“Modern horror is a reverse Christian narrative. If Christians believe in a story of sin, redemption, and restoration, horror films now portray a state of innocence marred by sin, but redeemed by attacking creation and destroying man altogether. In its place reigns what man should ultimately give himself to: unbridled nihilistic evil.”
(Jon Harris – TruthScript) John Doyle, a Catholic political commentator, recently discussed horror movies on his show in response to a controversy on X involving the blowback his fellow Blaze commentator and Baptist Allie Beth Stuckey received for suggesting that Christians should not watch horror films.
One point Doyle makes that I think is worth repeating is that early horror movies contained a good-versus-evil element that was both stark and comforting. In films like Dracula (1931), The Mummy (1932), and The Wolf Man (1941), good ultimately triumphs over evil, and that good was often associated with Christian symbols and beliefs. In the battle between God and Satan (Revelation 20:10), God ultimately wins, and relying on Him is the only real option in fighting evil (James 4:7).
