Church Potluck: A Smorgasbord of Christian Curiosity

Brace yourselves for a chilling journey as we traverse the shadowy realms of horror and Christianity in the latest season of Church Potluck. Picture this: you're plunged into a world where spine-tingling tension meets a quest for spiritual insight. Sounds like a thrilling ride, right? Buckle up as Clint Peters (creative writing), Curt Hersey (communication), Mike Bailey (political science), and Dale McConkey (sociology), serve up a tantalizing platter of frightful conversations and Christian Curiosity.
This episode is a rollercoaster ride through the eerie world of horror films, from the controversy they stir up to their undeniable magnetism. We unravel the Freudian theory of repression in horror, the medical horrors in The Exorcist, and the origin story of legendary director Wes Craven. On this ride, horror isn't just about jump scares and blood-curdling screams; it's an exploration of fear, the unknown, and our instinctive reactions.
The journey doesn't end there. We turn the spotlights to the '80s, an era that saw music and horror mesh in a way that sparked both dread and fascination. We explore the Christian themes subtly woven into horror films. As we wrap up, we take a step back to appreciate the global horror landscape, understanding how different cultures might perceive and express fear. So, sit tight and let's plunge into the terrifying essence of horror. Are you ready for some goosebumps?
