Female Psychopaths Series: The Trauma, Control & Chaos of Ma (2019)

In this episode of Terror Talk Podcast, we're diving deep into the psychological profile of Sue Ann, aka Ma—Octavia Spencer’s chilling yet complex character in the 2019 psychological horror thriller.

This isn’t just your standard horror review—we break down Ma through the lens of female psychopathy, trauma, and emotional control. From childhood bullying to adult manipulation, we explore her descent into madness with humor, insight, and plenty of clinical context.

We discuss:

  • The possible psychological diagnoses behind Ma’s actions

  • How trauma and toxic relationships shaped her behavior

  • Her intense need for control and connection

  • Why Sue Ann is more than just a campy villain

  • And of course, our trivia game: "Ma Facts with Cath"—because nothing says deep psych analysis like pop quiz horror chaos

    Do you think Ma was a product of her environment—or something far more sinister? Drop us a DM or comment on your favorite female psychopath portrayal in horror!
