  • Summary

  • The 2022 Christian Humanist Halloween crossover is here! This year, Nathan Gilmour and Carter Smith-Stepper join Danny Anderson for a discussion of John Carpenter's under-rated classic Prince of Darkness. The film presents an alternative theological universe in which Satan has spent millenia as the prisoner of a secret sect of the Catholic Church. As he begins to stir, a group of academics, along with a priest, join together to try and stop him from bringing his father, an ancient dark god, back to Earth.

    The film has heavy Lovecraftian themes and Carter, Nathan, and Danny have a spirited (and largely unresolved) theological debate about cosmic horror.
