Carrie is one that comes to mind. Her mother was the perfect religious fanatic villian.

How could I forget about Carrie? You are right - that was a classic religious fanatic.

One of the great granddaddies of them all was Robert Mitchum in Night of the Hunter! Totally, absolutely flipped out crazy.

Here's a documentary entitled "Jesus Camp" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0486358/) this just came out recently.

Yeah, I've seen that. While it was terrifying, I'm trying to keep this focused on horror - or at least films intended as horror. But you are right - Jesus Camp was the single scariest film I've ever seen.

I keep seeing this at my local DVD rental store. I haven't seen it yet, but I guess I need to check it out.

Scary because it is real and people just like it features could easily be living next door to you. In fact, I am fairly confident that my neighborhood is filled with them.

I thought that title sounded familiar. I just looked it up and now I remember than I watched that during the last horror challenge. That was a great flick. You are right - he played that role to perfection.

Wouldn't 'Population 436' be sorta like this? They would kill people to make sure that their population remained the same so that God wouldn't be angry...

I suppose so. The difference (at least for me) would be that this wasn't all that prominent in the film. It did provide the background but it wasn't exactly in the viewer's face most of the time. Still, I think you are right.
