Episode 119: The Satanic Panic & QAnon ft Scared All The Time

Beginning in about the 1980s, a wildfire would spread throughout the US, and by the late 90s, to many parts of the world. These were modern day witch trials. A distorted lens of hysteria had taken over, and the end result would be more than 12,000 unsubstantiated cases of Satanic ritualistic abuse. Lives were destroyed by unspeakable rumors and wrongful convictions. Not even Dungeons and Dragons and heavy metal music were safe. Churches were alleging backmasking was being used by rock musicians to put satanic messaging into their music. People were playing their records backwards to see if they were satanic. And to some extent, one could argue this movement still persists today. This is the story of The Satanic Panic.This episode features Scared All The Time Podcast with hosts Ed Voccola (Rick and Morty, Bless The Harts) and Chris Culler (Blumhouse, The Aviary).
