🎧 THE DEVIL WITHIN: The Matthew Tinling Case — Part Two

Chapters 4–6: The Trial of a Horror Fan · The Violence Doesn’t End Here · The Devil in the Mirror

🔥 Description:

After his arrest, Matthew Tinling faced the Old Bailey — calm, smiling, and proud.

The prosecution called him “a man who mistook fiction for faith.”

The jury called him guilty.

And yet, inside the walls of HMP Belmarsh, the violence didn’t end.

From his obsession with Jigsaw’s “rules” to a string of brutal attacks on fellow inmates, Tinling kept the game alive long after the cameras stopped rolling.

But what if he wasn’t just a monster?

What if he was a mirror — reflecting our own hunger for punishment disguised as justice?

In this concluding episode, we follow Tinling from the courtroom to the cellblock, and finally into the cultural darkness that made him possible.

🎧 THE DEVIL WITHIN: The Matthew Tinling Case — Part One

Chapters 1–3: The Film in His Head · The Game Begins · Lessons in Fire and Blood

💀 Description:

In the spring of 2012, two men shared a small flat in a Maida Vale housing complex meant for people starting over.

One of them — Richard Hamilton — was trying to rebuild after years of addiction.

The other — Matthew Tinling — was watching Saw VI on repeat.

When an argument over £240 in rent spiraled into obsession, Tinling turned the movie’s grotesque morality into real life.

He stabbed Hamilton 17 times, tried to sever his spinal cord to recreate a trap from the film, and set the body on fire to “cleanse the scene.”

Then he calmly withdrew money with Hamilton’s bank card… and bought crack.

In this first episode, follow investigators as they untangle a killing staged like a screenplay — and meet the man who believed he was Jigsaw’s student.

🎙️ The Devil’s Ledger – Week of November 10th

👻 The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week: The Plymouth Ghost Light

Thanksgiving in Plymouth, Massachusetts has always been a blend of myth and memory — pilgrims, parades, and history lessons. But when night falls and fog rolls off Cape Cod Bay, a different tradition stirs.

Witnesses report blue lanterns gliding through the mist each Thanksgiving night, moving silently from the harbor toward Burial Hill — the resting place of the earliest settlers. No footsteps. No voices. Just light drifting across stone and sea.

First reported in 1983, and traced to 19th-century candlelit memorial walks for those who died the first winter, the phenomenon continues — always midnight to one. And the night Harold Baxter passed away, one of the ghostly lights flickered and vanished mid-procession.

History says remembrance.

Folklore says pilgrimage.

Witnesses say they saw the dead go home.

And tonight, they walk with us.

🜏 THE DEVIL WITHIN

The Sean Sellers Story — Part Two

Chapters IV–VI: A Killer Reborn? Or a Script Well-Read?

A prison cell can become a tomb—or a pulpit.

In Part Two, we return to Sellers not as the eyeliner-clad teen who chanted to shadows, but as

the soft-voiced inmate who prayed to Christ and mailed cassette-sermons across America. Sean

Sellers reinvented himself. He claimed salvation. And in doing so, forced a country to ask

whether redemption has limits—or if we only pretend to believe in change until the incarcerated

actually change.

Advocates saw a conversion story. Critics saw a performance. Psychologists saw untreated

trauma. The state saw only the law.

We follow his prison years, his religious awakening, the movement to spare his life, and the

midnight hour in February 1999 when Oklahoma drew the curtain and pushed the chemicals. The

only juvenile killer executed in modern American history — and the case that helped end

juvenile death sentences forever.

Did Sean Sellers find grace? Escape responsibility? Fool the world?

Or did we witness something even harder to accept:

A monster made at sixteen, a man made by solitude, and a soul no court could truly sentence?

📜 Chapters

• Chapter IV — The Confession Tapes

A demon becomes a preacher; redemption meets skepticism.

• Chapter V — The Executioner's Prayer

A quiet last meal, a scripture-laden farewell, and a death chamber lit in fluorescent truth.

• Chapter VI — A Shadow Over Innocence

Legacy, law, and the ghost of a boy standing between morality and policy.

🜏 THE DEVIL WITHIN

The Sean Sellers Story — Part One

Chapters I–III: The Boy Who Called Himself Ezurate

Before the headlines, before the courtroom sermons, before the televised tears, there was only a

boy—born in California, raised across the plains of Oklahoma, and restless inside a world too

small to hold the storm gathering in his head.

In Part One, we walk into the dark heart of the 1980s, when Satanic Panic crackled across

America like static, and fear of the occult seeped into living rooms as fast as MTV and

microwave dinners. But this wasn’t a case of suburban hysteria clashing with teenage rebellion.

This was a child who drifted—from fascination, to obsession, to ritual, and finally into violence.

We follow Sean Sellers from lonely adolescence to Black Mass role-play that stopped being play.

His journals filled with sigils, his world narrowed to demonology and control, until fantasy

crossed the threshold into murder. A convenience-store clerk shot without a word. Parents killed

as they slept. A teenager insisting he was possessed. A justice system unprepared for a killer still

in high school.

This is the first half of a tragedy where belief—real or claimed—becomes blood.

🔪 Chapters

• Chapter I — The Making of a Killer

A childhood marked by drift, a mind marked by fracture, and a boy who began speaking

the language of the occult.

• Chapter II — A Pact in Blood

The murders that shook Oklahoma — and a confession that blurred the line between

belief and convenience.

• Chapter III — The Trial of a Child

Satanism meets jurisprudence in a courtroom that had no script for a teenage “demon

prince.”

🎙️ The Devil’s Ledger - Week of Nov. 3rd.

The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week: The Vanishing Hitchhiker of Route 66

On Thanksgiving night, 1971, a family driving the quiet stretch of Route 66 near Sapulpa, Oklahoma, encountered a barefoot girl in a torn white dress.

She asked for a ride home.

They wrapped her in a blanket.

She vanished before they reached the house.

What followed — a deserted foundation, a decades-old crash record, and sightings that recur every Thanksgiving — has made Mary Ellen one of the most haunting legends on America’s most famous road.

Was she a desperate spirit looking for her family — or just a story truckers tell to stay awake on long night drives?

Tonight, we ride along.

🕯️ The Devil Within — A Prayer in Spring: REDUX (Part Two)

Presented by the Evio Creative Podcast Network

In this second and final part of A Prayer in Spring: REDUX, Branden returns to Jefferson Township — not as an outsider, but as someone who can’t quite let go of the town that shaped his understanding of faith, tragedy, and the supernatural.

It’s a homecoming of sorts: a drive down Berkshire Valley Road, through White Rock, and finally down the infamously haunted stretch of Clinton Road. What begins as a quiet spring morning soon becomes a meditation on evil, loss, and the ways grief can echo through a place long after the headlines fade.

Branden recalls his first visit to Clinton Road in daylight — the peaceful forests and winding asphalt that hide centuries of whispered legends. But when he returns to the Sullivan home, intending to introduce himself to the new owners, he learns the unthinkable: another tragedy has unfolded in the same house where Betty Ann Sullivan was murdered in 1988.

Within a single generation, two families have suffered unspeakable loss under the same roof. Whether coincidence or curse, Jefferson Township seems to exist on a knife’s edge between beauty and darkness.

“It’s the people that leave. The house remains. The town remains. The forest remains. But something in the air here — something unseen — never lets go.”

As the episode closes, Branden reflects on his connection to Jefferson: its resilience, its silence, and the way the town has learned to carry its ghosts quietly.

“Despite the sorrow and horror that fueled my reasons for visiting, I’m reminded that this small town has weathered terrible tragedy — and endured. Maybe that’s the true nature of grace.”

🌲 In This Episode

    •    Branden’s first visit to Clinton Road in daylight

    •    The disturbing discovery of a second tragedy inside the Sullivan home

    •    Reflections on evil, grief, and the possibility of something supernatural

    •    A meditation on Jefferson Township’s strength, faith, and quiet beauty

🕯️ The Devil Within — A Prayer in Spring: REDUX (Part One)

Presented by the Evio Creative Podcast Network

This week, The Devil Within reaches the closing chapter of its season one re-release in support of the upcoming MGM+ docuseries Let the Devil In.

In A Prayer in Spring: REDUX (Part One), Branden reflects on the final full episode of the original series — an episode that blends poetry, tragedy, and geography into a meditation on grief and faith in Jefferson Township.

🎙️ Poetry Corner with Branden: “A Prayer in Spring” by Robert Frost

The episode begins where it all began — with a poem.

Robert Frost’s “A Prayer in Spring” becomes the anchor for a discussion of gratitude, impermanence, and surrender — how Frost’s plea to “keep us here, all simply, in the springing of the year” mirrors the Sullivans’ own brief, fragile peace before tragedy struck.

Branden unpacks Frost’s lesser-known work and its place within the poet’s canon, contrasting its gentle acceptance with the melancholy of “Stopping by Woods,” “The Road Not Taken,” and “Nothing Gold Can Stay.”

“It’s not joy Frost struggles with — it’s permission. Permission to enjoy something beautiful without waiting for it to end.”

109 Redux

🌲 The Newark Watershed

The episode then turns to the land itself.

Branden explores the Newark Watershed, a vast system of reservoirs and protected forest that spans 35,000 acres across Sussex, Morris, and Passaic counties — explaining how the isolation of this region helped shape the haunting stillness that defines northern New Jersey.

“When people think of New Jersey and the only images conjured are Newark or Atlantic City… get up north and you’ll see why it’s called The Garden State.”

109 Redux

🕯️ The Sullivan Family’s Unfinished Story

Finally, the episode revisits the Sullivan family’s grim aftermath.

Years after Tommy Sullivan’s death, tragedy continued to follow.

    •    His brother Brian died by suicide just over a decade later.

    •    His aunt, Betty Ann’s sister, left behind her entire life after seeing the crime scene photos — and spent the next twenty years living as a cloistered nun.

Branden recounts how investigators later tracked down members of the family and uncovered new, disturbing details about Tom Sullivan Sr., whose life and secrets take center stage in next week’s Part Two.

“It seems the family just can’t escape tragedy — like it was written in blood in some cosmic contract that began that night.”

109 Redux

🔥 Next Time

Part Two reveals what became of Tom Sullivan Sr. — the man at the heart of it all — and why his story changes everything you thought you knew about The Devil Within.

🎙️ The Devil’s Ledger — Week of October 27th

Presented by the Evio Creative Podcast Network

This week, The Devil’s Ledger dives headfirst into Halloween season with one of the eeriest true stories ever told — the tragic case of The Hanging Decoration.

🕯️ The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week:

A Delaware neighborhood wakes up the morning after Halloween to find what they think is a particularly realistic decoration hanging from a tree. It isn’t.

In this haunting story from 2005, Branden explores how real horror can hide in plain sight — and what it says about our need to keep death at a safe distance, especially on the one night we pretend to welcome it.

🔥 This Week Across the Evio Creative Network

    •    The Devil Within — The re-release of Season One concludes with Episode Nine: A Prayer in Spring. Branden takes a deeply personal journey through the aftermath of the Tommy Sullivan murder-suicide, reflecting on faith, forgiveness, and how Jefferson Township has changed in the decades since that night.

    •    The Ides of April — Alec Baldwin narrates the brand-new two-part story “The Assassination of Pope John VIII.” A pope murdered by his own court in 882 A.D. — who killed him, why, and how that single act reshaped both the Catholic Church and all of Europe.

    •    Taboo Treasures — Bruce Witkin and Jeff Levine explore “Halloween in Hollywood.” The origins of the slasher genre, the famous actors who got their start in horror films, and a deep dive into John Carpenter’s classic Halloween.

    •    Criminal Mischief — Carolyn Ossorio delivers a chilling Halloween homage to The Amityville Horror House. The 1974 murder of six family members, and the haunting that drove the Lutz family out just 28 days later.

🎥 This Week in Horror & Suspense

On Netflix, Taken in Plain Sight has climbed to #2 — a true-crime documentary that’s not technically horror, but every parent’s worst nightmare: a story of abduction, manipulation, and the evil that lives next door.

And premiering On Demand this week — Bitter Taste, a neo-gothic slasher with an occult twist. When a former athlete is trapped in the clutches of an undead countess and her cursed fellowship, she must rely on her instincts — and an unlikely alliance with a cynical fisherman and a grumpy cop — to survive a cannibalistic manhunt.
