New Book "The Forbidden Body" Explores Sex And Religion In Horror Films

New Book “The Forbidden Body” Explores Sex And Religion In Horror Films

Some people prefer their sex, horror, and religion separate, however, others, not so much. In the book The Forbidden Body: Sex, Horror, and the Religious Imagination, Douglas E. Cowan explores one of the most prevalent—but least discussed—intersections of horror culture. From creature features that reinforce conventional notions of sexuality to indie horror flicks that ask what happens when different gods come knocking, from nunsploitation to the sacrificial body, find out what happens when sex, horror, and the religious imagination come together. Throughout history, religion has attempted to control nothing so much as our bodies: what they are and what they mean; what we do with them, with whom, and under what circumstances; how they may be displayed—or, more commonly, how they must be hidden. Yet, we remain fascinated, obsessed even, by bodies that have left, or been forced out of, their “proper” place. The Forbidden Body examines how horror culture treats these bodies, exploring the dark spaces where sex and

New Trailer Teases 'All Your Friends Are Dead'

New Trailer Teases ‘All Your Friends Are Dead’

One of the characters in the upcoming indie horror film All Your Friends Are Dead laments, “In movies starring middle-aged people if they die, they die from heart attacks, some rare blood disease, cancer, or diabetes. Not knives, machetes, or chainsaws. Nothing sexy like that.” Well, this movie is about to change all of that! “When 35-year-old Matt Wilbee looks at the current state of his life, he recognizes through depression that his best years may be far behind him. After making the drastic decision to end his life, he writes an email alerting the estranged, but once inseparable, high school friend group dubbed, “The Pack,” that he will be saying goodbye for good at the camping grounds they all had last seen one another at. Rushing to his side, Matt’s old friends arrive just in time at the campsite to save his life…but little do they know, a deranged masked killer is lurking in the woods, ready to pick
