Halloween Special! Let's talk about demonologists!

It's our 2nd annual Halloween special episode!!! And that's doubly funny because Mike hates Halloween. For this year's special we take on TWO documentaries (and kind of a third one too) about Ed and Lorraine Warren, 20th century demon and ghost hunters extraordinaire. We discuss The Devil on Trial (Netflix 2023) and Devil’s Road: The True Story of Ed and Lorraine Warren (HBO Max, 2020). There's also a special cameo by the 2023 Canadian documentary about the Satanic Panic, Satan Wants You. But we also talk about Ghostbusters, why Mike doesn't do horror and why Merinda does, why we need horror stories and tales about demons, and Mike lore about genre-hopping Christian musician Carman. It's a spooky episode of Cult Favorite that goes great with candy corn!
