Hollyweird just got weirder. B-Movie Horror Director Eli Roth is blaming Bush for an increase in the number of horror films.

Roth claimed that people wanted to scream because of the "things going on in the world" and the government's failure to help after Hurricane Katrina. He explained that horror movies offered a safe environment which allowed people to scream. Roth went on to say the seemingly "never ending war", fighting people that do not care about our money, our "disorganized army" with "scared kids" for soldiers and the generals calling for Rumsfeld's resignation were specific reasons for the need of an emotional release offered by horror movies.

Roth also blamed the Vietnam War for the popularity of movies such as "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". He then claimed that because "things were calm" during the Clinton Administration there were fewer horror movies.

NewsBusters goes on to report that while the spatter of guts and blood in movies has gone up, there is no statistical link between Presidents and the number of horror films.

But if Lurch had been elected, there's no telling what would have happened.
