Screams and Queens

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, we watched one of Bree's favorites, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, and compare it to the true events that inspired it. We discuss how to apply for an exorcism and what the signs are to be considered, and what we might do if we were in Emily Rose's shoes.

In this episode, we watched the new movie, The Conjuring 3: The Devil Made Me Do It, and compare it to the true case from 1981. We talk about possession and exorcisms, the signs of being possessed, and what to do if you're cursed yourself.

In this episode, we discuss the second Conjuring movie in the series and compare it to the real life (or not so real life) events of the Enfield Haunting in London. We talk about demons versus poltergeists and give some advice for how to avoid them.

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.
