From then on, they turned their back on secular show business to produce a series of shocking, surreal religious pictures, including an unbelievable trio of films for Mississippi Baptist preacher Estus Pirkle – films such as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Burning Hell\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, which made millions, despite never being shown in an actual movie
