On the 174th episode of Piecing It Together, Josh Bell from Awesome Movie Year joins me for The Vigil, a horror movie that finds its inspiration not in Christian and Catholic iconography (like so many horror movies), but in Jewish imagery and a very particular (and very creepy) Jewish ceremony. Puzzle pieces include The Possession, The Exorcist, The Boy and The Evil Dead.
