"The Burning Hell"  email this discussion to a friend?

The first time I saw that movie, I was about 8 years old sitting in a Sunday School class trying out some new material for my habitual misbehaving in public school the following Monday.
I can't really recall the dialog from the movie, but I do remember that one of the leading actors literally lost his head driving his motorcycle recklessly and ended up burning in "Hell". They had everything in that movie, decapitated heads inside of motorcycle helmets, people being rapped by fire around the clock...deamons that looked like...Darth Maul!

It was AWESOME!!! And at that age, it was probably the best graphic movie I was permitted to watch besides "Carrie" and "The Exorcist".

Later that evening I could not wait to tell all my heathen, neighborhood friends about how cool church was and how they let me see a gory movie in Sunday School. Now that I'm a little older and slightly more mature, I think the Christian leaders were trying to use that movie to scare us in to living a holy life. I'm not sure if they were really hoping that scary movie would stop my constant bad behavior in Sunday School class, but it was finally the kind of entertainment I enjoyed going to church to see.

Did you ever think that church was way too boring until they did something cool like show a great movie or entertain the congregation with the music from a popular Christian rock band?

Church when your a little kid is kinda boring. I grew up in the Nazarene church, I was going to church 9 months before I was born. I'll admit that scaring kids into living a holy life is not the answer, its supposed to be done by example. We would show a movie called "Thief in the Night", it was about the rapture and what happens if you don't accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior. It was a campy movie at best but it did strike a few teens and I saw some changed lives. I don't remember "The Burning Hell" though, sounds like a popcorn and sangria good time. I do remember watching those movies about death and dismemberment in Drivers Ed. Now those were cool, Faces of Death too.

I saw "Thief in the Night" at church also. It made me think about all the wonderful and interesting accidents that will happen. Too bad they didn't show what will happen when an unoccupied passenger train would look like running amok through a down town mall or a unoccupied, speeding, "Jesus Saves" bumper sticker-filled Toyota would do to a full nursing home lobby. Oh well, so much for Christian entertainment.
