In a union that perfectly blends the macabre with romance, Hollywood’s premier exorcist and horror novelist Rachel Stavis recently exchanged vows with Emmy-nominated Katherine Fisher in a hauntingly beautiful ceremony. The unconventional wedding took place on June 12th at the eerily atmospheric Nelson Ghost Town in Nevada, providing a fittingly spooky backdrop for this match made in the shadowlands.
Stavis, known for her work as a spiritual healer, horror writer, and award-winning director for television, film, and video games, chose a setting that reflects her connection to the otherworldly. The ghost town venue served as a unique altar for the couple’s love, bridging the gap between the world of the living and the realm of spirits that Stavis so often traverses in her work.
Adding a touch of showbiz glamour to the proceedings, the ceremony was officiated by none other than Chris Colfer, best known for his role in the hit series “Glee.” The guest list read like a who’s who of entertainment industry talents, including Drew Starkey, Ben Putnam (better known as drag queen BenDeLaCreme), and Odessa A’zion, among others.
True to her reputation as a spiritual communicator, Stavis incorporated her unique gifts into the wedding ceremony. In a move that surely sent shivers down the spines of her guests, she opened spirit communication during the event, sharing messages from the beyond with those in attendance. This paranormal twist on traditional wedding vows showcases Stavis’ commitment to her craft, even on her special day.
Stavis’ choice of attire for the occasion was nothing short of ethereal. The bride donned a vintage lace Oscar De La Renta dress, evoking the timeless elegance of a bygone era – fitting for a woman who often bridges the gap between past and present in her spiritual work. Her ring, a custom creation by Anthony Lent jewelers, likely holds its own mystical significance.
While the wedding itself is noteworthy, Stavis’ professional endeavors continue to make waves in the entertainment industry. Variety recently reported on her upcoming projects, including a body horror feature film titled “Da Wee Do Wa.” The project has attracted high-profile attention, with V (formerly Eve Ensler of “The Vagina Monologues” fame) and Pamela Adlon (“Better Things,” “King of the Hill”) signing on as executive producers.

Stavis’ memoir, “Sister of Darkness: The Chronicles of a Modern Exorcist,” is also set for a television adaptation. The book delves into Stavis’ journey to becoming an exorcist and explores the connections between pain, trauma, and negative spiritual attachments. With showrunner Glen Mazzara on board, this series promises to be a chilling look into the world of modern-day exorcism.
It’s worth noting that Stavis aims to redefine the term “exorcist” in the public consciousness. Her work is non-denominational and focuses on healing trauma and pain carried energetically. She has worked with a diverse clientele, including Oscar winners, politicians, and even members of the Royal Family, addressing issues ranging from physical ailments to addiction recovery.
“What I do is not at all religious. It’s all about healing trauma and pain that we carry energetically. I help celebrity clients (as well as all others) heal physical ailments, old pain, trauma, and even recover from addiction. I just had an infertility client from last month tell me she’s carrying twins! My goal is to help others and to share how they can empower themselves through this knowledge. My clients would not trust me for years (including Oscar winners and royal family members) if I were a ‘typical’ exorcist as we define it. It’s time we change what that word means in the context of everyday spirituality.”
As Rachel Stavis embarks on this new chapter of her life, her unique blend of horror expertise and spiritual healing continues to captivate both Hollywood and horror enthusiasts alike. With her wedding serving as a perfect reflection of her otherworldly career, Stavis proves that love can indeed conquer all – even in the spookiest of settings.
For horror fans and those intrigued by the supernatural, Rachel Stavis remains a figure to watch. Her work continues to push the boundaries of how we understand the intersection of spirituality, entertainment, and the human experience. As she moves forward in both her personal and professional life, one thing is certain – the world of horror and healing is all the richer for her contributions.
