What if we replaced kill with the word fuck in all the movies?

Sorry dear, we’re going to kill fuck you now. /George Carlin

Splatter fests get PG-13 (think of all the fantasy violence in movies like Lord of the Rings, where blood and gore is still blood and gore, just not in purely human form), but a movie that shows intimacy between a man and a woman (or between two men or two women) can get NC-17 or X rating despite the only thing involved is a depiction of coitus.

No wonder so many people have a warped worldview, particularly about human sexuality.

As a number of people have pointed out, a LOT of slasher flicks are really morality plays.

Who dies? The promiscuous, the druggies, the ones who disobey their parents’ commands, etc. Oh, sure, sometimes an innocent goes as well. But the survivor is always morally righteous.
