Holy Horror: a Quantitative Analysis of the Use of Religion in the Yearly Top Grossing Horror Films from 2000 to 2009
Holy Horror: A Quantitative Analysis of the Use of Religion in the Yearly Top Grossing Horror Films From 2000 to 2009 Jason Wheeler Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Arts in the Department of Communications, Liberty University May 2011 1 Acknowledgments To my Mom and Dad, thank you for all of your support, both physically and financially, throughout the process of writing this thesis. Without your help this accomplishment would not have been possible. To my brother, thank you for everything you did that allowed me to be able to accomplish this thesis. Without your help, I could never have made it. While these past two years were difficult, you brother made it easier, and that is something that will always be very special to me. I would also like to thank the rest of my family for your support throughout this process. 2 Abstract The yearly top-grossing films from 2000 to 2009 were analyzed to see if correlation exists between overt religious content and box office success. Also, the films were analyzed to see if correlation exists between overt religious content and IMDb.com user ratings. Neither box office success nor IMDb.com user ratings were found to be correlated with over religious content. 3 Table of Contents Acknowledgments…………………………………………………………………………1 Abstract……………………………………………………………………………………2 Chapter 1: Introduction……………………………………………………………………4 Chapter 2: Literature Review……………………………………………………………...7 Chapter 3: Methodology …………………………………………………………………20 Chapter 4: Study………………………………………………………………………….25 Chapter 5: Discussion……………………………………………………………………49 Bibliography.……………………………………………………………………………..53 4 Holy Horror: A Quantitative Analysis of the Use of Religion in the Yearly Top Grossing Horror Films From 2000 to 2009 Introduction The popularity of the horror genre has risen significantly over the past few decades, but opinions on what makes these films so popular is widely varied. -

R EVELATION AND I DOLATR Y : HOLY L AW AND H OLY T E RRO R REGINA MARA SCHWARTZ, NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY For Alain Badiou, the contemporary French philosopher of the radical Left, a subject is what is summoned into being by a response of persistent fidelity to an eternally enduring “truth event,” which breaks disruptively, unpredictably, into the given in all of its irreducible, incommunicable singularity, beyond all law, consensus, and conventional understanding. Badiou has argued that eth- ics is not the singular revelation of truth, but an ongoing process, that is, the process of remaining faithful to that truth. As Terry Eagleton summarizes, “It is a question of ‘persevering in the disruption,’ a phrase which clips together both innovation and continuity, visionary crisis and dogged consistency, or what in Badiou’s language would be the ‘immortal’ and the ‘mortal’…. He wants, in short, to insert the eternal into time, negotiate the passage between truth event and everyday life, which is what we know as politics” (250). -
Cinema Paradiso
CINEMA PARADISO by Giuseppe Tornatore FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY Shooting Script 1 GIANCALDO. SALVATORE'S MOTHER'S HOUSE. EXT/INT. DAY The October sun slashes through the gray clouds, cuts across the shadow towards the sea, along the coast where the new suburbs of the city of Giancaldo have been built up. Bright light streams through the windows, glancing off the white walls in an almost blinding reflection. MARIA, a woman a little over sixty, is trying to find somebody on the phone. MARIA ...Salvatore, that's right, Salvatore. Di Vita Salvatore ...But, miss, what do you mean you don't know him?!...I...Yes... (She gives a nervous sigh. She has dialed her way through endless numbers but still hasn't managed to speak to Mr. Di Vita. She finally heaves a sigh of relief.) ...That's right, good for you! Oh!...yes...And I'm his mother. I'm calling from Sicily. Been trying all day...Ah, he's not there...But would you be so kind as to give me...?...Yes... (She nods at another woman around forty sitting nearby: it is LIA, her daughter, who jots down the numbers her mother dictates:) ...Six, five, six, two, two, oh, six...Thanks ever so much...Goodbye. Goodbye. She hangs up, takes the number LIA has jotted down, determined to have still another try. LIA speaks to her as if she were a baby, to be more convincing. LIA Look, Ma...It's useless calling him. He'll be terribly busy, God knows where he is. Besides he might not even remember. -
