Horror Hangover

Magic Priests?!


Listen Later

This week on the Horror Hangover Show, Cass and Ryan break down the history of magic priests in possession-led horror films! We discuss the early origins of this trope, why it endures, & what else we hope to see from the haunting subgenre of demonic possession in the future. We cover what worked (priest-wise) in THE EXORCIST & give TWO indie darlings this week that brings the trope to a new level -- THE DIVINE FURY, & THE OLD WAYS.
