Episode 6 of the Netflix series, Sandman, based off the graphic novels by Neil Gaiman, titled “The Sound of Her Wings,” is a gripping meditation on the nature of death and how it shapes life. One can find parallels to St. Francis’s companion, “Sister Death,” and the Christian relationship and understanding of death.

One of the greatest scenes in The Lord of the Rings is Gandalf’s battle with the Balrog. Whenever I watch it or read it, I cannot help but think of the Fellowship’s “plunge” into the darkness of Moria and return to daylight as a sort of baptism for the entire group, especially Gandalf the Grey. As we consider this scene, let us keep the themes of death and resurrection in our hearts and minds.

The power of storytelling ignites something deep within us. A primordial spark rising like the morning star in our hearts that awakens our intellects and emotions and leads us to ponder the things that matter, those things that can bring us joy, and the things that make us who we are. Fine works of art and literature, that strike us to the core, often carry with them subtle notes of Divine Providence.

Vampires Aren't Sexy!! Jacob takes the opportunity to beat his favorite wooden stake and inform anyone he can about the very Christian context of Vampire folk lore. Did you know Vampires and Werewolves don't hate each other? Did you know that vampires don't sparkle in the sun? Did you know that 200 years ago an angsty British dude basically invented the sexy vampire stereotype and ruined it for the rest of us? Of course you didn't! But you will! Jacob insists!!!

There's a noticeable resemblance here between the Nothing and what evil truly is. Evil is the deprivation or absence of good. However, everything God created is good in its origins – namely, that creation was produced by God, Who is all-good.

I’d like to offer my rationale for why I find many common interpretations of “Dracula” scandalous, and in so doing, I hope you’ll learn to embrace “Dracula” as a classic of Christian piety, as well as be inspired by Bram Stoker’s literary example of the importance of faith in a modern age.

Braaaaaaaiiiins. The answer is brains.

In this episode, Mike and Jacob slowly, and ominously, creep towards their point, discussing the depth of the zombie and the death they represent. George Romero, eat your heart out!
