Candace Cameron Bure is opening up about a belief that may surprise you. The former Full House star and beloved face of countless holiday films recently expressed her unease around horror movies and certain video games. On a new episode of The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast, she spoke candidly with pastor Jonathan Pokluda and her 25-year-old son, Lev, revealing that she fears such media can act as spiritual gateways. Her conviction on the matter was so strong that she said she doesn’t even allow horror content to play inside her home.
She Describes Horror Movies As Potential Spiritual Gateways
During the conversation, Bure said, “I don’t even want someone watching a scary movie in our house on the TV, because to me, that’s just a portal.” For her, the concern goes beyond entertainment value. She sees horror content as something capable of opening the door to unwanted spiritual influences. Though she’s fully aware of the production mechanics behind these films, she believes the end result can still have spiritual consequences. Despite being in the film industry herself, she separates the technical aspects from the impact she feels the content can have on the soul and her household.
Her Family Often Teases Her, But She Remains Unshaken In Her Beliefs
Bure acknowledged that her son and others sometimes laugh at her spiritual seriousness. “I feel like you guys make fun of me … particularly when I’m serious about a spiritual thing happening,” she said. “Like the portal. They laugh at me because of the portal.” Still, you can tell she doesn’t let the teasing sway her. Her belief in the spiritual impact of media is firm. For Bure, it’s not simply about superstition but rooted in a protective instinct for her family and the space they share. Her caution reflects a deep personal boundary based on faith and experience.
She Explains Her Belief That Some Content Invites Darkness
Candace elaborated on how certain movies or games could invite negative forces into her home. “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 repeated. Even though she works in entertainment and knows what happens behind the scenes, her concern goes beyond what’s visible. “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,” she explained. Still, she warned, “there’s something that can be incredibly demonic while they’ve made it.”
Even Product Choices Reflect Her Spiritual Boundaries
Her concerns don’t stop with film and gaming. She brought up a specific brand of canned water — Liquid Death — during her chat with Pastor Pokluda. “That just reminded me like you posted something a while back about Liquid Death,” she recalled. “You’re like, ‘Do you want to buy a product that is literally being cursed as it’s going out into distribution?’” Her point was clear. Whether it’s media or merchandise, Bure is cautious about what she allows into her home and her life. You get a clear sense that she strives to be intentional in every decision, no matter how small.
Christmas Films Still Feel Like A Safe Space For Her Work
Unlike the horror genre, which she keeps at arm’s length, Bure feels at home in festive storytelling. Known for her roles in heartwarming holiday movies, she shared that she’s already completed two Christmas projects this year alone. “I never get sick of Christmas,” she said with a smile. Her affection for light, hopeful storytelling has long defined her career. You may notice that she continues to gravitate toward content that mirrors her values and uplifts viewers. In contrast to the dark tones she avoids, her chosen work celebrates love, faith, and community.
Bure’s Message Resonates With A Spiritually Minded Audience
Her remarks may not be universally shared, but they’ve sparked conversation among many who hold similar views. For people who take spiritual energy seriously, her words are both validating and relatable. Bure’s perspective offers a reminder that media consumption is deeply personal. Whether or not you agree with her, it’s clear she approaches her role as a mother, actress, and podcast host with intentional care. She wants her home to reflect her values and feels it’s her responsibility to protect it — even if that means saying no to something as common as a scary movie night.
