"Whom the Sentinel Tolls"

Films: The Sentinel (1977)

Alias: Various

Type: Mystical

Location: Haunted home

Height/Weight: That of average humans.

Affiliation: Evil

Summary: We often think the gateway to Hell is somewhere underground, in a temple, the White House, whatever. But no, it's in an apartment building. And there needs to be someone for upkeep.

History: A very specific Brooklyn brownstone house has a dark secret. The way to Hell lies there, and visitors who have sinned have the potential to become a Sentinel for salvation. The Sentinel must guard Hell for the rest of his/her natural life, and the current one, excommunicated Catholic Father Halliran, is running out of time to live. Better get that neurotic visitor on the line!

Notable Kills: Nothing special.

Final Fate: The demons chase down the visitor, but Father and his compatriots convince her not to commit suicide, and put her in the role of Sentinel. Good or bad thing? You decide.

Powers/Abilities: None.

Weakness: Anything conventional.

Scariness Factor: 4-There's a lot of demons here, and they're all horribly ugly! They look like poor fellas being infected with elephant man syndrome, but minus any of the humanity!

Trivia: -As indicated by the bio title, this film was shot on location in Brooklyn Heights.

-Excommunication refers to restricting and suspending one's right to practicing religion.

If it helps, you'll meet a lot of new faces.


Since when did demons allow nuns into their ranks?


At least they can be harmed. Might want to get a few cages for the body pparts that might hound you, though.

And that is that.

So...how did you earn time in Hell?
Hate to think of what would happen if one were to demolish that.
