Ep. 34 - Christian Scare Films (The Burning Hell / If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do?)
Manage episode 357430096 series 3455788
Ron Ormond was a B-movie exploitation director before a near-death experience inspired him to start producing some of the most bizarre and gruesome Christian films ever made. We're joined by Cinematary’s Michael O’Malley to discuss two of his surreally morbid collaborations with Baptist preacher Estes Pirkle: 1974’s nightmare vision The Burning Hell, and 1971’s anti-communist screed If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do? We discuss how Ormond moved from the drive-in to the altar, the not-coincidental collision between evangelical Christianity and anti-Communism, and the effect these gory spectacles (which were shown at church!) would have had on young believers.
