Before this period, the classical horror villain was ultimately ineffectual. The demonic monster was an isolated, lone individual easily vanquished by an altruistic Christian protagonist. Alternatively, the villain in faith horror is organized into identity-affirming, likeminded religious congregations that successfully overcome protagonists. Faith horror was a cinematic trend that depicted Satanism, witchcraft and paganism during a cultural deliberation over the "Death of God," which debated the legitimacy of alternative spiritualities and the value of alliance to any faith at all. Covering popular works like Rosemary's Baby, The Wicker Man and The Omen, this book regards these films and their literary sources in relation to this historical moment, providing new ways of understanding both the period and the faith horror movement more generally"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Horror films $z United States $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Horror films $z Great Britain $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Satanism in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Paganism in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Witchcraft in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Religion in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $x History $y 20th century. 700 1 $a Laws, Peter $c (Journalist), $e writer of foreword. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20221203071110.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F28F2A185B3C11ED8F2A915D41ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
