I don't know how good it is, but I tried to do one with an accurate depiction of ghosts as I think they might be. I'd be interested to hear more thoughts on this matter after you've written something. Good luck if you do.
I love that you've taken the time to think about the horror genre from a spiritual perspective. I do think there are opportunities here--"horror" is the counterpoint to the quality of *wonder* upon which speculative fiction is built, and thus I think it's certainly possible to reveal greater wonder through the medium of horror without getting stuck in the darkness of horror.

Thank you for your thoughts, Harold! I hope I can write one soon.
You're welcome.

We'll have to establish the conventions of the genre. Some suggestions:
1) The Dominican (Blackfriar) always dies first;
2) Couples who engage in Friday meat eating likewise come to grim ends;
3) The nun the other sisters picked on saves the day; and
4) The Jesuit is usually the baddie.
