When “The Slasher Witch Hunt” series began, I felt I knew what was on the horizon. Sooner or later I expected there would be an article about the religious reaction some of these films generated back in the day, a la “Turmoil in the Toy Box”. After the merciless (but no less amusing) previous article on the ultra-feminist outcry, I felt it was only a matter of time before Christians had their turn under the wooden paddle. In similar articles written in the past in other magazines and web sites, authors have been content to take the path of least resistance and skewer Christians as a whole, rather than to dig to the truth and expose the small group of loud protesters Mr. Ellison calls “The Religious Con Men”. These were probably the same folks who claimed He-Man was corrupting America’s youth with its violence.

This is the first article of its kind that I have read that has gone out of its way to identify that small group, without giving the backhand to all Christians. While Mr. Ellison may or may not personally care for Christians or Christianity, his tone of respect and restraint demonstrates a level of professionalism that shows him to be a higher caliber of writer than I see in other well-known publications. Addressing Mr. Ellison directly: You rock.

…And also, I can not think of a more in-your-face Biblical depiction of evil than is featured in the Exorcist. What do people want, anyway? Nice demons that mind their manners?
