Welcome back to season 2 episode 2 of Bite, the limited run series that reanimates in October to cover all things horror. In this chapter, JJ delves into a recent horror anime, what makes it special (especially given its surface level presentation), and how it explores some of the general perceptions of both yurei (ghosts) and the divine in Japanese culture.Get access to all of Southern Demonology's links at https://www.southerndemonology.com or at https://linktr.ee/southerndemonology Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/southerndemonology.

Horror movies are hard enough to get right. However, when the producers focus on only one aspect and leave the rest horribly underdeveloped, then what's made is a gimmick film. Or perhaps a little more elegantly put, a macguffin movie. In this much longer than normal SD Bite!, JJ looks at two very popular horror movies and why they are exactly gimmick films.

Welcome to the final installment of season 3! There's a few treats awaiting! First is the continuation of the interview with the exorcist duo the Birdsongs. They go over the hardest case Father Birdsong has dealt with in his time in the ministry, that of Paula who goes around with a bag of dolls. He also goes into detail of some of the demons that have surfaced during this investigation, one of which is of course our good friend Lilith.This is then followed up with a review and thoughts on perhaps the most impactful film I have ever seen on the subject of demonic possession, and that is not a claim that I make lightly. Will you also see perhaps a glimmer of what season 4 will bring? Only listening may reveal the truth!JJ will be the guest on Vestiges after Dark on Tuesday, August 29th at 8PM Eastern/7PM Central.

Come on a journey through time as I take a look at the Dead Sea Scrolls, their importance, the effect they had on academia as a whole, and their overall importance. I then embark on an analysis of my favorite scroll, 4Q510-11, and how it helps determine not just the mindset of the Essenes but also perhaps the Second Temple period itself.

Welcome to the first interview of season 3!

In this episode, we begin with a review of the movie Skinamarink from Shudder, trace the decline of the streaming service's originals, and cross-apply that to the current state of generative AI and how all of that is a race to the bottom unfortunately.

As a thank you to Apple Podcast and Patreon subscribers, Southern Demonology will be producing new monthly episodes. The content will be a little different as these bonus episodes will focus on anime and doramas (non-animated). As a preview of that type of content, this episode is all about what's best for the mostly closed out winter anime season.

I have a hot take on demonology as a field. It may be unpopular, especially with so many books out there that claim to provide ALL the knowledge about the hierarchy of hell and what foods and leisure activities demons enjoy, but I make my argument using the limitations on human knowledge of the preternatural, historical anachronisms, and the troubles just demonic names pose to make my case. I also delve a little into the power of crossroads and Sylvester Sty-lone.

I've explained before how the research behind the movie The Prophecy propelled me into hunting down the origins of the angelic script it depicted. However, did the cheap knock-off sequels to this movie get anything right at all? To answer, we delve into the actual text of 1 Enoch and along the way find out not only how dangerous the Nephilim are to theology but how they may even form the modern template for the undead. Highlander may also be mentioned.Get access to all of Southern Demonology's links at https://linktr.ee/southerndemonology Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/southerndemonology.

Welcome back to the final part of our Halloween conversation with the amazing Christy where she shares two final spooky tales, the first involving a cursed object that's been in her family's possession since the 1950s and the second involving an ancestor from the Salem Witch Trials. Along the way we also discuss other cursed objects such as Robert the doll, so be sure to don't miss it!For the cursed object, Christy provided several links which I have included below. The second requires either a subscription or a free trial, but I wanted to include it for completeness.http://strangeco.blogspot.com/2018/12/the-haunted-christmas-quilt.htmlhttps://www.newspapers.com/newspage/248095647/Get access to all of Southern Demonology's links at https://linktr.ee/southerndemonology Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/southerndemonology.

The long wait is over, and Halloween is once again upon us! To commemorate, I have invited Christy--the phenomenally awesome academic who taught us all about Aramaic Incantation Bowls in Episodes 38 & 39 and one of my besties from online--to share some of her favorite true ghost stories. We also delve a good bit into lucid dreaming and the nature of spirits, so only the first tale is covered in this episode. Stay tuned for next week for the remaining two!I joined up for the second Halloween in a row with the awesome folks over at Your Worst Friend podcast to talk all about horror movies.
