Can movies still create moral panic?

I was researching films that cause moral panic, and found that there was a debate that horror films do not cause moral panic, but video games do. As they make video games now days more realistic and violent it arises awareness to viewers on how society is. However as I am making a movie trailer and want to create moral panic, I found an interesting article and video stating that horror films that are based on true stories still do create moral panic. In my trailer I will be stating it will be based on a true story, because this gives a better audience reaction. My horror trailer should make my audience jump and keep them engaged at all times, so I will try to add in moral panic of how society can be.



















Horror movies such as Child's Play, Severance, the Evil Dead, and video games such as Grand Theft Auto, and even old action movies like Die Hard and the Towering Inferno can be identified as potential triggers for properly anti-social behavior and worse.
