Ebook: Scared Sacred: Idolatry, Religion and Worship in the Horror Film

Scared Sacred: Idolatry, Religion and Worship in the Horror Film is an anthology exploring religious and supernatural themes across the pantheon of horror cinema. From atheism in Lovecraft’s cinematic adaptations, to martyrdom in modern-day horror, to the relationship between the feline-fatale and zoolatry, the book traces the historical landscape carved by religion, folklore and the cinematic church of horror—culminating in analyses of contemporary, and specifically mainstream, trends. The first in a small series dedicated to religion in the horror film from House of Leaves Publishing, the book includes a foreword by Doug Bradley—“Pinhead” himself—and contributions from myriad leading film critics, historians and writers.

First edition (limited to 100 copies with a numbered certificate).
