Since the rise of the cinematic horror genre, the way people view the occult has drastically shifted. The 1968 film Rosemary’s Baby introduced the idea that a Satanist may not be the misunderstood teenager lurking under bleachers, but rather your own friends, neighbors, or colleagues. A slew of demonic horror movies followed Rosemary’s Baby, and with them the fear that demonic entities waited around every corner. From the news media to film, there has been widespread misinformation regarding the practice of Catholic exorcisms, the presence of Satan in the modern world, and the nature of Hell itself. As evidenced in the case of Latoya Ammons and her children, the influence of demonic exorcism extends well beyond the screen.
