Candace Cameron Bure isn’t a fan of horror.
The “Full House” alum, 49, who is outspoken about her Christian faith, opened up about why she won’t allow her family to watch scary movies at home.
“In our house as a mom, I feel like you guys make fun of me when I talk about — they make fun of me all the time — but particularly when I’m serious about a spiritual thing happening, and then they’re rolling their eyes at me. Like the portal,” Bure said on an episode of “The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast” published on Tuesday, June 10, with her son, Lev, and pastor Jonathan Pokluda as guests.
The Great American Family chief creative officer shares children Natasha, Lev and Maksim with her husband, Valeri Bure, and said that her loved ones “laugh at me because of the portal. I’m like, ‘You’re opening up a portal.’”
“Like if you’re watching this, or you’re playing this video game, or whatever, that’s a portal that could let stuff inside our home,” she explained. “I don’t even want someone watching a scary movie in our house on the TV, because to me, that’s just a portal.”
Bure laughed off her criticism, noting the irony since she’s an actress and understands how movies are made. Still, she believes even making horror films is a slippery slope.
“Listen, I’m in the film industry,” she said. “I understand how it all works. I know that movie has a crew of 200 people, and they’re lighting it, and they’re adding the sound effects, and it’s makeup, and the camera, people and actors; however, there’s still something that can be incredibly demonic while they’ve made it.”
Scary movies aren’t the only things that Bure is cautious of.
The “Fuller House” star also dragged the water brand Liquid Death into the conversation.
“That just reminded me like you posted something a while back about Liquid Death,” she recalled to Pokluda. “You’re like, ‘Do you want to buy a product that is literally being cursed as it’s going out into distribution?’”
Despite Bure’s views on horror, she’s made a career out of starring in several murder mysteries like her TV movie franchises “Ainsley McGregor Mysteries” and “Aurora Teagarden Mysteries,” which follow her characters investigating killings.
Last year, Bure shared that she won’t let her husband, whom she married in 1996, watch any of her kissing scenes.
“I don’t think it’s as comfortable for anybody – maybe if you’re an actor married to another actor – it’s just never comfortable to watch your spouse in the arms of someone, even though it’s a peck or a kiss or anything,” she said in a December 2024 interview with Danica McKellar, with both actresses confirming they “fast-forward” or go to a commercial when the intimate scenes come on.
Bure insisted that her significant other is “supportive” despite being uncomfortable.
“We have those honest conversations. He’s like, ‘I don’t really want to watch that part’ and ‘I don’t want to put you through that.’ But … we kind of worked through those feelings to a place where we both feel good and supported through it,” she shared.
Bure has never been one to shy away from sharing her views.
In April, she made headlines for applauding those in Hollywood who are outspoken about their faith, adding they are no longer worried about cancel culture.
“I feel like people are just a little less afraid of being canceled now that they can share their faith openly or whatever their opinions are [even] if they’re not congruent with some other people’s opinions,” she told Fox News Digital at the Movieguide Awards.
“And, so, I love seeing this in our country, and I’m hopeful. I’m very hopeful.”
