I love this reflection. I love horror films. I wasn’t allowed to watch them as a child, but I was both enraptured and horrified by stories of demons and exorcisms in my rural Pentecostal community. I found that I enjoyed being scared, whether it was good for me or not.

The most recent movie script I wrote includes a scene of a Pentecostal church exorcism that is basically taken from my own experience witnessing exorcisms growing up.

I love this. I can’t watch horror films-the pictures stick in my imagination and resurge during prayer or give me nightmares. BUT I have a love and fascination with movies and the way they often “prophesy” about the times, culture, and even the future.
