Extra! Bill Cosby accusers make New York Magazine cover

New York Magazine, July 26, 2015

"Cosby: The Women, An Unwelcome Sisterhood," the cover of New York Magazine's latest issue reads. In a striking black-and-white cover image, 35 women who say they were raped by comedian Bill Cosby are photographed together. The dates of their respective attacks are written below each woman. Among the alleged victims who have spoken out (there have been 46 in total) are actress Beverly Johnson, supermodel Janice Dickinson and one of the stars of The Cosby Show TV series, Lily Bernard.

The magazine cover story comes after the 77-year-old Cosby denied all sexual assault allegations last Wednesday and asserted that one of his accusers, Andrea Constand, was slandering him by leaking evidence he gave to a court 10 years ago.

While Cosby has always declared his innocense, the allegations that first became public in October 2014 have ended his acting career and destroyed his reputation.

“The Nun II” has little to show for itself except for its repetitive jump scares — but could it also be a danger to your soul?

Christians have a complicated relationship with the horror genre. On the one hand, horror movies are one of the few types of Hollywood films that unapologetically treat Christianity (particularly Catholicism) as good.

“The Exorcist” remains one of the most successful and acclaimed movies of all time. More recently, “The Conjuring” franchise — about a wholesome husband and wife duo who fight demons for the Catholic Church in the 1970s and related spinoffs about the monsters they’ve fought — has more reverent references to Jesus than almost any movie I can think of in recent memory (even more than many faith-based films).

The Catholic film critic Deacon Steven Greydanus once mentioned that one of the few places where you can find substantial positive Catholic representation was inhorror films.
