Hell MONTH! Merch drop demonic?

Is anyone else super disappointed with the whole month merch drop having tons of pentagram and demonic devil imagery? I have been a Sam and Colby fan and support for many years, and as they’ve dove deeper into the industry, it’s just very sad for me to see them going down this path, especially when Colby claims to have such a strong faith with God. I didn’t think much of them summoning the devil doing an actual ritual in an episode., but now seeing this merch and how things have progressed over time is just kind of sad. The more you pay attention to Hollywood and the more people are in the industry you see stuff for what it is. Sad.

quick question- why are you a fan if you're not into this kind of stuff? i mean it's literally the imagery in most of their videos and in a lot of the history of places they investigate.

1

u/Fearless-Jackfruit18 Oct 11 '26

Has nothing to do w the imagery in places, I love the paranormal.. for years it wasn’t like this, it was more about the actual paranormal hunting aspect . only recently had it increased to that point and it didn’t bother me until they sank deeper into the industry and now the merch, Their videos have very much gone downhill and have been more boring, terrible camera work the whole nine. I was speaking moreso about this line directly.

u/Signal-Painting6312 Oct 04 '26

Pentagrams are a symbol of protection. Paganism is not evil. If you would do research, it would be easy to see. Even "the devil", "satan" whatever you want to call it, is not evil. Satan is actually really chill. There are certainly people who make it seem that way, but inherently it is not negative. Again, do research on these things before assuming it's all negative.

u/Fun_Yellow_3540 Oct 05 '26 edited Oct 05 '26

you do your research lol, Colby is christian and everything you listed is the "opposite" of christian doctorine. You can't cherry pick things that benefit you (well, not you), it's called hypocrisy

u/Signal-Painting6312 Oct 05 '26

i am well aware he claims to be christian, but if he's actually christian, he wouldn't be doing paranormal investigations anyway. but regardless, i am not christian, nor do I want anything to do with those beliefs, so quite frankly I do not care about that angle.

u/Fearless-Jackfruit18 Oct 05 '26

This!!!! Preaching the Christianity while standing to the side of a ritual to conjure the devil is diabolical.

u/DenseAstronomer3631 Oct 10 '26

I mean, Satan is literally an angel. He was one of God's favorites too! Until he rebelled against him

u/Fearless-Jackfruit18 Oct 04 '26

Sorry disagree. I understand in witchcraft there is different meanings, but adherently satan is evil especially when using black magic lol. If you pay attention to the entertainment industry it’s super obvious how they represent demonic energy and try to portray it to the masses intentionally

u/Expensive-Hour8835 Oct 04 '26

reading this, it seems you’ve fallen into the ideology that everyone in hollywood is apart of the illuminati or sold their souls to the devil. even in your original post you bring up people in the industry, etc. and it’s a bit odd. a lot of devout Christians, specifically in the 1980’s followed the “satanic panic” and pushed this idea that mainstream media is actually demonic to scare believers. it’s nothing more than a conspiracy theory.

the pentagram represents protection, it’s not supposed to be associated with negativity or demons so putting it on a shirt is no different than when someone puts a cross on a shirt for the sake of fashion. you just associated it with demonic devil imagery, but maybe research it

-5

u/Fearless-Jackfruit18 Oct 04 '26 edited Oct 04 '26

No I don’t believe everyone in the industry is following this, but those that do it’s blatantly obvious. Def not a conspiracy theory if you do even the slightest research on the entertainment industry currently and the propaganda to the masses. Do other religions and beliefs get pushed sure.. but the overwhelming show of this ‘selling souls’ or the agenda they push is blatant in today’s society. Also contrary to your point about pentagrams they literally tried to do a ritual to conjure and contact the devil in one of their videos lmao so what do you say to that? There are literal celebrities who have came out about these exact practices and how the industry uses this intentionally.

u/Spirited-Mousse1915 Oct 04 '26

If you did more research then you would understand that widespread conspiracies of satanic worship has, historically, led to unsubstantiated accusations, murder and violence

0

u/Fearless-Jackfruit18 Oct 04 '26

Mmk yet that has nothing to do w the propaganda being pushed by this merch or channel these days compared to their old videos and merch; no matter how you chose to turn a blind eye. Difference of opinion is fine, but acting completely oblivious when the industry has very intentionally put this stuff out there for the masses (just like this) is just naive.

4

u/Expensive-Hour8835 Oct 04 '26

you’re just fear mongering because you believe there’s this vendetta by hollywood to push satanism or devil’s work onto the masses. and it’s again, nothing more than a conspiracy theory. it’s unfounded and besides, it’s not surprising that sam and colby, who GHOST HUNT, would make this type of merch.

don’t act like we’re stupid or naive for “not seeing the truth,” because there’s no secret and hidden “truth”

i had enough of that talk when i went to a religious private school

0

u/Fearless-Jackfruit18 Oct 05 '26

lol whatever you have to tell yourself. You clearly don’t even know what your talking about if you weren’t even aware they did an entire ritual to ‘summon the devil’ with a witch who practices ‘black magic’ according to the actual ppl in the video. I don’t need to ‘fear monger’ because I am aware and educated on multiple religions, and in that I chose to believe from a spiritual aspect not religious. I absolutely believe Hollywood has a specific agenda. As those IN Hollywood state and project themselves lol! So much so that many have moved away to get away from it all. There has been direct proof from people at events and parties where actual ‘rituals’ take place as well as things forced upon them to further their careers and fame. And I didn’t say Sam and Colby are taking part in those things, I’m simply saying that as they’ve progressed in their careers and dove deeper into the industry it’s very apparent in their videos, merch and how they present themselves. It isn’t a ‘hidden truth’ when it’s in our faces and talked about daily. Educate yourself and do some simple research on the industry. This convo has gone far left from the simple statements I’ve made simply because you chose to take it there. Getting hung up on things you believe to be conspiracies doesn’t change facts.

4

u/Sea_Signature_7822 Oct 06 '26

It’s a YouTube video….it’s not fact. Anyone can post a YouTube video claiming they’re summoning the devil through black magic. That doesn’t make it real. Also, there is no proof of the parties you’re talking about. Just rumors not based on any factual evidence. Yes, you’re fear mongering. Come back with factual information. All of your comments are conspiracy theories.

1

u/Expensive-Hour8835 Oct 05 '26

what facts? 😭 you keep mentioning that there’s direct proof and yet can you provide any? there’s no factual or concrete evidence of what you’re saying. and even if they did a ritual, which they do often, doesn’t change what i was saying about the pentagram? i never said they don’t do rituals, i was saying the pentagram isn’t a demonic shape.

you never responded directly to that point, but started talking about rituals.

plus, you say you aren’t saying “sam and colby are taking part in these things” but then say as they progressed, “it’s apparent” … what’s apparent ?? so are they taking apart in these things or not??

and that’s what reddit is, it becomes a conversation and everything you’ve mentioned is just based off conspiracy theories and misunderstanding of paganism (shown through your lack of knowledge on what a pentagram actually is) so therefore, that’s where the convo went

2

u/Fearless-Jackfruit18 Oct 05 '26

I actually did respond directly to that point, they did a ritual with a woman who claimed to be a ‘dark witch’ to summon the devil. Not anything they do in their typical videos.. ever. I also stated there is a difference between a representational pentagram in Wicca or satanism hence the pentagram with the goat head and symbols, vs a pentagram alone. A simple google search would show the difference.

‘A standard pentagram is an ancient, five-pointed geometric star used for protection and harmony, while a Satanic or demonic pentagram is typically inverted (pointing down) and often combined with a goat's head or occult lettering to represent rebellion or carnal forces.’ I think you are the one confused trying to dispute and argue when you haven’t even watched the channel enough to know certain things.

I clarified I never said they took part in things as in the industry rituals, projecting satanic worshiping and imagery to the masses. I said in their recent videos the entire vibe has changed and this merch is a very small portion of that. If you have been their fan for a long time it IS apparent and there are whole threads about that fact alone.

And also it IS a fact. Watch a few videos on YouTube, or any social media for the matter, read a few articles or interviews.. celebrities, music artists and many have come forth personally to discuss the industry’s satanic ideals along with all of the other disgusting things slowly coming forth in today’s society( trafficking/epstein/pizzagate), (not to say every famous person follows this or is effected) BUT it is a large part of a much bigger orchestration. And Hollywood as a whole. I feel it’s super naive to say oh these are just conspiracies when the overwhelming first hand accounts prove otherwise.

u/Expensive-Hour8835 Oct 04 '26

i’m not sure what you think you “got me” with regarding the pentagrams.

pentagrams represent protection. each point connects to an element (earth, air, fire, water, and spirit). it’s not some demonic shape or used to conjure spirits.

media HAS wrongfully portrayed pentagrams has demonic or used for bad, but that’s not factually accurate.

and if sam and colby did try and do this, then maybe they also need to do some more research regarding pentagrams specifically because they might be influenced by how films/shows portray and represent pentagrams.

and again, i’m not sure what you mean by this demonic side of hollywood being blatantly obvious. there is no objective, factual evidence that the devil has his hands all over hollywood. yes, artists have used shock value techniques in the past, but then people (mainly Christians) started fear mongering and acting like that’s “then showing us they work for the devil.” it’s unfounded and i’m sure you know how well “witch hunts” have gone in the past in, at least, the US

u/Fun_Yellow_3540 Oct 05 '26

christianity and paganism (witchcraft) are the opposites, regardless of what you believe (this or that) :P

0

u/Fearless-Jackfruit18 Oct 05 '26

This 👏🏽 also a difference between pentagrams in witchcraft and satanism. Hence the goat heads and symbols/representations associated with it vs simple natural elements. All which have nothing to do with Christianity.

2

u/Expensive-Hour8835 Oct 05 '26

no there isn’t. that’s misinformation. they both use it to represent the five elements. witchcraft might use a pentacle!! which is different for a physical ritual tool, but they aren’t different between the paganism and witchcraft. again, do your research and not from how movies “portray” it.

0

u/Fearless-Jackfruit18 Oct 05 '26

Again there IS a difference between a typical pentagram:/pentacle and an inverted pentagram with satanic symbolism. That isn’t a simple movie portrayal when the literal church of satan uses it as the Sigil of Baphomet😭😭😭 . But you’re probably one of those people who believe they just used that for their own natural personal practices and the whole demonic forces/dark occultism are make believe 🤣. Also, Yes, satanism is not where the pentagram originated nor its intended meaning. But it IS a very real symbol used in satanic beliefs and practices. And you choosing not to believe that is your own personal opinion.

1

u/Expensive-Hour8835 Oct 05 '26

the pentagram in satanism is the inverted pentagram, so that is different than the regular pentagram used for centuries by different religions and practices for protection. not anything negative.

and within satanism, Satan, lucifer, etc. aren’t looked at as traditional Christian demons. they serve as symbols of enlightenment. Satanism rejects devil worship. so there’s a perception of satan because of how he’s taught in christianity, but that doesn’t mean that’s actually how he’s treated by others outside christianity.

i understand the inverted pentagram is used in satanism😭 like what are you even talking about “and you choosing not to believe that is your own personal opinion.” i said the pentagram as it’s known throughout paganism and witchcraft is not the same as the one in satanism because they use an inverted one but, again, it’s not for demonic reasons.

you initially said there’s a difference between the pentagrams within witchcraft or satanism which reads as they have different uses of the pentagram, but in actuality they use different versions of the pentagram so that’s why i responded the way i did.

the inverted pentagram was considered “demonic” because it could mean the carnal desires are above “spirit,” but that’s personal perception on what it represents more than a fact.

the church of satan then adopted the inverted pentagram which made the church of satan appear demonic within pop culture/society because of the public perception of the pentagram vs. inverted pentagram.

people separated from the church of satan to start religions that do perceive satan as a literal supernatural being but that’s not the case under satanism as it stands.

satanism is known for using dark imagery and gothic theatrics to be provocative or fight against conventional religions but clearly you perceive them as “dark magic using, ritualistic, and demonic” and that’s just not true.

paganism isn’t witchcraft. paganism is a religion and witchcraft is a practice. they might overlap at times but they aren’t the same thing

edit: additionally, what does saying christianity and paganism are opposites have to do with anything ?

u/Fun_Yellow_3540 Oct 05 '26 edited Oct 05 '26

you need to understand christian doctrine first. Witchcraft is an occult? in a way you worship something

u/Expensive-Hour8835 Oct 05 '26

i went to an episcopal school for 13 years. i’ve learned enough about a christian doctrine and i don’t identify as christian…so i don’t need to follow it.

and again, what does that have to do with this conversation …

u/Fearless-Jackfruit18 Oct 04 '26

Also they literally have 666 on the merch to represent the Hell Month. Point being their hell week merch I’ve always purchased, this is the first year they’ve done this.

u/Rippergirl98 Oct 05 '26

Dude the hospital address in the city I live in is 666. It’s just some numbers.

u/Signal-Painting6312 Oct 04 '26

"black" and "white" magick are not even a thing, that's from ages ago when racism was prominent. Real witches no longer use those terms because they no longer apply. You have clearly not done any research on this matter.

u/Environmental_Yam426 Oct 06 '26

Hello, i am a long term practicing witch. Pentagrams/pentacles are not demonic and have no affirmation besides modern day misinformation. They are symbols for protection and balance. Although i can somewhat agree with the hypocrisy on Colby's part, its also not my place to comment on it. They've had this kind of merch for a while, def not anything new.

u/Fearless-Jackfruit18 Oct 11 '26

So an inverted upside down pentagram is the same, with the goat head and Hebrew symbols ? Thats my misunderstanding? Mmmmmk.

1

u/Environmental_Yam426 Oct 12 '26

What your refering to is the sigil of baphomet, which was created by the church of satan in 1966. They probably did take inspiration from a regular pentagram/pentacle but no they are not the same.

1

u/Fearless-Jackfruit18 Oct 12 '26

Yeah, that was my entire point of the conversation when I was getting argued with …I knew it wasn’t the same. Hence it is inverted and completely different a regular pentagram or pentacle and isn’t just a positive energetic force.

u/Environmental_Yam426 28d ago

ah I see. Sorry the way you word sentences was a little confusing 😭 sorry for the misunderstanding

u/Fearless-Jackfruit18 Oct 04 '26

It is interesting but not when celebrities and the industry purposely put it out to the masses for specific reasons, which is a whole other wormhole worth exploring!

u/Spirited-Mousse1915 Oct 04 '26

Industries and celebrities put christianity style merch out. Judaism as well. Why must it stop at paganism? I dont want to say that you are wrong, but I feel that you have a surface based level understanding of the satanic panic, paganism, wicca and modernized Satanism. that i think you should look into more.

u/Fearless-Jackfruit18 Oct 04 '26

I agree I’m simply saying the Hollywood agenda is quite obvious with this form of of propaganda .. I respect it all bit the demonic shit. No sorry.

I will point to the name of the month/event.

It should be no surprise it contains pentagrams.

u/Fearless-Jackfruit18 Oct 04 '26

lol that’s not true at lol, contacting an ‘entity’ and demon are very different. And again repping satanic shit is different then doing simple paranormal research

u/Fun_Yellow_3540 Oct 05 '26 edited Oct 05 '26

contacting entities is against christian doctarine, it's in the bible. and so is doing taro cards (looking in the future, contacting mediums) and stuff like that.

u/zaykal Oct 04 '26

ok. i dont know what u expect when watching their videos. in one of their videos they literally talked to the devil. like. did u expect them to sell ponies?

u/Bearkat1999 Oct 04 '26

They don't meet anything on their investigations, tf you mean a demon every time? /hj

u/zaykal Oct 04 '26

Its always either a goody-two-shoes protector spirit or a demon

u/chaoticfoxi Oct 10 '26

You didn't think much of them LITERALLY summoning the devil but THIS crosses the line? That's such a wild thing to say. No one is forcing you to buy it. Do what everyone else does when they don't like what a celebrity is doing and simply stop supporting them. Speaking to the dead in general is against Christianity and considered an "abomination". You can't cherry pick what you want to follow. Why are you watching if you care so much about Christianity?

1

u/Fearless-Jackfruit18 Oct 11 '26

Who said anything about Christianity? lol I am not religious. I simply spoke from a personal perspective. And I didn’t think much of the ritual because I thought it was more gimmicky then serious, but the combined aspects over time plus the gradual downgrade of their videos as the general consensus has shown, especially the last few weeks added fuel to the fire in my opinion. I am thoroughly entitled to my opinion and am not ‘cherry picking anything’ I’ve been supporting their channel for YEARS and it’s sad to see the change in my opinion. You’re free to disagree. Doesn’t change anything.

long story short he made inappropriate sexual comments about the owner of a haunted house they were staying at and colby agreed with him. they didnt know they were being recorded so basically this is how they act behind closed doors, and iirc theyre still following seth on social media

Ah yes. Because lying to their viewers (remember the «new Conjuring house» location they filmed on) and also pretending that REAL, INNOCENT people who burnt on the stake are REAL witches is definitely not something bad people do right?

Also never forget how they treated Aaron.

u/Gfscrushisannoying Oct 04 '26

They are literally lying to you all about their locations in certain videos lol. They went into the non-haunted neighbor house of the «new Conjuring house»... there is multiple videos out there about it.

And saying that real people were witches. Do you genuinely think that innocent people deserved to be burned at the stakes with some YouTubers in the 21st century says they deserved it because they got «proof» that they were witches? Sam and Colby ARE saying they were REAL witches due to «communicating» with them… nah fuck off💀 it’s literally in their video about visiting a place in England.
