I've added a new tag for this, since I've decided that I'd like to keep a tally of things I wish for in horror and see if maybe I can fill some of them for myself. In the meantime, expect "horror wishlist"-tagged items to have a lot of whining and kvetching in the two-fisted manner you've come to expect etc etc.

The proximate trigger for this is watching The Mist while having trouble sleeping, but there are dozens, maybe hundreds, of examples in my reading and viewing behind it. I am really tired of writers too lazy to do the slightest homework and come up with actual biblical and related passages for religious loony characters to expound upon.

The Bible is full of marvelous things for psychos to adopt as their own. So are the apocrypha, the early church fathers, and on and on through the intensely deranged threads within Reformation doomsaying and right up to the modern day. There is no need to invent jumbled garbage - it's all out there lying around to be picked up, and search engines and topic indexes and stuff to bring it right to your screen. I want more loonies with authentic rants, unless they're supposed to be using the trappings and rhythms for an avowedly other message.
