Holy Terrors

In this installment of The Confessional, Pat talks about how his new house might be haunted and Brian introduces a new segment called "Can You Believe This Sh*t?" We also talk about some recent watches including Evil Dead Burn, Mortal Kombat II, Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror, Pacific Heights, and the Blacula franchise. We also share some thoughts on the lessons Hollywood seems to be learning from the success of Obsession and Backrooms and whether those are the right lessons or not.

In this episode we dive into the biggest horror hit of the year, Curry Barker's low-budget juggernaut Obsession. You may be asking what on earth does this have to do with faith, religion, and spirituality? Well, you might be surprised. Our One Wish is that you will enjoy this episode!

TW/CW: SA, Self Harm/Suicide, and yes, we talk about Sandy the cat.

Its episode number lucky13 and we continue our conversation about The Omen, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this week. Once again, we are joined by actor, podcaster, and former Bible teacher Stephen Foxworthy to help us tackle this monumental task. In this episode we dive more into the movie itself and discuss the nature vs. nurture of parenting the Antichrist, the religious-sounding lore created for the movie, and whether or not the movie is actually cursed. So finish covering your walls with pages of the bible and hang those 47 crucifixes because this is one hell of a ride!

It's the 50th Anniversary of one of the Mount Rushmore Films of Religious Horror and we pull out all the stops on our giant gothic pipe organ to discuss The Omen! We couldn't wade into these waters alone so we brought in a ringer--actor, podcaster, and former Bible teacher Stephen Foxworthy. The conversation was so epic that we had to break it into two parts! In this first part, we primarily discuss the theological underpinnings of the film, including Dispensationalism, what the Bible really says about the Antichrist, and Hal Lindsay's The Late Great Planet Earth. So gather your daggers of Megiddo and keep an eye out for Rottweilers because this will be quite a ride. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

It is the dawn of Fulci week and we are taking a look at one of his greatest Holy Terrors--the exceptional giallo Don't Torture a Duckling. We've brought in an expert on the subject to discuss it with us, Matt Rogerson, author of Fulci's Inferno: Faith in the Films of a Horror and Giallo Auteur and The Vatican Versus Horror Movies (follow the links for more information). He is also the editor of Darkest Margins: 24 Essays on Liminality and Liminal Spaces in the Horror Genre. Join us as we talk about the complicated man that was Lucio Fulci as well as the complex themes and ideas that underscore Don't Torture a Duckling, which also happens to be one hell of a great story and film.

Follow Matt on Instagram and Threads @bavalamp and his publishing imprint 1428 @1428publishing for links for information about and to purchase Darkest Margins.

We're back with another episode of The Confessional and we begin with our new segment "Have You Heard the Good News?" where we discuss some positive happenings in the horror world. We then each pick three movies to discuss, old and new including Obsession and Backrooms along with revisits of Smile and Smile 2. What did we think? Did we make any new discoveries? Listen in to find out.

This is also our first episode officially sponsored by Manor. Head over to https://www.manorhq.com/eof to sign up for the monthly newsletter Estate of Fright which includes short non-fiction, short fiction, upcoming pieces on Manor Vellum, and information about the Holy Terrors Podcast.

This week we have a couple exciting updates to share right at the beginning of the episode! Then, because this is a fifth Friday, we have decided to repost one of our favorite episodes to date on Joe Dante's The Burbs. But have no fear, we will be back next week with a brand new Confessional and three full movie discussion episodes for the rest of the month.

In this episode we discuss one of the greatest horror anthologies ever made, Masaki Kobayashi's Kwaidan. We do our best to pull back the layers to examine the currents of Buddhism and Shintoism that run beneath each of the stories. Though we are limited in our understanding, we dove as deep as we could into this fascinating film.

This episode was recorded before we switched to a video format, so there will not be a YouTube edition of this episode, but we hope you will check out our other episodes on YouTube as well as your podcast apps.
