Some stories are so unbelievable, they sound like they belong in a movie. But this isn’t fiction—this is Family Twist. And for this special crossover episode, we’re also bringing our Horror Heals audience along for the ride.
Brad Ewell thought he knew who he was. That changed in an instant.
What started as a simple curiosity—one of those “Hey, let’s do a DNA test for fun” moments—turned into a slow-burning, reality-shifting discovery. A message from a stranger. A birth certificate that didn’t quite add up. A phone call that changed everything.
From Horror Fan to Horror Story
In this episode, Brad shares:
✔️ The shocking moment he discovered his entire identity wasn’t what he thought
✔️ How horror and art became his unexpected lifeline during a difficult time
✔️ The eerie way fate brought Corey and Brad together—via The Exorcist
✔️ Why horror books and films have always played a role in his life
✔️ The emotional weight of family secrets—and the power of uncovering the truth
And here’s the kicker—this is just the beginning.
