Universal Studios is celebrating witchcraft. People who celebrate Halloween love demons. Those are just a few of the claims from pastors and evangelical influencers flooding social media this Halloween season, and in this episode of the Preacher Boys Podcast, I react to the wildest ones.As a former fundamentalist and horror fan, I break down the Christian panic over Halloween, from Chipotle’s Ouija board margarita ad to Red Bull’s “demonic” commercial, Universal Horror Nights, Spirit Halloween, and claims that horror movies are portals to the demonic realm. We look at why so many evangelical influencers are afraid of the horror genre, why the “veil is thin on Halloween” idea is a pagan Celtic belief and not a biblical one, and what fundamentalist culture gets wrong about media literacy.✖️✖️✖️CONNECT WITH THE SHOW:preacherboyspodcast.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@PreacherBoyshttps://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/https://twitter.com/preacherboysdochttps://www.instagram.com/preacherboyspodhttps://www.tiktok.com/@preacherboyspodTo connect with a community that shares the Preacher Boys Podcast's mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188/✖️✖️✖️The content presented in this video is for informational and educational purposes only.
