This is the final episode in our The Fact & Fiction in The Conjuring Series, and we’re closing it out with the first and only human villain in the franchise so far, The Occultist Isla Kastner. Join us to uncover some of the endless Easter eggs in The Devil Made Me Do It and discuss some of the most famous cults, anti-cult movements, and the Satanic Panic hysteria of the 80s and 90s, as we discover the methods behind the madness of Isla Kastner.
