Candace Cameron Bure Calls TV a “Portal,” Avoids Scary Movies at Home

There will be no jump scares in Candace Cameron Bure’s house.

On a recent episode of her eponymously named podcast, Bure admitted to her guest, Pastor Jonathan Pokluda, her family occasionally pokes fun at her when she refers to the TV as “the portal,” a spiritual vortex of sorts through which — at least from the “Full House” star’s perspective — all kinds of things enter the home.

“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, the chief creative officer for Great American Media, has spent her entire career in the film and television industry. She first rose to stardom as D.J. Tanner on the hit 90s sitcom “Full House” before making a name for herself as the central character in feel-good TV movies.

While the Christian star acknowledged she understands the movie business — aware it’s all makeup and special effects — she argued there’s “still something that can be incredibly demonic” happening.

“I feel like it’s a portal that gets opened up and let in,” Bure said of certain movies and shows.
