The Conjuring: Snake Oil and Séances - Xenomania 36

The Conjuring may be one of modern horror’s biggest franchises, but the truth behind it is far murkier than the movies suggest. This week, Jon takes aim at Ed and Lorraine Warren, exposing how the so-called “paranormal experts” built their fame on shaky foundations, exploiting grief, fear, and faith with snake oil salesmanship dressed up as spiritual warfare. Ryan and Kearns join in to pull apart the myth from the marketing, asking if the Warrens were genuine believers, clever con artists, or something more unsettling still. Expect eerie laughs, sobering truths, and a haunting reminder that sometimes the scariest thing isn’t the demon in the basement—it’s the people selling tickets to see it.
