Horror Reviews and Bizarre News

Clergymen provide us with spiritual guidance and emotional support, but when they go bad, they go very bad. Take a look at this roundup of 13 men of the cloth who went over to the dark side. Then vote on who the scariest movie preacher of all time.

BROTHER Michael Crabtree Kids Jersey JUSTIN CROWE played by Clancy Brown in "Carnivale" (HBO, 2003 5). Powerfully built Brown has portrayed some frightening villains, most memorably The Kurgan in "Highlander." Here he's a fiendish, supernatural version of Father Coughlin, the hate mongering Depression era radio preacher. Brother Justin has the power to bring people sins and darkest desires to life in horrifying visions. He uses his radio show to brainwash the masses to do his bidding. But the Dust Bowl devil is not above resorting to physical means, mowing down uncooperative folks with a scythe.

CALEB, played by Nathan Fillion in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (Season 7, 2003). Before handsome Nathan made female viewers hearts flutter as Capt. Mal in "Firefly," he terrified them as this sadistic sociopath with a pathological hatred of women. A defrocked priest, Caleb was chosen by the First Evil to lead its campaign to wipe out humanity. Able to channel its power, he possesses immense physical strength and is seemingly indestructible, making him http://www.official49ersnflproshop.com/Nike-Anthony-Davis-Jersey.html one of Buffy's most dangerous adversaries. The folksy, scripture quoting madman has a real mean streak, gratuitously gouging out the eye of funny guy Zander. Here he cuts short the career of a wannabe Slayer.

FATHER LUCAS, played by Anthony Hopkins in "The Rite" (2011). Welsh Jesuit Father Lucas is the Vatican's top exorcist until he's possessed by a demon himself. Incredibly, the supernatural thriller is based on real events as recounted by then exorcist in training, Father Gary Thomas. Yeah, sure. More believable is Hopkins acting. He resists the temptation to chew the scenery in favor of an understated, chilling performance. In this scene, the trainee (James Caviezel) is horrified to learn that his mentor is now batting for the other team.

REVEREND HENRY KANE, played by Julian Beck in "Poltergeist 2" (1992). Kane was the leader of 19th century doomsday cult who snuffed out the lives of his followers and became a ghostly Beast who keeps their spirits imprisoned.

Kane tries every trick in the book to gain entry into the Freeling family's haunted house. In one grotesque scene, he transforms himself into a worm that the dad Steven (Craig T. Nelson) swallows with his tequila. The parasitic entity possesses the guy and tries to rape his wife before being vomited out as a hideous, scuttling monster. Watch these two memorable sequences: A Stranger and Let Me In.

REVEREND LESTER LOWE, played by Everett McGill in "Silver Bullet" (1985). With the over hanging brow that made him a perfect caveman in "Quest for Fire," McGill is a scary looking dude under the best of circumstances. As the werewolf in this tale from Stephen King, he's even more terrifying. And the odds are against his target: a wheelchair bound boy whose dopey uncle (Gary Busey) arms himself with only ONE silver bullet.

ANTHONY TIPET played by Keith Szarabajka in "The X Files" (Season 8, Episode 7). Tipet is the leader of a religious cult who preaches that the Via Negativa or of darkness is the true way to reach Nirvana.

REVEREND HARRY POWELL, played by Robert Mitchum Frank Gore Jersey in " Night of the Hunter" (1955). As this bogus preacher and serial killer who sports the words and tattooed across the knuckles of each hand, Mitchum is even more menacing here than he was as a rapist stalker in Fear. The charismatic Rev. Powell woos the unsuspecting widow of his former cellmate to get his hands on hidden loot from a robbery. After marrying and murdering her, he relentlessly tracks her two children. The atmospheric film was inspired by the true story of Harry Powers, hanged in 1932 for the murders of two widows and three children in Clarksburg, West Virginia.

Here are two memorable scenes we call Not My Dad

and Sleepless Preacher

ZOMBIE PRIEST played by Tony Sedgwick in "28 Days Later" (2002). Mild mannered bicycle messenger Jim awakens from a coma to find London is besieged by zombies (worse still, fast ones) and he takes refuge in a church. An ominous sign is that the words End is Extremely F Nigh are scrawled on the wall. Jim is relieved when a priest emerges until the infected clergymen tries to eat him alive.

FATHER ZACHARY MALIUS, played by Charles Cragin in "Happy Hell Night" (1992). Friendly neighborhood priest Father Malius goes crazy and slaughters seven frat boys at Winfield College, then is committed to an asylum. Twenty five years later, fun loving students from the fraternity stage a prank at the booby hatch, and Father Malius is inadvertently freed. It appears that he has not been entirely cured, because the psycho priest promptly launches a bloody spree of murder and mayhem. Cornered, the false priest Czakyr commits suicide, taking his young victims with him. The locals bury him in a crypt beneath the church and flood it. But when a pair of teenage girls take a late night dip in the water, Czakyr is awakened and attacks them, unleashing a vampire plague. Before long, the town has become a bloodsucker haven like Salem's Lot.

CARDINAL PATRICK ROARK, played by Rutger Hauer in "Sin City" (2005). Shielding pedophile priests just isn't good enough for this corrupt and sinister church official. He protects his nephew Kevin (Elijah Wood), a cannibal serial killer who murders women, eats their bodies and mount their heads on his wall. Cardinal Roark joins in the grisly meals and frames Mickey Rourke's tough guy hero for one of the murders sins he answers for in this scene.

BISHOP Michael Crabtree Womens Jersey ANTHONY LILLIMAN, played by John Standing in "V for Vendetta" (2006).

FATHER ANTONIN, played by Jack Palance in "Deadly Sanctuary" (1969). In this version of the Marquis De Sade's "Justine," Father Antonin livens up monastery life by subjecting the title character to torture and sexual abuse. Palance is no stranger to over acting, but this performance is over the top even for him, one critic calling it "one of the most bizarre ever seen on film." Perhaps he was trying to balance out the wooden star Romina Power, daughter of screen legend Tyrone Power. "She was a like a piece of furniture," director Jesus Franco later grumbled. "It was as if I was making Bambi 2." Well, Bambi 2 with nudity and sadism.
