Scared Sacred is the first anthology in a small series exploring the complex relationship between religion and the cinematic church of horror.

Featuring a foreword from Hellraiser's Pinhead, Doug Bradley, each first-edition paperback (limited to 500 copies) comes with a numbered certificate and reversible page marker.

The collection's sixteen chapters dissect your favourite films through a critical lens, with subjects ranging from the Medieval witch (HΓ€xan) to Korean Shamanism (Whispering Corridors), gender politics in Buddhism (Onibaba) to race politics in 1970s America (Ganja & Hess), and demonic warfare (The Amityville Horror;The Conjuring) to the horror of faith (The Exorcist III).

Along with sixteen original chapter illustrations in a woodcut style, the stunning cover art is embellished in classic silver foiling.
