Back to EpisodesHell in Horror Movies: Slasher Movies and the Path to Hell
Description
We have our first guest, horror lover and expert Josh Brandon and we ask the question: Why in the world don't evangelicals LOVE horror films? Maybe they should.
After Josh gives us a brief intro into Hell in Horror films, we get into how some horror films have carried on Puritan morality traditions, how they treat women, and whether we're going to Hell for secretly (or not so secretly) being pleased when some characters die. We also discuss the future of horror. Where do you think horror movies and tropes are headed? Let us know.
