Last episode we discussed The Exorcist, so this time we're taking a closer look its impact on our culture and religious beliefs as explored in The Exorcist Effect by Eric Harrelson and our guest Joseph Laycock. Laycock is an associate professor of religious studies at Texas State University. He holds a MTS from Harvard Divinity School and a PhD from Boston University and has written several books on new religious movements and American religious history. Much of his work explores how pop culture and religion collide, and The Exorcist Effect looks at the ongoing relationship between horror movies and Western religious culture, with a focus on the period from 1968 to the modern day. He joins Kelly and John to talk about how and why The Exorcist changed the Catholic (and broadly religious) imagination, and why so many moral panic stem from people who can't distinguish movies from real life. Joe is on Bluesky @josephlaycock

Some call it “spiritual warfare.” We call it centuries of trauma reenactments performed by bad cosplayers with holy water. The catholic church has been staging exorcisms since 1614 — turning mental illness, grief, and hysteria into holy horror shows for the masses. In this episode, we dig into the church's obsession with exorcism, from Emma Schmidt and Roland Doe to Clara Germana Cele — the so-called “true stories” that inspired The Exorcist. We unravel how priests, nuns, and the Vatican mistook trauma for demons, weaponized fear for faith, and built a billion-dollar horror franchise in the process.  You'll learn about:The Vatican's exorcism playbook (and its surprisingly recent “Don't Touch the Children” rule)How Catholic exorcisms blurred the line between ritual and abuseThe twisted legacy of William Peter Blatty's The ExorcistThe International Association of Exorcists (yes, that's a real thing)

We return to our rundown of Flash Gordon, just as Flash and Prince Barin are being taken to the Hawkmen's planet to fight to the death!Flash Gordon was directed by Mike Hodges, the British filmmaker behind Get Carter and Pulp, and produced by the legendary Dino De Laurentiis. Based on the King Features comic strip created by Alex Raymond, the film stars Sam J. Jones as the all-American hero Flash, Melody Anderson as Dale Arden, Ornella Muti as the dangerous Princess Aura, Max von Sydow as Ming the Merciless, and Topol as the eccentric scientist Dr. Hans Zarkov. The supporting cast includes Timothy Dalton, Brian Blessed, Peter Wyngarde, Peter Duncan and John Hallam — a line-up that reads like a who's who of cult cinema.We dig into the incredible production history of Flash Gordon, from De Laurentiis' first attempts in the 1960s to his decision to turn down George Lucas — a choice that helped inspire Star Wars. The film's troubled development included a scrapped version by Nicolas Roeg, with Debbie Harry once rumoured to play Princess Aura. Eventually, Hodges took the reins, working from a screenplay by Lorenzo Semple Jr., the same writer who brought Batman's colourful POW! ZAP! style to TV in the 1960s. That influence is clear throughout, giving Flash Gordon its unmistakable comic-book tone.The film was shot mainly at Elstree and Shepperton Studios, pushing British set design and visual effects to the limit. For the famous Hawkmen sequence, the crew built a sixty-foot-high, hundred-foot-wide blue screen powered by a million watts of light. The result is one of the most gloriously excessive moments in sci-fi history — a flying army, Brian Blessed shouting “Gordon's alive!” and Queen blasting through the speakers.Speaking of Queen, we explore how their soundtrack revolutionised film music, paving the way for rock bands to score major blockbusters. The combination of Freddie Mercury's operatic flair and Howard Blake's orchestral compositions gave Flash Gordon a sonic identity that still feels fresh today.We also look at the film's eclectic cast. Sam J. Jones' brief but memorable career, Melody Anderson's move from acting to social work, and Ornella Muti's headline-grabbing life and legal troubles. There's Max von Sydow's path from The Seventh Seal to The Exorcist and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Topol's secret links to Mossad, Timothy Dalton's long and winding journey to becoming James Bond, and Peter Wyngarde's transformation from Department S to the gold-masked villain Klytus.And, of course, the mighty Brian Blessed — mountaineer, Shakespearean thunder-god, near-astronaut, and national treasure. From I, Claudius to Doctor Who, Cats, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, and beyond, he's one of Britain's most extraordinary performers.In this episode, we unpack the layers of Flash Gordon as both cult classic and chaotic masterpiece: how its bright visuals masked a difficult shoot, how its camp sensibility influenced generations of filmmakers, and why it remains a cornerstone of British sci-fi fandom. Whether you're here for trivia, nostalgia, or the Queen soundtrack alone, this is one of our most detailed episodes yet — and we'll be back next week with part two to finish the adventure.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

The 2nd episode in a series of episodes about 'The Exorcist' is inspired by my rewatch of the film.  My original plan: to meticulously dissect each of three sections of the film in three subsequent episodes.  My new plan? To get this episode filled with my enthusiastic and emotional reactions out to you ASAP.  And to follow with two subsequent episodes if the interest (and downloads) are there.   The best way to listen to the four-part Exorcist episodes: Listen to Part 1: Origins BEFORE re-watching or watching the film. Listen to Part 2: The Rewatch AFTER re-watching or watching the film. Listen to Parts 3 and 4 as commentary tracks WHILE watching the film again after all the above.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! What happens when your life begins with a near-death experience—and the strange never stops? For Sister Keeyah Lynn Frances, the supernatural has always been part of her reality. As a child, her “imaginary friend” wasn't imaginary at all, and the connection she shared with the unseen world soon spiraled into something darker — a demonic infestation inside her own home. But where fear once ruled, faith eventually took root. Now a Catholic Mystic and Reiki Master, Sister Keeyah channels her experiences into helping others confront what lurks in the shadows. She reveals how a lifetime of haunting led her to the Holy Order of St. Michael the Archangel and the NESPR Order of Exorcists. This is not just a story of survival — it's a story of spiritual warfare, redemption, and the power of light against the darkest forces.

We pull the curtain on what happens when iconic slashers, demons, and haunted houses try to survive network constraints, syndication deals, and the long tail of serialized storytelling. From cursed antiques pitched as Friday the 13th to Freddy Krueger moonlighting as a wisecracking host, we map the distance between brand recognition and actual fear.We start with the bait-and-switches: Friday The 13th: The Series builds a curiosities procedural with zero Jason; Freddy's Nightmares promises lore, then delivers scattered anthology entries dulled by shoestring budgets; Poltergeist: The Legacy trades domestic dread for secret-society casework. Then we pivot to the exceptions that actually land. The Exorcist honors the 1973 classic with a tense, character-led investigation, only to be tripped by Friday scheduling. Scream shows how one choice—the Ghostface mask—can fracture a fandom, even as later seasons sharpen the writing. Hannibal ascends to high art with operatic psychology and lavish imagery, yet rights and platform mismatches undercut its momentum. And Bates Motel demonstrates the winning formula: focus the lens on character, build pressure season by season, and let the performances carry the myth.Along the way we talk budgets, censorship, licensing, first-run syndication, and the invisible hand of distribution that can doom or save a show. The takeaway is simple: film-to-TV horror works when it protects core iconography, leads with character, and fits the platform's reality; it fails when a famous title is glued to a mismatched premise or neutered by constraints. If you care about how fear translates from a two-hour shock to a multi-season slow burn, this one's for you. Enjoy the ride, then tell us your favorite or most painful adaptation, and don't forget to follow, rate, and share to keep the conversation going.

Sorry this one's a bit late — but to make up for it, we've gone all in with an extra-long episode of General Witchfinders, split into two parts. This week, we take you through the extraordinary, over-the-top world of Flash Gordon (1980) — the space opera superhero film that blended camp comedy, science-fiction spectacle, and Queen's iconic soundtrack into something truly cosmic. The second half of this intergalactic adventure will land next week. Flash Gordon was directed by Mike Hodges, the British filmmaker behind Get Carter and Pulp, and produced by the legendary Dino De Laurentiis. Based on the King Features comic strip created by Alex Raymond, the film stars Sam J. Jones as the all-American hero Flash, Melody Anderson as Dale Arden, Ornella Muti as the dangerous Princess Aura, Max von Sydow as Ming the Merciless, and Topol as the eccentric scientist Dr. Hans Zarkov. The supporting cast includes Timothy Dalton, Brian Blessed, Peter Wyngarde, Peter Duncan and John Hallam — a line-up that reads like a who's who of cult cinema. We dig into the incredible production history of Flash Gordon, from De Laurentiis' first attempts in the 1960s to his decision to turn down George Lucas — a choice that helped inspire Star Wars. The film's troubled development included a scrapped version by Nicolas Roeg, with Debbie Harry once rumoured to play Princess Aura. Eventually, Hodges took the reins, working from a screenplay by Lorenzo Semple Jr., the same writer who brought Batman's colourful POW! ZAP! style to TV in the 1960s. That influence is clear throughout, giving Flash Gordon its unmistakable comic-book tone. The film was shot mainly at Elstree and Shepperton Studios, pushing British set design and visual effects to the limit. For the famous Hawkmen sequence, the crew built a sixty-foot-high, hundred-foot-wide blue screen powered by a million watts of light. The result is one of the most gloriously excessive moments in sci-fi history — a flying army, Brian Blessed shouting “Gordon's alive!” and Queen blasting through the speakers. Speaking of Queen, we explore how their soundtrack revolutionised film music, paving the way for rock bands to score major blockbusters. The combination of Freddie Mercury's operatic flair and Howard Blake's orchestral compositions gave Flash Gordon a sonic identity that still feels fresh today.We also look at the film's eclectic cast. Sam J. Jones' brief but memorable career, Melody Anderson's move from acting to social work, and Ornella Muti's headline-grabbing life and legal troubles. There's Max von Sydow's path from The Seventh Seal to The Exorcist and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Topol's secret links to Mossad, Timothy Dalton's long and winding journey to becoming James Bond, and Peter Wyngarde's transformation from Department S to the gold-masked villain Klytus.And, of course, the mighty Brian Blessed — mountaineer, Shakespearean thunder-god, near-astronaut, and national treasure. From I, Claudius to Doctor Who, Cats, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, and beyond, he's one of Britain's most extraordinary performers. In this episode, we unpack the layers of Flash Gordon as both cult classic and chaotic masterpiece: how its bright visuals masked a difficult shoot, how its camp sensibility influenced generations of filmmakers, and why it remains a cornerstone of British sci-fi fandom.

Long before The Exorcist terrified moviegoers, a quiet middle-class family in 1940s Maryland claimed something unholy had taken hold of their son. In this episode, we revisit the chilling, real-life case that inspired William Peter Blatty's novel — the 1949 exorcism of a boy known only by the pseudonym Roland Doe.We'll retrace the case from its first strange knocks and flying objects in the family's home, to the desperate search for help that led Jesuit priests to St. Louis, Missouri — where one of the most documented exorcisms in modern history unfolded.Drawing on eyewitness diaries, press coverage, and later Church records, we'll separate fact from folklore and ask: what really happened in that room? Was Roland's possession spiritual, psychological, or something science still can't explain?

Hour 2 for 10/30/25 Drew and Elizabeth pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy (1:00). Then, Drew covered the true story behind The Exorcist (27:13) and the new film Triumph Over Evil: Battle of the Exorcists (40:08).

Horror movies are big business: this year, they've accounted for more ticket sales in the U.S. than comedies and dramas combined, bringing in over a billion dollars at the box office. And the phenomenon goes beyond a hunger for cheap thrills and slasher flicks; artists have been using horror to explore deep-seated communal and personal anxieties for centuries. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz, along with the New Yorker culture editor Alex Barasch, use three contemporary entries—“The Babadook,” “Saint Maud,” and “Weapons”—to illustrate the inventive filmmaking and sharp social commentary that have become hallmarks of modern horror. “In the past, the horror would be something external that's disrupting a previously idyllic town or life. Now there's a lot more of: the bad thing has already happened to you,” Barasch says. “You already have a trauma at the beginning of the film—or even before the film begins—and then that is eating you from the inside, or trying to kill you, and you have to grapple with that.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“The Babadook” (2014)“Rosemary's Baby” (1968)“Scream with Me,” by Eleanor Johnson“Hereditary” (2018)“The Substance” (2024)“Saint Maud” (2020)The “Saw” franchise (2004—)“The Exorcist” (1973)“The Case Against the Trauma Plot,” by Parul Sehgal (The New Yorker)“Weapons” (2025)“Barbarian” (2022) “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” (1974)“Get Out” (2017)“Alien” (1979)“The Blair Witch Project” (1999)“Talk to Me” (2022)New episodes drop every Thursday.

Hi friends. Happy Wednesday. More importantly...

A stormy night, a black cat and a mysterious phone call lead the police to an eerie house on a hill containing the bodies of an entire family. All of this, plus a connection to The Exorcist, feels like the setup to a particularly scary movie. Instead, it was a real life tragedy that took place in November 1987. Sources:1.

A new documentary exploring the reality of demonic possession, approved by the International Association of Exorcists, premieres on October 30. Meanwhile, relief efforts are underway after Hurricane Melissa devastates Jamaica. And, Pope Leo has issued his second papal document since his election.

William Friedkin's film The Exorcist terrified audiences upon its release in 1973. They fainted, vomited, and went into hysterics in the theaters. Some overwhelmed viewers left early, only to return the next day, buying another ticket to see if they could make it to the end. But the story behind The Exorcist is just as compelling as the story on the screen. The film's production was marred by tragedy and the unpredictable behavior of its volatile director. The novel the film was based on became a best seller largely by happenstance. And the events that inspired the novel were so horrific and shameful that one man would spend his entire life trying to keep them a secret. To see the full list of contributors, see the show notes at ⁠www.disgracelandpod.com⁠. This episode was originally published on October 28, 2024.

In 1949, 13-year-old 'Roland Doe' became the victim of alleged demonic possession which lead to a harrowing series of exorcisms by a team of catholic priests. Roland's exorcism became the chilling real-life inspiration for famous horror film, The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty.

1973's The Exorcist is a landmark film for any number of reasons (many of which we get into here). It's also a film Kelly had never seen, and a favorite of our friend Matthew J. Cressler. Matt talked to us about Catholic horror and The Exorcist two years ago, but we really wanted to dig into the film in detail, so here we are. The Exorcist is one of many examples of art imitating life imitating art. It both revived a certain kind of supernatural zeal in Catholicism while also exploring an underlying aversion to the same. While it's not always successful and doesn't necessarily hold the same shock value it once did, it also completely reimagined what a horror film could be and provided proof of concept that the public was ready to explore and challenge religious ideas in new and sometime shocking ways. And like a lot of other horror that has captured the cultural imagination throughout history, The Exorcist spilled over into the real world, giving rise to the idea that the film was cursed. And in the next episode, we'll take a closer look at its cultural and religious impact. Matt is on Bluesky @mjcressler

DEFENDANT: Pazuzu EVIDENCE: Manos Special Edition "The Exorcist" Cabernet Sauvignon SCENE OF THE CRIME: Hell, or a staircase near you...  -- Hey friend — welcome to our spooky season send-off. We cracked a bottle of Manos Cabernet, sunk into the couch, and dove headfirst into The Exorcist: the movie, the poster, the Pazuzu lore and all the deliciously grim behind-the-scenes gossip. Expect laughter, wine-fueled tangents, and the kind of true-crime sidetracks that only two slightly lubricated hosts can provide. We unpack why that iconic image of Father Merrin under the lamplight still freaks us out (Magritte vibes included), how the film shaped the possession subgenre, and why Linda Blair and Ellen Burstyn left their mark on horror history. We talk casting choices that almost were (Marlon Brando, Audrey Hepburn?), the haunting performance choices, and how Pazuzu went from ancient Mesopotamia to Hollywood's demon of choice. Of course we get into the messy, human side: on-set injuries, practical effects (the real vomit/peanut-soup moment), Mercedes McCambridge's voicework, and William Friedkin's famously brutal directing methods. Plus the awkward modern problems — streaming paywalls, holiday theater lines, and whether you should ever feed Necco wafers to road-trip company. Sprinkled between film history are the personal stories: first-time screenings, dating decisions made at horror films, and the ridiculous pop-culture riffs that happen when you mix wine with movie analysis. If you love spooky, culty cinema, or just want a cozy chat about why The Exorcist still matters (and why Pazuzu might actually be misunderstood), this episode is for you. Give it a listen, tell us your favorite spooky bottle art, and rank our mini-series with us — we want to know which movie haunted you the most. Cheers (and maybe don't say Pazuzu in a mirror)!

What happens when curiosity crosses a spiritual line? In 1997, Timothy Earl began collecting EVPs out of pure fascination — until something dark followed him home. What began as paranormal research turned into a fight for survival when his wife became the target of a demonic attack. That encounter led Timothy to join the Advent International Order of Exorcists, working directly under Archbishop James Cloud, Chief Exorcist of the Church. Now, after decades of confronting evil head-on, Timothy reveals what it truly takes to perform an exorcism — from the first chilling interview to the final moment when something inhuman finally lets go. He explains how psychologists and clergy sometimes clash, why the Catholic Church hesitated in the 1990s, and what differentiates a tormented soul from a demonic presence. This is not Hollywood. This is real spiritual warfare — and Timothy Earl is one of the few men still standing in the crossfire.
