"Heathridge Manor" is the nineteenth episode of Season Seven and the 157th overall of Criminal Minds.

Summary[]

When an Oregon woman is found dead in an asylum, the BAU realizes that the victim is part of a series of Gothic, ritualistic murders and the unsub might be a Satanist.

Emily Prentiss: "We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell." — Oscar Wilde
Aaron Hotchner: "All that we see or seem, is but a dream within a dream." — Edgar Allan Poe

The uncredited David St. Pierre did stunt work for this episode, as well as the Season Four episode "Brothers in Arms" (and also played the episode's unsub), Season Seven episode "Epilogue", and the Season Nine episodes "In The Blood" and "Blood Relations".
Elements of the episode's unsub are similar to the antagonist of the 2010 action-adventure game Heavy Rain - Both killers were removed from their parent's care, had some morbid obsessions with their younger sibling, they would abduct victims and trap them in a well with a grate on top designed to fill with water and drown the victim (though Heathridge only killed one victim by drowning by accident), then would apply something to their faces post-mortem before disposing of the bodies in specific locations.
