That stuff is only scary to a very specific group of Christians.

Man I’m an asshole. But still, I feel the trope is played out in horror.

I just don’t get it. How is a pentagram scary?

    What if they made a horror movie about an evangelical Christian church but, they do satanic cult stuff for Jesus. Or better yet, a Pentecostal church.

    I imagine it’s not a new idea though. They probably did it at least once in the 70s.

      There is the movie Godless: The Easfield Exorcism where the horror is that Christians are exorcising a women who isn’t actually possessed but is instead having a mental health crisis. It’s based off a real story too. Not exactly what you’re saying, but at least along the lines.

      I also agree with this post, I’m tired of Satanic and Demonic imagery in horror. It does nothing for me.
