Yeah, the Mass isn't performed as it once was. Not in most places.
I prefer the Tridentine form.

I'm going to a wedding soon where a proper Latin Mass will be celebrated.

As for horror movies, I'm pretty sure loving horror movies is a good fit.
I don't mean that in a flippant way. I just mean that Catholicism and the Gothic go hand in hand, and have done from the start of the Gothic genre. This seems to have affected a certain range of horror films.

I agree about the Lazarite "mass."
I also think it would be more disturbing if it looked a bit more familiar, except for the blasphemous elements.

I'd pattern it more after Eastern forms, based on what I recall from reading Abydos.
Or am I mistaken about that element?
