Behind Ed & Lorraine Warren: How the "Demonologists" Weaponized Fear (and Witchcraft)

We’re putting the folklore of Ed and Lorraine Warren under a microscope in this episode. Madison leads a fiery deep dive while Molly brings outside research and big questions.

We unpack how the Warrens’ self-made legend from “demonologists” to pop-culture darlings via The Conjuring collides with allegations, contradictions, and media spin. Plus we take a deep look into the reasoning why Matt Rife bought the Annabelle house and his new brand deal campaign with E.L.F Cosmetics.
