99CR 43: If Footmen Tire You What Will Horses Do? w/guest Aileen Clark

Aileen Clark of Uy Que Horror is back to join us for a look at two truly unhinged scare films. In the 1960s and 70s churches occasionally produced low budget morality tales and scare movies to frighten their congregations into going back to church if they feel like they're slacking off. The problem is that they were made by people who didn't know how to make movies with casts of non-actors and extremely low budgets. They were cheap and terrible and everyone hated watching them. Along came Ron and June Ormond and their son Tim, the first family of exploitation, teamed up with Reverend Estus W. Pirkle, a charismatic fundamentalist preacher from Mississippi to adapt Pirkle's fire and brimstone sermon If Footmen Tire You What Will Horses Do that threatened easily frightened Christians with seeking out draconian churches that shunned anything looking like empathy and service in favor of a hard line position against all things communism.

In the sequel, The Burning Hell, Estus Pirkle has decided that his last sermon didn't put enough terror in the hearts of Christians over going to hell so here's one that's literally all about how much hell sucks and how you definitely want to accept Jesus Christ into your heart so you don't go there.

These fiery sermons are illustrated with scenes of trashy, gory violence that you definitely don't expect to find in movies meant for fragile, easily offended Christian people. They are completely weird and hilarious.
