Religion may not be everyone’s bag, but there’s no denying the horror genre’s fascination with its themes and imagery. Scared Sacred brings together film critics, writers, and historians to examine the affect religion has on popular culture by dissecting particular horror movies and their connection to world religions, idolatry and worship. Back the project and get your hands on a limited edition first pressing of the book, which boasts a foreword from Hellraiser’s Doug Bradley.
