A friend and I were discussing this once. I don't like horror films because of the gore. He told me that when he first started watching them, the gore creeped him out and made him uncomfortable. After years of watching them though, it doesn't faze him at all. To me, that's the very definition of media changing someone. Of course that doesn't mean he's going to become an axe murderer, but it had a noticable impact on his thought patterns. Take someone that is unstable to start with, and maybe... ?
