Posies is a short horror film about a woman attempting to hide her transformation into a monster by placing flowers under her skin. It might not sound tantalizing at first blush, but let me assure you it's one of the most beautiful and haunting horror movies --short or long-- that I've ever seen. #superb #horror That's why I was a bit nervous talking to the directors of Posies, Katherine Fisher and R.H. Stavis (who also wrote it). It wasn't one of my best interviews. Maybe one of my most awkward. Nerves took hold because I was fangirling. These two are crazy creative and have huge things ahead of them. In fact, Posies is just a first step. Stavis has a series coming out soon on FX based on her memoir, Sister of Darkness: The Chronicles of a Modern Exorcist. (In addition to being a writer and director, she's also an exorcist!) We'll also be able to watch her on Tubi on October 31 for Halloween! And both Stavis and Fisher are hard at work to produce their feature, Wires, which Posies is based on. They explain it all --and introduce themselves when (a) I failed to and (b) flubbed it all up --in this interview. I was a bit of a mess, but they couldn't have been lovelier. Great things are ahead for them. I feel it in my bones. Be sure to seek out Posies to watch too...and then tell everyone you know about it. Hype gets results and these two are worth hyping!

Following from the previous episode, we dive into the real-life inspiration behind The Exorcist, and remind you that there was kind of a big deal in the 80s and 90s called the Satanic Panic. We talk about playing Led Zeppelin tapes backwards and washing your clothes in holy water. We end with some cautionary tales and my own personal experiences in the Charismatic Catholic church and Evangelical missions.

Kicking of a multi-part series on Demons and Angels, here we explore the concept of exorcism in the Catholic and Evangelical frameworks. We survey some early Church history and discover some of the attitudes and assumptions surrounding exorcism in those early centuries following Christ, and we conclude with the story of Anneliese Michel, which is loosely the basis of the movie The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
