Recently I read a book by Stephen King called DANSE MACABRE. This book de- scribes and sums up many horror fiction movies and books. Near the end of the book, in the final chapter, there are paragraphs, true para- graphs of happenings that occurred, or that people died after seeing, or reading hor- ror fiction. Here is an ex- ample of one of the stories that is rather disturbing: "It's 1960, and a lonely Ohio youth has left the movie theatre where he has just seen Psycho for the fifth time. This young man goes home and stabs his grand- mother to death. The patho- logist would later count over forty separate stab wounds. "Why? the police asked. "Voices, the young man replies. "Voices told me to do it." After reading this I sat there disbelievingly. I am a horror fiction fan myself, and supposedly this movie had inched this person off the edge and into his malevolent act. I am sure that horror fiction does affect people to some degree, such as leaving the light on when you are alone after dealing with a scary movie but as to doing what the youth in Ohio did,' I have to argue that in the first place he could not have been too mentally stable. Another example of a paragraph in the last chapter of DANSE, MACABRE is: "January 1980. The woman and her mother are having a worried conference over the woman's three- month -old .,Baby. The baby won't stop crying. It always cries. They agree on the source of the problem: the baby has been possessed by a demon, like that little girl in The Exorcist. "They pour gasoline on the baby as it lies crying in its MRS. WILLIAM SOTHERN crib and then light the child on fire to drive the demon out. The baby lingers in a burn ward for three days. Then it dies." This in my opinion is the act of two very sick women. You can not tell me that these ladies were perfectly normal until they saw The Exorcist. When a horror fiction story is made, it is just what it says it is. Horror which means if you are squeamish, don't watch or read it! Fic- tion, the most important part means to be make-believe or imaginary, not actual. I could not have read the books that I have read if they hadn't been fiction. Just sit back and enjoy the author's imagination and writing skills. So, in conclusion, 1, believe that horror fiction should be enjoyed. People who say that it alters your mind in my opinion have not researched enough. No-one forces you to read -watch it. —Liane Creighton' 1 1 error Athletes compete at OFSSA regional meet The OFSSA regional track and field meet was held in Chatham May 25 and 26. Competing from Madill were Craig Oatman, Sandy McDonald and Doug Wood who were polevaulting. Carol Blackwell and Chris Gibson threw the javelin. This is the greatest number of Madill athletes to compete at the OFSSA regional level. The Midget boys' high jump was awesome to watch. There were 12 com- petitors and when the bar reached 1.86 m there were still five jumpers left in the competition. Steve McKague cleared that height on his second jump for a personal best and breaking the school record he set last month at the Oakridge meet. How- ever, two other jumpers cleared 1.89 and Steve placed third. Well done Steve! Madill had two competi- tors in the Midget pole vault, Craig Oatman and Sandy McDonald. Sandy McDonald was suffering from a pulled leg muscle yet still managed to place fourth with a short run and a straight pole. A great effort Sandy. Craig Oatman blew away the oppo- sition to come first with a leap of 3.44 m. He failed to break the meet record of 3.51. Congratulations Craig. In the Senior boys' pole vault Doug Wood gave les- sons on pole vaulting to the. other competitors. He cap- tured first place easily and went on to set yet another record 4.35 m. Way to go Doug! Last Wednesday Doug, Craig, Sandy and Steve re- presented the school at the OFSSA track meet. Only five people have done this be- fore: Peter Snow in long jump, Tom Ellacott in pole vault, Mary deBruyn in shot put, Janet Wood in 3,000, Tom Remington in high jump and Doug Wood in pole vault. We are really excited at having four in one year! Best of luck boys! GOOD THE CASE FOR BUSINESS SENSE Visit us in Wingham every Tuesday.
