It's the movie that put Rapture Horror on the pop culture map: 1972’s A Thief In The Night. It’s short but packed with B-movie flourishes, Evangelical cultural ephemera, and fundamentalist political paranoia.
My grandparents' church hosted a "family move week" one summer when I was....maybe 10? And showed the entire Thief in the Night franchise. (Super fun for everyone!) Imagine my horror as an incredibly sheltered youngster when we got to the third movie and they showed the main character GETTING HER HEAD CUT OFF IN A GUILLOTINE!!! Truly scarred me for a lot of years.
