Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Burning Moon is a 1992 German horror film, directed by Olaf Ittenbach. Ittenbach himself plays Peter, an unemployed junkie scumbag, who is forced to babysit his little sister against his own wishes. To cope with the situation, he treats himself to a fat load of smack. Then he decides to read his sister a few bedtime stories - filled with the most sickening gore and depravity imaginable. The stories are: Julia's love: Cliff Parker has everything. He's handsome, funny, smart and sophisticated. He's also a paranoid schizophrenic serial killer on the run from a nearby mental institution. Julia figures this out on their date, but also leaves her wallet on the seat of his car. The rest of the story follows Cliff as he wreaks bloody vengeance on Julia and her family. The Purity: A small town in 1950's Germany is rocked by a series of murders and rapes. Suspicions all lie on the village idiot Justuz, and the only man who will defend him is the local priest - who also happens to be the man responsible. Contains an infamous depiction of a man being tortured in hell, including being split in two lengthwise like a wishbone.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

"The Purity" has one, as well. Ralf is dead and the killings have stopped, Justuz has avenged himself from beyond the grave and — at least according to Ralf — will be spared the torments of Hell and will instead ascend to Lucifer's "heavenly kingdom". On the other hand, he's still dead, and the villagers still believe he was the killer.

Bittersweet Ending: "Julia's Love", which is a borderline Downer Ending. Julia is saved when a cop kills Cliff, but her entire family has been killed and she's very likely to be scarred for life.

Badass Longcoat: Cliff Parker wears one, and with good reason: he needs to hide his machete somewhere.

Bad Habits: Ralf, the priest in "The Purity". Setting aside the fact that he's a murderer and rapist, he's also a devil worshipper. So yeah, he's as poor a representation of the cloth as one could possibly be.
