Reverend Challis lived by the scriptures‚ a Puritan at heart who loathed the hypocrisy of the church order he represented. Above all he loathed Christmas Day‚ a time of festival annexed from primitive Celts in a pragmatic ploy to shepherd the heathen flocks towards enlightenment. Unfortunately‚ the Christmas festivities remained corrupted by a plethora of Pagan practices. God the Almighty was betrayed by weak minded Anglican bishops‚ cowards who would not impose Holy law upon the masses. As time

in Salem‚ the infamous witch trials of 1692 would not have taken place. Most villagers were interested in themselves and none other. One such character is Reverend Parris from the historical play The Crucible‚ which concerns these Salem witch trials. He is only interested in his good name.

This movie is about a crooked reverend/serial killer who tries to charm a gullible widow and steal ten thousand dollars hidden by her dead husband. He is motivated by his hatred for women and his belief that he is doing “God’s work”. From the very beginning‚ we see Reverend Harry Powell fleeing away from his most recent murder scene.
