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!
Got blasphemous thoughts, hot takes, or questions we should ruin with research? Email us: [email protected]
More Sin, Less Filter – Support us and score bonus episodes, bloopers, and Judas’ Chaos Machine audiobook series. Satan approves. Join here.

“The Exorcist didn’t just scare people—it converted them.”

Sauces: Sources used for every Satan Is My Superhero episode are plentiful—ask nicely and we’ll send the scrolls.
