horror featuring Jesus freaks

After recently seeing Die! Die! My Darling for the first time and loving it, I realized that few things are scarier than Jesus freaks. What are some other horror films worth seeing that feature Jesus freaks?

I can't believe I forgot about Frailty! That was a great one. I still need to buy that one.

You didn't think anyone knew about that, did you? But God saw you!
[Bill Paxton picks up his axe] ... And you can't escape God's wrath!

LOL!

Another older movie that featured religious nuts was Children of the Corn.

But I can't really think of too many other horror films where religious fanatics played the "bad guys." I think this is a great untapped resource in the horror genre. I mean, nothing scares the shit out of me more than people like Jerry Falwell. :eek:

This really does seem to be an untapped area in horror. Why do you think that is? It seems like such a perfect theme for horror.
