I Know What You Did Last Summer, a favorite slasher/horror movie of the late 90s, grossed over 100 million at the box office.
The revenue and popularity generated by the original were immense. So much so that they decided to follow it up with two sequels.
As always, Hollywood greed crowded out good judgment. The follow-ups were flops.
But, as far as horror movies go, the original still gets strong reviews among regular folk like you and me.
I know that many of my readers probably aren’t into horror movies. But, for some reason, I’ve always been intrigued by them.
As a child, I read every Hitchcock story I could find. I picked up much of what Steven King was writing as well. I read Poe, Mary Shelley, Anne Rice, to name but a few.
There are, of course, many things I now wish I had not read or seen. I am coming to believe, however, that the horror genre, in general, is on to something.
Something to which the church ought to pay attention!
