I Escaped a Cult on Halloween. 27 Years Later, I Went Back.

After the death of his mother, Harlow Vega returns to the Holy Mesa, an isolated cult community hidden deep in the New Mexico desert, where he must confront the horrifying secrets of his past. Behind the community's seemingly peaceful existence lies a twisted religion built on ancient rituals, manipulation, human sacrifice, and the worship of a mysterious, centuries-old corpse believed to possess supernatural powers. As Harlow uncovers shocking truths about his family and the cult's enigmatic Prophet, he finds himself drawn into a terrifying struggle for power, faith, and survival. With Halloween approaching, the line between madness and the supernatural begins to disappear, culminating in a night of bloodshed that will forever change the fate of the Holy Mesa. 0:00 – Intro 0:50 – Prologue 11:28 – Part 1: Winter – Season of the Topaz Tomb 2:02:11 – Part 2: Spring – Season of the Garnet Crown 3:59:18 – Part 3: Summer – Season of the Copper Rose 6:28:53 – Part 4: Fall – Season of the Turquoise Mask 8:07:01 – Epilogue Huge thanks to our sponsor: EarnIn: Download EarnIn on the App Store or Google Play.
