Encounter Radio Program on Sacred Horror

4781294-3x2-340x227I will be one of the guests on the Encounter radio program out of Australia on the subject of “Sacred Horror: Zombie Resurrections and Vampire Souls.” The website description:

From the legends of Frankenstein and Dracula to films about zombies, witches and vampires, supernatural horror has always captured the popular imagination. Fictional horror scares us because they confront us with our deepest fears about death and the unknown. They make us tremble, but they also act as catharsis. So it’s no wonder then that the horror genre often intersects with religion.

The lineup of guests includes:

Jana Riess
Author of What Would Buffy Do: The Vampire Slayer as Spiritual Guide

Douglas E. Cowan
Professor of Religious Studies, Renison University College, University of Waterloo, Canada

John Morehead
Co-editor of The Undead and Theology and creator of website TheoFantastique

Mike Duran
Christian novelist, California

Ashley Moyse
Research Affiliate, Vancouver School of Theology, Canada

Philip Johnson
Theologian

My interview will be broadcast this Saturday, 20th July at 5:00 p.m. (AEST) and repeated Wednesday, 24th July at 1:00 p.m. (AEST). The program is approximately 53 mins, and begins just after the news. It will also be available for download shortly after the first broadcast from the Encounter website: http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/encounter/vampires-with-souls2c-zombie-resurrections/4773674
