Horror for Christians

...four more days to Halloween, Halloween, Halloween...


I had written a review for you, by my computer ate it, so for now, here is something else to look at until tomorrow.

An interesting place to go, while we are feeling all supernatural and creepy, is The Flicks that Church Forgot. This link will take you to a series of excellent, open minded podcasts on horror movies from a Christian perspective. The guy doing them is a massive fan of scary movies and it is refreshing to see someone approaching these films from a theological perspective that embraces the subject matter. The podcasts on the history of Halloween itself, and his rebuttals to common Christian complaints about the holiday, are well worth checking out.

I suggest you take this further, start a cult, print some t shirts, or move to a mountain... oo, oo I haven't read it yet but is above blokey suggesting Halloween is good fun! I love Halloween, anyhow off to get some horror inspiration... P.S Have you seen the swedish film 'Let the right one in' fab vampire film.

  2. He is very much in favour of horror films and Halloween, and makes a good case for accepting it.

    I have seen Let the Right One in, yes. Very, very good.
