EVIO Creative

Welcome to The Devil Within, the podcast that explores true stories of demonic possession and the supernatural. With new episodes every week and new, immersive seasons every year, The Devil Within begins where the answers run out… and the truth, no matter how extraordinary, will be brought into the light. From ancient spirits to modern day ghost stories… demonic possession to creatures of legend. For all things unexplainable - and more than few that are better left alone - The Devil Within has you covered.

BINGE THE FIRST THREE SEASONS NOW!
Season 1: The Jersey Devil - The brutal slaying of BETTY ANN SULLIVAN shocked the small town of Jefferson Township, New Jersey. The violence of that evening shocked the nation for the perpetrator... was her own son, a boy of fourteen who would take his own life only hours later. What the investigation revealed left a community in tatters, unwilling to believe the evil that had befallen them.
Season 2: The Demons of Yorkshire - In 1974 after experiencing financial hardship, Michael Taylor joined a local church in the rolling hills of Northern England. After falling in love with a young, beautiful preacher, Michael’s personality began to change. The mild-mannered family man became abusive and unhinged. His new church believed he was possessed by no fewer than 48 demons and would require an exorcism to save his soul and protect his family from evil. But the supposed remedy would come at a very steep price... 
Season 3: A Season in Hell - In the late 1970's New York City had it all: Hip Hop, Punk Rock... and the Son of Sam. The third season of The Devil Within takes listeners into the belly of the beast and explores the wicked origins, reign of terror and ultimate capture of one of the most feared serial killers in history. With exclusive interviews from journalists, FBI agents, historians and mental health experts this season promises to be the most comprehensive - and most terrifying - account of how one man brought New York City to a standstill.

The Devil Within

⛪ Blood and Papal Gold – Part One
Presented by the Evio Creative Podcast Network
Before the Vatican was marble and gold… before the Church had armies and crowns… there was Rome — a ruin with a heartbeat.
In this first half of The Keys of Blood: The Assassination of Pope John VIII, we enter the smoke and silence of the ninth century — a time when popes ruled by letter instead of sword, when faith was a fragile currency, and when the empire that once conquered the world had been reduced to a city clinging to its own memory.
⚜️ Episode I: The Broken Empire
Europe is in fragments. Charlemagne’s heirs bicker over borders while Viking and Saracen raiders carve the continent apart. Into this chaos steps Pope John VIII, a scholar forced into kingship. His Rome is a relic surrounded by wolves, and his only weapon is diplomacy — or what’s left of it. But when he dares to pay tribute to Saracen pirates to spare the city, his mercy is mistaken for weakness, and whispers of betrayal begin to echo through the marble halls of the Lateran.
⚓ Episode II: The Pope and the Pirates
As the raiders tighten their grip, John is forced to choose between faith and survival. His decision to ransom Rome with gold saves lives but shatters his reputation. The Frankish kings mock him; the clergy call him coward; the nobles begin to conspire. When he crowns Charles the Bald as Holy Roman Emperor, hoping for salvation, the emperor dies within months — leaving the papacy more isolated than ever. Rome’s enemies circle closer, and John’s greatest fear becomes clear: the Church will not fall to pagans, but to its own believers.
👑 Episode III: The Emperor’s Shadow
In this final chapter of Part One, the illusion of empire collapses for good. As Saracens burn the coasts and noble families tear Rome apart from within, Pope John VIII fights a losing battle to keep faith alive in a city that no longer believes. He writes, he pleads, he endures. Yet within the candlelit halls of the Lateran, betrayal is already gathering — not in the form of armies, but of whispers. The hammer that will one day kill him has not yet fallen, but its echo is already in the air.

🕯️ What to Expect
A cinematic historical narrative written in the immersive, literary tone of The Ides of April, exploring:
 • The fall of Charlemagne’s empire and the rise of feudal chaos
 • The paradox of a pope who bought peace with gold
 • How faith, politics, and paranoia became indistinguishable
 • The first cracks in the illusion of papal invincibility

Evio Presents: ⛪ Blood and Papal Gold – Part One

🕯️ The Devil Within — A Prayer in Spring: REDUX (Part One)

Presented by the Evio Creative Podcast Network

This week, The Devil Within reaches the closing chapter of its season one re-release in support of the upcoming MGM+ docuseries Let the Devil In.

In A Prayer in Spring: REDUX (Part One), Branden reflects on the final full episode of the original series — an episode that blends poetry, tragedy, and geography into a meditation on grief and faith in Jefferson Township.

🎙️ Poetry Corner with Branden: “A Prayer in Spring” by Robert Frost

The episode begins where it all began — with a poem.

Robert Frost’s “A Prayer in Spring” becomes the anchor for a discussion of gratitude, impermanence, and surrender — how Frost’s plea to “keep us here, all simply, in the springing of the year” mirrors the Sullivans’ own brief, fragile peace before tragedy struck.

Branden unpacks Frost’s lesser-known work and its place within the poet’s canon, contrasting its gentle acceptance with the melancholy of “Stopping by Woods,” “The Road Not Taken,” and “Nothing Gold Can Stay.”

“It’s not joy Frost struggles with — it’s permission. Permission to enjoy something beautiful without waiting for it to end.”

109 Redux

🌲 The Newark Watershed

The episode then turns to the land itself.

Branden explores the Newark Watershed, a vast system of reservoirs and protected forest that spans 35,000 acres across Sussex, Morris, and Passaic counties — explaining how the isolation of this region helped shape the haunting stillness that defines northern New Jersey.

“When people think of New Jersey and the only images conjured are Newark or Atlantic City… get up north and you’ll see why it’s called The Garden State.”

109 Redux

🕯️ The Sullivan Family’s Unfinished Story

Finally, the episode revisits the Sullivan family’s grim aftermath.

Years after Tommy Sullivan’s death, tragedy continued to follow.

 • His brother Brian died by suicide just over a decade later.

 • His aunt, Betty Ann’s sister, left behind her entire life after seeing the crime scene photos — and spent the next twenty years living as a cloistered nun.

Branden recounts how investigators later tracked down members of the family and uncovered new, disturbing details about Tom Sullivan Sr., whose life and secrets take center stage in next week’s Part Two.

“It seems the family just can’t escape tragedy — like it was written in blood in some cosmic contract that began that night.”

109 Redux

🔥 Next Time

Part Two reveals what became of Tom Sullivan Sr. — the man at the heart of it all — and why his story changes everything you thought you knew about The Devil Within.

A Prayer in Spring: REDUX - Part One

🎙️ The Devil’s Ledger — Week of October 27th

Presented by the Evio Creative Podcast Network

This week, The Devil’s Ledger dives headfirst into Halloween season with one of the eeriest true stories ever told — the tragic case of The Hanging Decoration.

🕯️ The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week:

A Delaware neighborhood wakes up the morning after Halloween to find what they think is a particularly realistic decoration hanging from a tree. It isn’t.

In this haunting story from 2005, Branden explores how real horror can hide in plain sight — and what it says about our need to keep death at a safe distance, especially on the one night we pretend to welcome it.

🔥 This Week Across the Evio Creative Network

 • The Devil Within — The re-release of Season One concludes with Episode Nine: A Prayer in Spring. Branden takes a deeply personal journey through the aftermath of the Tommy Sullivan murder-suicide, reflecting on faith, forgiveness, and how Jefferson Township has changed in the decades since that night.

 • The Ides of April — Alec Baldwin narrates the brand-new two-part story “The Assassination of Pope John VIII.” A pope murdered by his own court in 882 A.D. — who killed him, why, and how that single act reshaped both the Catholic Church and all of Europe.

 • Taboo Treasures — Bruce Witkin and Jeff Levine explore “Halloween in Hollywood.” The origins of the slasher genre, the famous actors who got their start in horror films, and a deep dive into John Carpenter’s classic Halloween.

 • Criminal Mischief — Carolyn Ossorio delivers a chilling Halloween homage to The Amityville Horror House. The 1974 murder of six family members, and the haunting that drove the Lutz family out just 28 days later.

🎥 This Week in Horror & Suspense

On Netflix, Taken in Plain Sight has climbed to #2 — a true-crime documentary that’s not technically horror, but every parent’s worst nightmare: a story of abduction, manipulation, and the evil that lives next door.

And premiering On Demand this week — Bitter Taste, a neo-gothic slasher with an occult twist. When a former athlete is trapped in the clutches of an undead countess and her cursed fellowship, she must rely on her instincts — and an unlikely alliance with a cynical fisherman and a grumpy cop — to survive a cannibalistic manhunt.

The Devil’s Ledger — Week of October 27th

👹 The Devil Within — Nothing Gold Can Stay: REDUX

Robert Frost wrote that “Nothing gold can stay.”

It’s only eight lines long, but inside those lines is a lifetime: birth, decline, grief, and the eternal fall from innocence.

In this special Redux edition, I break down Frost’s masterpiece—its rhythm, its ache, and the hidden theology within the line “So Eden sank to grief.” Behind that quiet phrasing lies the ancient idea of the Felix Culpa—the fortunate fall, the notion that through tragedy comes salvation.

We’ll also revisit how this fragile little poem found new life on screen in The Outsiders, becoming a cinematic elegy for youth, decay, and the inevitable end of innocence.

And then, the darkness returns.

Because in the final days before the Clinton Road murder-suicide, Tommy Sullivan claimed he saw something staring back at him from the mirror. Something that wasn’t him.

When the Catholic Church learned of what Tommy described, the fear was immediate—and absolute.

Nothing Gold Can Stay: REDUX - Part One

👹 The Devil Within — Nothing Gold Can Stay: REDUX - Part II
In the final hours of his life, Tommy Sullivan was surrounded by violence, confusion, and a darkness that no one fully understood.
This episode revisits those final moments — the ones we think we know — and looks closer. Through timelines, testimony, and small, nearly invisible details, we explore a haunting possibility:
that Tommy wasn’t consumed by evil… but fighting it.
What if, in his final act, Tommy was trying to save the lives of his father and brother — not take them?
Nothing Gold Can Stay: REDUX, Part II examines the blurred line between madness and martyrdom, and how the attempt to understand what happened that night may say more about us than about him.

Nothing Gold Can Stay: REDUX - Part II

🩸 THE DEVIL’S LEDGER — Week of October 20, 2025

This week across the Evio Creative network, we’re crossing timelines, centuries, and even the strange borders between the living and the dead.

🔥 The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week

Story: The Wheeze and the Moam

From the woods of northern New Jersey comes a local legend that’s never quite gone quiet. A strange sound, a child’s made-up word, and something in the trees that still breathes when the wind dies. Is it a haunting? A warning? Or something else entirely?

🎧 Listen now on The Devil’s Ledger wherever you get your podcasts.

👹 The Devil Within — “Nothing Gold Can Stay: Redux”

The haunting story of Tommy Sullivan comes to its final, chilling close. We revisit his writings, the artist’s perfection of another Frost masterpiece, and the creeping panic that spread through the Catholic Church when his private notes were revealed.

🔥 Stream The Devil Within on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or at eviocreative.com.

🏺 Taboo Treasures — “All Hallows Past”

The Halloween series continues: from the ancient world to the modern age, Taboo Treasures unearths real historical events that happened on October 31st—moments where the veil between the sacred and the profane was just a little too thin.

💀 Follow @taboo_treasures on Instagram and catch every spine-tingling episode wherever you listen.

⚔️ The Ides of April — “Franz Ferdinand: The End of Empires”

The series concludes with the assassination that ignited the world’s first great war. The shots in Sarajevo echo through history, leading to four years of horror, revolution, and the collapse of everything Europe thought it knew.

THE DEVIL’S LEDGER — Week of October 20, 2025

🎙️ The Devil Within — “Acquainted With the Night: REDUX — Part Two”

In this companion to last week’s episode, host Branden Morgan continues the exploration of Robert Frost’s haunting poem and its connections to the dark philosophies that shaped the life — and legacy — of Tommy Sullivan. This week, we turn our focus to The Rule of Three: an ancient principle that threads its way through Pagan ritual, Renaissance magic, and even the modern worlds of advertising, literature, and comedy writing.

Why do ideas, stories, and symbols presented in threes hold such uncanny power over us? From Wiccan law to corporate slogans, from fairy tales to the structure of a perfect punchline, the Rule of Three may be the oldest spell we still unconsciously cast.

Along the way, Branden examines how this pattern of repetition and consequence reemerges in Sullivan’s story — and why the “thrice-fold return” might be more than metaphor.

🔥 In This Episode

 • The Pagan origins of the Rule of Three and its relationship to early moral law.

 • How the concept evolved through Christian mysticism, medieval witchcraft, and Golden Dawn occultism.

 • Why modern culture—from marketing campaigns to sitcoms—still relies on the same timeless rhythm.

 • How it all ties back to Tommy Sullivan, The Devil Within, and the shadow he left behind.

Acquainted With the Night: REDUX - Part Two

🎙️ The Devil Within

REDUX: Acquainted With the Night

 Frost’s darkness. Cross’s missing crates. And the terrible book that tied them together.

In this REDUX edition of The Devil Within, Branden Morgan revisits Acquainted With the Night — not just as a poem, but as a confession written in verse. Robert Frost’s descent through loneliness and despair mirrors Tommy Sullivan’s own walk into darkness — one lit not by the moon, but by the flicker of ritual fire.

This episode breaks down the layered meaning of Frost’s most haunting work, tracing its themes of isolation, inevitability, and the silent toll of the unknown. Then we go deeper — exploring what a grimoire truly is, how it bridges myth and madness, and how Tommy’s own “book of shadows” became both diary and damnation.

Finally, we turn to one of the lingering mysteries of the Sullivan case: the missing crates of Richard Cross’s belongings— books, scrolls, and artifacts said to have vanished after his death. What was inside them? And what did Tommy find when he began looking?

Some roads shouldn’t be walked alone. And some nights refuse to end.

Acquainted With the Night: REDUX - Part One

🎙️ The Ides of April The Shot Heard Around the World — Part I

Chapters 1–3: “The Heir of an Empire,” “A City on Edge,” “Europe in Tinder”

He was born to rule an empire he never truly believed in.Archduke Franz Ferdinand — heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, reformer, romantic, and the man whose death would ignite the modern age.

In this sweeping first part of The Shot Heard Around the World, Branden Morgan traces the improbable life of the Archduke, the fragile peace of Sarajevo, and the continent teetering on the edge of disaster. From his forbidden marriage to Sophie Chotek to the volatile web of alliances that bound Europe in mutual paranoia, this is the story of how one city — and one bullet — became the hinge upon which the twentieth century turned.

Through vivid storytelling and sharp historical insight, The Ides of April brings to life the world that existed just before the fall — a world too confident to imagine it could end.

🎧 Featuring:

 
The rise and decay of the Austro-Hungarian Empire

 
The secret societies plotting revolution in the Balkans

 
The chain of alliances that made peace impossible

💥 The Ides of April — where history’s turning points sound eerily familiar.
