is evil, the child will have the outward appearance of purity, but will be completely impure on the inside. This would be a perfect example of the old saying, "A wolf in sheep's clothing." The blonde child will do everything it can do to destroy the main characters so it (itself) can be unleashed upon the world.

Strangely enough, parapsychology has delved into the belief that blonde children might have more abilities in their frontal lobe than others. There is a school of thought that states that blonde children have a higher chance of acquiring abilities that are not studied in the realm of parapsychology. This is all conjecture, and might be for many years to come. If true, though, the horror movie blonde child might have a higher spot in the horror movie chain than before.

In Hollywood, blonde hair has been a sign of purity for many years. Chances are good that it will stay that way. Hollywood has not found it easy to break long-standing traditions. The next time that you see a horror movie blonde child, try to figure out quickly if the character is a symbol of perfect purity, or perfect evil.

Hmmm, makes you think!!
