What this book explores
Traces a feedback loop in which horror films borrow religious ideas and then reshape religious belief, reported experience, and public fear about demons and exorcism.
Good starting place if…
You want to examine how entertainment, testimony, moral panic, and spiritual expectation can reinforce one another.
Know before you begin…
This is cultural history, not a verdict on every spiritual claim. It includes horror, abuse, conspiracy, and Satanic-panic material.
