Some horror films are not just surprisingly religious but thoroughly Catholic and sacramental, and shockingly orthodox. The first, “Monstrous Being,” outlines the metaphysical framework and assumptions underlying horror films. Each section is grounded in a discussion of several horror films. Some folk horror productions even associate those suppressed pagan realities with female religious power. Beyond its undoubted contribution to theological discussion, the book will stir fevered conversations among horror fans who are immersed in the genre.
