Magic Priests?!

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. CLICK IF YOU DARE: Italian Streghe & its belief in the evil eye & more! Sidney Olcott's From the Manger to the Cross Cecil B. Demille's The King of Kings Christian interpretation of exorcism films from Decent Films -- which we don't endorse but inspired some curiosity for us as raised/now-decidedly not Catholics Ry goes IN on Blatty vs. Levin in this horror essay! Cass' review of The Old Ways!
