Reporter Kimberly Winston explores the links and intersections between religion and horror with Dr. Jonathan Greenaway from the University of Chester in Manchester, England. Greenaway is halfway through his two-year research investigation supported by the Templeton Religion Trust. In this segment, Greenaway describes the ways the horror genre can explore the same questions religion grapples with, like why evil exists and where is God when people suffer. Then Dr. Greenaway recommends films, television shows, and books where religion and horror meet in meaningful ways.
