Welcome to episode 43 of The Horror Double Bill, the podcast where each week we pair two movies to create something greater than the sum of their parts.

This week we are visiting church with two films which that suggest our holiest of buildings could hide mysterious ancient forces lurking in their cellars.

Prince of Darkness (1987) dir. John Carpenter w. Donald Pleasence, Victor Wong, Jameson Parker, Dennis Dunn, and Lisa Blount.

The Borderlands aka Final Prayer (2013) dir. by Elliot Goldner w. Gordon Kennedy, Aidan McArdle, and Robin Hill.
