OK, as much as I like this movie, I have to be honest here, the part were Lisa threatens the parents of one character into letting him come out by pointing a gun straight at them does kind of unsettle me a little. It kind of makes me wonder just what the film's makers are advocating here.
You do realize that this is a movie. Right? More specifically, it is a fictional movie. As in: Not real. Made up. The product of someone's imagination.
In other words: Lighten up, develop a sense of humor, and stop taking every little thing so dang seriously!

Not every scene in every movie is advocating something. Does John Carpenter advocate knifing babysitters, or George Romero advocate eating brains? It's just a movie.

Nah, the 80s had these idiots too. Just look at the witch trials about rock bands killing our kids. They just didn't have the internet to broadcast it to everyone yet.
I don't think they were advocating anything. I would agree with you about it being unsettling, except that the entire movie is a farce. It's kind of hard to take any part of it seriously when you have someone turned into a nasty monster and the grandparents get frozen. Also, Attis point in the movie, wasn't the pistol actually a squirt gun? It only becomes a real pistol in a later scene. For all those reasons, I don't think it's unsettling.
It's the 80's. You got away with stuff like that. Just look at 16 candles. Every time the Asian exchange student was in a scene you got a loud gong noise in the background.
Another great movie moment lost on yet another of the current generation of teenage PC dullards. You guys have lost the ability to think for yourselves. You should be ashamed to even be alive. Thank *beep* I grew up in the 80's.

Yes, and because Bill Paxton's character was turned into a pile of feces. The filmmakers have a scatological fetish. Chill out, your reading into this film too close than it should be
I shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine and he shall be my Squishy.
