In The Lobby: Christians on Horror (Part 1: Attractions to Horror)

Popcorn Theology

Do you like scary movies? This week, our “In The Lobby” materializes from the mist with “Christians on Horror”. Novelist Mike Duran emerges from his coffin as the hairy, howling Pastor Joe Thorn claws his way into the conversation, moderated by our host and horror expert James Harleman. Over the coming weeks we’ll delve into the controversy surrounding an oft-misunderstood genre: what are the attractions, the objections, the redemptive aspects, and our hosts’ favorite horror films for those who want to see and understand scary movies mindfully. Watch the episode HERE.

Mike Duran has literally written the book on this subject: check out Christian Horror: On the Compatibility of a Biblical Worldview and the Horror Genre and his horror books and more at Amazon.com. Visit his website mikeduran.com
