In this episode, we are joined by special guest, Steph, who watched The Exorcist with us and gave us some insight on the horrors of not only demonic possession, but also not being able to protect your children. We compare the novel by William Peter Blatty to the movie and discuss the true events it was based upon.

Blatty, William Peter. The Exorcist.
In this episode, we unfortunately watched The Vatican Tapes which was definitely not what we thought it was. What was intended to be in found footage format, is a movie with bad transitions and plot holes. We discuss The Vatican and their exorcism protocol and what our strategy would be when faced with the AntiChrist.
In this episode, we are joined by one of our very first patrons, Seneca! We watched The Last Exorcism and discuss the unconventional found footage format. We talk real life exorcisms and the Kings of Hell that are involved.

In this episode, Megan and Bree watch the first movie in The Conjuring series and compare it to the true story. It seemed not too much had been altered from the alleged events, which makes the movie more terrifying. Although we remembered it being scarier than it actually was, there were definitely some great jump scares.
