CATHOLICISM AND HORROR MOVIES?
QUESTION? / COMMENT!
Even commercials on YouTube are becoming more and more demonic and disgusting. Some horror movie commercial came up the other day talking about some curse, and I muted it. Any advice other than the Umbrellino Prayer to protect us from shows, movies, streaming, etc?

Many Catholics place a sign in front of their television that says. Psalm 101:2-3 (RSV) “…I will walk with integrity of heart within my house; [3] I will not set before my eyes anything that is base. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cleave to me.” I know Catholic homes where this verse is put on a sign underneath their television.
TV Turnoff Tips
(from the TV Turnoff Network)
Keep the TV off during meals.
Exercise as a family by taking walks, riding bikes, or learning a sport.
Move your television to a less prominent location.
Designate certain days of the week as TV-free days.
Do not use television as a reward.
Remove the TV set from your child's bedroom.
Hide the remote.
Don't worry if children say they are bored. Boredom passes and often leads to creativity.
Do this prayer at least once a week: CONSECRATION OF ONE’S EXTERIOR GOODS TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY (page 152, 153 'Lord Prepare my Hands for Battle' 2.0 & 'Deliverance Prayers for use by the Laity' p.44-45).
