About This Episode
What is this episode about?
The episode "The Devil's Ledger - Week of Oct. 5th, 2026" from The Devil Within is a weekly roundup covering several ongoing stories across its network of shows, tied together under the Evio Universe banner. The episode opens with a segment on the online mythology forming around the upcoming horror film You Can't Leave, examining claims that filmmakers used real occult experts to create dangerous demonic rituals—claims the hosts say they could not verify.
The main segment introduces a new three-part series called The Devil on Death Row, which examines Christa Pike and the 1995 murder of Colleen Slemmer, a case noted for its documented Satanic imagery at what is described as the dying edge of the Satanic Panic. The episode follows Pike through thirty years on death row up to September 30, when Tennessee attempted to execute her with pentobarbital—an execution she reportedly survived twice. The episode also references other programs in the network: Part Two of the Tomasz Kosowski case on Criminal Mischief, where the accused plastic surgeon chooses to represent himself in a capital murder trial, and a segment on The Slippery about former Bellum Entertainment CEO Mary Carole McDonnell and an alleged $30 million fraud. A closing segment, This Week in Horror, covers the monster film Beware Boiuna, based on Amazonian folklore.
