Holy Horror and the Bible: A Conversation with Steve Wiggins


Steve Wiggins is an independent scholar and author of Holy Horror: The Bible and Fear in Movies (McFarland, 2018). As the title indicates, Steve looks at how the Bible is incorporated into horror films. He and I discuss this and related topics in this conversation. From the book’s back cover:

What, exactly, makes us afraid? Is it monsters, gore, the unknown? Perhaps it’s a biblical sense of malice, lurking unnoticed in the corners of horror films. Holy Writ attempts to ward off aliens, ghosts, witches, psychopaths and demons, yet it often becomes a source of evil itself.
