Logos fans know that masturbating to porn makes you go blind to other sins, but do they know how sexual sin creates monsters? In this episode, Professor Rachel Fulton Brown talks with Dr. E. Michael Jones about how monsters like Frankenstein, Dracula, and the Alien arose in Western culture as an answer to the anxieties created by the sexual revolution. We talk about movies like _The Rocky Horror Picture Show_ as a stimulus for the acceptance of transgenderism and whether such camp plays the same role as horror. We also talk about the representation of Jesus in the Talmud as a background for the degradation of Christ in modern Hollywood, and whether Mel Gibson’s _The Passion of the Christ_ counts as horror. Recorded on October 30, 2020, in anticipation of All Hallows’ Eve, with prayers for the recovery of reverence for All Saints’ Day. Recommended reading: E. Michael Jones, _Monsters from the Id: The Rise of Horror in Fiction and Film_ (Fidelity Press, 2012); and Peter Schäfer, _Jesus in the Talmud_ (Princeton University Press, 2007).
