The first movie on my list is Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter. Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter (2001) is directed by Lee Gordon Demarbre. JCVH is an outrageous, tongue-in-cheek musical about the return of Jesus to wage war against the vampires who are preying on our vulnerable lesbians. To embolden his fight, he makes use of Kung-Fu and the assistance of a masked Mexican wrestler. The tagline reads, “The Power of Christ Impales You!!!” Clearly not for everyone, but cult film lovers dream! http://youtu.be/4LRIypcaIX4
You might have always assumed that the antichrist would be a person, but according to this John Carpenter original the antichrist is actually – wait for it – a giant vat of green goo. http://youtu.be/D5I3Lt8PwyQ
Speaking of the antichrist Young Damien is a little different than the other children. Namely, people seem to suffer bizarre deaths in his presence. The audience follows his family as they discover the horrible truth – their only son is the antichrist. What makes the film a classic is the parents’ believable relationship and genuine reactions to the insane events happening around them. Damien is also creepy as hell which helps. http://youtu.be/P87-_Y4H_1c
At the end of the century, Satan visits New York in search of a bride. It's up to an ex-cop who now runs an elite security outfit to stop him. http://youtu.be/SzkwtbyiaME
Let's talk about Priests shall we, and exorcisms and all that nonsense This next film takes an interesting approach to the subject by wrapping the disturbing tale of Emily Rose in a court case against the very priest who performed the exorcism. It is ripe with scary bits, but it also tackles the concept of faith vs. science in a very powerful way, leaving you both scared and ready to discuss what exactly the movie was trying to say. http://youtu.be/lSy7DldFdUI
This next movie is perhaps one of the first horror movies ever made, Satan comes flying into a castle and begins redecorating, his way.The film contains many traditional pantomime elements and is intended to amuse people, rather than frighten them. http://youtu.be/OBArxsdF2rs
There is an old old story in Judaism that claims that a very powerful holy man once created a creature from clay to protect his people from an invading army, this creature was called Golem and was shackled to his creators will through powerfully imbued medallions. The Golem made in 1920 explores this story for the first time on film. http://youtu.be/QTEN9JL1A_g
Then we have Rosemarys Baby by Roman Polanski http://youtu.be/PewtQsgN5uo starring Mia Farrow and John Cassavetes they move into a new apartment building and while surrounded by really creepy old people Rosemary gets pregnant and has the son of the devil. They must have been in a rent controlled building is the only excuse I can figure.
In 17th-century France, Father Urbain Grandier seeks to protect the city of Loudun from the corrupt establishment of Cardinal Richelieu. Hysteria occurs within the city when he is accused of witchcraft by a sexually repressed nun. http://youtu.be/xqBAKptamUk The film faced harsh reaction from national film rating systems due to its disturbingly violent, sexual, and religious content, and originally received an X rating in both Britain and the United States. It was banned in several countries, and eventually heavily edited for release in others. The film has never received a release in its original, uncut form in various countries, and is largely unavailable in the home video market.
Divine justice… with an ax named “Otis,” that is what the Meiks family is all about. A father and his two sons seek to enact God’s will on those who have committed unthinkable sins. It doesn’t always go smoothly, and as the Matthew McConaughey told flashbacks indicate, one of the boys was hesitant to accept the family’s divine mission. The movie keeps you guessing throughout, and of the many possible conclusions there is one truly great one – there are angels among us, and they are wielding axes!http://youtu.be/JKFi3owPUmg
My favorite out of this list however has to go to The Prophecy, because Christopher Walken thats why! http://youtu.be/AOvg7AeQS80
A Thief in the Night is the first of many ‘70s era horror films made by conservative Christians who had one simple goal – get people to convert and fast. The films took a literal approach to the horrors of the end times by depicting beheadings of Christians and an actual rapture. Fellow Beliefnet editors who saw these movies as children vouch for their effectiveness at scaring children. In retrospect though, it is mainly frightening that someone thought this was a good idea.http://youtu.be/W6xmDRwcjv4
And the lady of the day is................ Linda Blair from The Exorcist while only a child at the time of making The Exorcist Linda became the face for modern Horror and even though none of the Horror movies she starred in after The Exorcists did quite as well as that first hit Blar has a cult following that spans decades and continents any actor would give their eye teeth for. http://youtu.be/D1PH_Y8Xn4g
