Faith horror refers to a significant outcropping of mid-1960s and
1970s films and adaptative novels that depict non-Christian
communities of evil doers and their activities. 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.
