Horror movies according to Christianity.com
This is a pretty funny thread. Surprisingly, most of them defend the movies. One quote, though:

Quote:
Horror movies are fantasy, but they are also "of the world". As a Christian, I have to live in the world, but I choose not to be of the world. Satan has had his hand in the entertainment industry since it all began. I have set myself apart as holy to The Lord as He has commanded us to do. It is my pleasure to live my life as holy as possible.

Now... I still have fun, still laugh, still enjoy myself. But I can't honestly see anything redeeming about horror movies in general. Would we watch a slasher flick on the big overhead screens at church? Would we watch it in front of our pastor and congregation?
"That Passion of the Christ" says hi.

Yes and yes (Except for the old people, but that's more because they're old)

horror movies are the root of all evil. i can't believe that people actually watch that trash. watching people brutally murdered should not be in anyway viewed for entertainment value. all these "films" do is make a new batch of truly disturbed generation.
