Candace Cameron Bure is concerned about what could happen if she were to let someone watch a “scary movie” inside her home. According to her, watching a horror movie or playing a certain kind of game might make it easy for something “demonic” to gain access to her house.
On the June 10, 2025, episode of The Candace Cameron Bure podcast, the Full House actress spoke about the risk of “opening up a portal” by watching a scary movie. Apparently, her husband and kids find this fear a bit amusing.
“They make fun of me all the time,” Candace said, referring to her husband, Valeri Bure, and their kids, Natasha, 26, Lev, 25, and Maksim, 23. “But particularly when I’m serious about a spiritual thing happening, and then they’re rolling their eyes at me. Like the portal.”
When Candace says something like, “You’re opening up a portal,” her husband and kids “laugh at” her. Given that she works in the entertainment industry, she fully understands the process that goes into making a movie, but that hasn’t done anything to quell her fears about opening a portal.
“I understand how it all works,” she clarified. “I know that movie has a crew of 200 people, and they’re lighting it, and they’re adding the sound effects, and it’s makeup, and the camera people, and actors; however, there’s still something that can be incredibly demonic while they’ve made it.”
She explained that horror movies are banned in her home because they might open a portal and let something bad into her house. “Like if you’re watching this, or you’re playing this video game, or whatever, that’s a portal that could let stuff inside our home,” she explained. “I don’t even want someone watching a scary movie in our house on the TV, because to me, that’s just a portal.”
During her conversation with Texas-based pastor Jonathan Pokluda, she also brought up the brand Liquid Death, which makes canned water. Based on how she described the product, it doesn’t sound like Candace has any interest in ever trying it.
“That just reminded me like you posted something a while back about Liquid Death,” she said to the pastor. “You’re like, ‘Do you want to buy a product that is literally being cursed as it’s going out into distribution?'”
Candace is a devout Christian, but previously portrayed a Satan-worshiping witch on an episode of Boy Meets World. On a 2024 episode of the Pod Meets World podcast, she described feeling a bit “weird” about it. Some of the lines she had to say on the episode, like “I’m the queen of darkness,” don’t sit that well with her.
“I mean, I remember saying some of those lines now having watched,” she said. “And I’m like, yeah, this doesn’t totally feel good.”
