This week on Be Afraid, we take a look at cosmic horror, exploring the monsters we make in our quest to control that which is uncontrollable. Could it be that a world exists that has nothing to do with human cares or concerns? If so, how might we respond?
Joining us this week:
Damien LeVeck is a filmmaker best known for writing and directing The Cleansing Hour, which is one of Shudder’s all-time most popular movies. His next project is a holiday-themed monster movie called A Creature Was Stirring. Pre-order the movie here and check out the rest of Damien’s work at https://skubalonentertainment.com.

Important Note from CT’s President and CEO
Dear CT Reader,
When the brokenness of our world seems endless, more than ever, people need to see the kingdom come.
Christianity Today exists to tell the stories and ideas of the kingdom of God. To make visible the good news that Jesus is still at work today transforming lives and bringing glory to himself.
But we can’t do this without you. Will you give a year-end gift to ensure the stories and ideas of the kingdom of God are made known in a world that is desperate for the hope we have in Christ? Now through December 31, your gift will be doubled, thanks to generous ministry partners.
You can help make the kingdom visible. Give your tax-deductible gift by December 31.
