Continuing The Horror Conversation

Paul’s counter to the legalistic approach was for believers to readjust our focus, to explore, if you will, the things above. Which is why I generally ask in these discussions about horror, why we believers aren’t doing more in our fiction to show the light—God’s light and truth.

Stories And Human Nature

What I find fascinating about these three movies is the theme that runs through them—unlikeable characters depicting marriage as psychological warfare; evil is real and we can’t get rid of it; and “good” removed leaves evil to fend for—and against—itself.

Slenderman: Requiem For Responsibility

Okay, so yeah, I know that I’ve been gone for a while. Real life has intruded (and in a severe way just recently). But something happened recently that’s so bizarre, so surreal, that it’s prompted me to come out of […]

Halloween, Horrors, and ‘Star Wars’

Do you “observe†or not observe Halloween? Have you changed from one view to another? Share your thoughts on that, or on the “Star Wars†empire assimilation, the horror genre, or that evidently heresy-flooded “Noah†movie.
