Remember when priests became celebrities, horror became religion, and America decided to collectively believe Satan was real? Yeah—that was The Exorcist’s fault.
Join us as we dig into the 1940s “possession” hoax that inspired the film, the novelist who sold it as truth, and the church that cashed in on the chaos.
This is how one movie turned fear into faith—and jump-started fifty years of Satanic Panic!
