Urban Legends returns next week, but today, we're sharing a guest episode from our friends at Weekly Spooky — one that connects closely to our most recent chapter.____On July 4, 1984, police dogs uncovered a shallow grave in the quiet town of Northport, Long Island. Inside lay the mutilated body of 17-year-old Gary Lauwers—stabbed more than 30 times in a drug-fueled frenzy by his friend Ricky “The Acid King” Kasso. Within days, the story became national news, sparking headlines of Satanic sacrifice and cementing Kasso as the terrifying face of America's 1980s Satanic Panic.But was this really the work of a Satanic cult, or simply the grim fallout of teenage drug abuse, mental illness, and neglect? In this episode of Terrifying & True, we dive deep into the disturbing murder in Aztakea Woods, Ricky Kasso's descent into drugs and occult posturing, and how the media turned one horrific killing into a nationwide moral hysteria.We'll examine:The brutal murder of Gary Lauwers and Kasso's infamous demand, “Say You Love Satan.”How the case fueled the fire of the Satanic Panic sweeping America.The media's sensational claims versus the grim reality of drugs, rage, and tragedy.The trial of Jimmy Troiano and the lasting legacy of the “Acid King” myth.From grave robbing to cult rumors, from teenage rebellion to national paranoia, this is the chilling true story of Ricky Kasso, the Acid King of Northport.We're telling that story tonight.To find out more, simply search 'Weekly Spooky' in your chosen podcast providers or visit http://WeeklySpooky.comText Me (this is 3rd party & I cannot respond, but I see all messages)Support the showIf you have more information or a correction on something mentioned in this chapter, email us at luke@lukemordue.com.

Journey back to 1487, a Europe ravaged by plague, famine, and a desperate Catholic Church clinging to power. In this haunting episode, we expose how corruption, papal chaos, and mass paranoia collided to create the perfect storm for witch hunts. One book, the Malleus Maleficarum, turned fear into a weapon, unleashed brutal torture chambers, and set thousands of innocents ablaze. From secret sabbats to twisted trials and the lingering shadows of Satanic Panic today, this is the dark blueprint for how power turns fear into fire.

The leaves are changing and ghosts are in the air, which can only mean it's time for another TGMEM Halloween Horrorthon. This year, the boys are discussing third entries of popular horror franchises, and they're kicking things off with this hilariously titled Conjuring sequel. Those rascally Warrens are up to their usual supernatural grifts once again, but can the combined talents of Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga make this Satanic Panic mystery The Greatest Movie Ever Made?The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021) is directed by Michael Chaves and stars Patrick Wilson, Vera Farmiga, Ruairi O'Conner, Sarah Catherine Hook, and Julian HilliardMusic: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio

One of the bestselling nonfiction books of the moment is a memoir about a wealthy and successful woman dealing with memories of horrific sexual assault by her teacher when she was in middle school. The only problem: her memories were "recovered" in therapy with the use of hallucinogens. Meaning they probably aren't real. And the author just so happens to have a stake in a company that is trying to get hallucinogens approved by the FDA for use in therapy to treat PTSD. Jessa and Nico talk about how the recovered memories craze of the 1980s led to our last great Satanic Panic, why everyone has PTSD now, and why women's media loves wishywashy fake memoirs about sexual assault.

Rounding our Listener Submitted Month is a bit different film than our usual on the show, but still hits a lot of the same questionable beats so dammit, you're going to listen to us deconstruct PAGAN INVASION VOLUME 1: HALLOWEEN - TRICK OR TREAT (1990). Shameless church propaganda from the first Satanic Panic (we are living through the second round currently), this one has more lies stuffed in its 47 minute runtime than candy in a boo bucket after hitting the rich people neighborhoods… You'd think the police would've followed up on the one guy's assertions that he was part of a demon child trafficking sex cult if any of what he said was true, right? At least the theme song rips. If you grew up celebrating Family Fun Night while all your classmates were doing normal Halloween stuff, this one's for you, you hopeless weirdo.

**Trigger Warning: This chapter involves harm to children.**In this chapter, let's delve into the urban legends that brought forward what is now known as 'The Satanic Panic‘, from the first sensational cases and flawed investigations to the media frenzy and courtrooms that followed.  We'll look at how fear, politics, and culture combined to create a moral wildfire, one that still echoes in today's conspiracy movements.Text Me (this is 3rd party & I cannot respond, but I see all messages)Support the showIf you have more information or a correction on something mentioned in this chapter, email us at luke@lukemordue.com.

The term "Satanic Panic" is attributed to the 1980's and 1990's, a time in which many Evangelical Protestants began to recognize patterns in rock music and subcultures, particularly the violence and occult themes that were springing up in that era. In some ways they overreacted, but in some ways they reacted to what was really going on. Support the showVisit Our Site // Grab Some Merch // Become A Patreon Member

This segment unearths the deeply disturbing legacy of a prominent Christian leader whose authoritarian parenting advice and regressive family models directly fueled modern Christian nationalism. From advocating physical child discipline to igniting the Satanic Panic, his teachings exemplify how religious authority can morph into widespread societal harm. We scrutinize whether religion, as a perceived "tool," can truly be beneficial when its applications enable such demonstrable abuse. The discussion tackles the difficult ethical questions of confronting harmful legacies without simply dismissing critiques as anti-religious bias, and navigating reactions to the passing of influential yet destructive figures. It's a stark reminder of how spiritual strongmen, often claiming to "save the children," can inflict generational trauma by weaponizing faith to control minds, families, and ultimately, entire nations.News Source: The Dark Legacy Of James Dobson: A Reflection On Influence By Henry Karlson for SmartNews August 25, 2025

During the Satanic Panic of the 70s and 80s, Fear gripped the United States as cults seem to spring up out of no where. The issue is, people would go missing for one reason or another but as they did, people would claim it was due to the Satanists. In one such event, a girl named Jeannette DePalma would go missing under mysterious circumstances. But what actually happened? Lets discuss that in Todays Episode.

The Devil Within: Paradise Lost: REDUX - Part Two In 1988, Jefferson Township, New Jersey, was thrust into the national spotlight. A teenage boy, Tommy Sullivan, murdered his mother before taking his own life in a crime so shocking it became a lightning rod for the Satanic Panic. Suddenly, everything—from heavy metal music to role-playing games to Catholic school curriculums—was scrutinized as potential gateways to darkness. This episode, Paradise Lost, explores how Tommy's seemingly ordinary suburban life unraveled in just a matter of weeks: his exposure to occult literature, his fascination with extreme music, whispers of rituals in the woods, and a town hall meeting where parents confronted the chilling possibility that their own traditions might have paved the way for horror. Now, four years after this story first aired on The Devil Within, I'm bringing it back as part of our REDUX season—with brand new commentary. Together, we'll re-examine what we thought we knew about the Sullivan case, how the story has evolved since we first told it, and how the MGM+ documentary series Let the Devil In aligns with and expands on each episode of Season One. And while I can't reveal everything just yet, know this: there are stunning new developments, and we'll be unpacking them in our upcoming bonus episode.

Everyone wants to be a witch these days. But what about the ones who kept the craft alive in secret, in shadow, and under fire? In this episode, I am pulling back the glittery veil of WitchTok and “starter kits” to talk about the real history of witchcraft's survival.From the repeal of the Witchcraft Act in 1951 and the rise of Wicca in the 1960s, to the Satanic Panic of the 80s, and the trend-driven witch surge of today, we'll trace how witchcraft keeps cycling through pop culture. We'll also examine what gets lost in the noise. This is a call to respect: for the witches who risked their freedom, for the elders who kept the flame lit when it was not safe, and for the unnamed folk witches who healed, protected, and endured.If you have ever wondered what it really means to claim the word “witch,” this episode will challenge you to go deeper than hashtags and crystal bundles.

Most people think of the 80s as a simple time full of big hair and scrunchies, but those of us who were into Dungeons and Dragons will remember the Satanic Panic, a period of time when parents were terrified that every piece of media was making their children evil. Our hosts Matt and Joe take a walk through a history they remember quite well, drawing from their own experiences as kids trying to get into D&D and comics.A listener asked about the history and influence of the Satanic Panic, so Joe and Matt were more than happy to talk smack about Tipper Gore for an hour.

Summer, 1984—at the height of the Satanic Panic. Ricky is a motor-mouthed teen who wants proof the Devil is listening. In a moonlit patch of woods, a dare turns into a ritual and a killing. What follows is darker: Ricky props the body in a lawn chair with sunglasses, invites classmates to look, and turns terror into spectacle—boombox hissing, insects buzzing, and bravado curdling into dread as word spreads and the cops close in.This isn't a true-crime retelling; it's a brutal horror story steeped in Acid King folklore—teen cult swagger, drugs, and a swaggering kid convinced he's owed infernal fame. The consequences arrive in handcuffs and, at the end, a quiet, awful moment alone in a jail cell. Listener discretion advised for graphic violence, drug use, and suicide.What Ricky Did on his Summer Vacation by Dan Wilder

The Devil Within Season One: In the bleak midwinter of 1988, the quiet town of Jefferson Township, New Jersey, was shaken to its core. A mother was found brutally murdered. Her teenage son vanished into the night. What unfolded in the hours and days that followed would horrify even the most seasoned investigators — and feed directly into the fever dream of the Satanic Panicsweeping across America. This was the case that introduced listeners to The Devil Within. It wasn't just a true crime story — it was the beginning of a descent into fear, paranoia, and the darker corners of human belief. Now, we're re-releasing The Jersey Devil with a twist. Host and writer Branden Morgan returns to the story with new commentary, reflecting on what it meant to tell this tale the first time, what he's uncovered since, and why the Sullivan case still lingers in the American imagination. This re-release also marks a milestone: the launch of the new MGM+ documentary series Let the Devil In, based on season one of The Devil Within. The four-part series — premiering August 31st — expands on the original story with exclusive interviews, never-before-seen evidence, and firsthand accounts from detectives, first responders, and those who lived through the nightmare. In This Episode     •    The brutal 1988 murder that shocked Jefferson Township.     •    How the case became entwined with the national hysteria of the Satanic Panic.     •    New behind-the-scenes reflections from Branden Morgan.     •    How this story connects to the upcoming MGM+ series Let the Devil In. Why Revisit This Story Now? Because some stories never truly leave us. They echo, they evolve, and sometimes, they return in ways we never expect.

On August 7, 1972, 16-year-old Jeannette DePalma left her home in Springfield, New Jersey, to go to work, but she never made it back home. Six weeks later, Jeannette's body was found atop Devil's Teeth, a cliff in Houdaille Quarry. With very little evidence, no clear suspects, and rumors of her being the victim of a Satanic Cult, her case has gone cold with no answers to be had for any of the countless questions left in the wake of her death. 53 years later, the mystery of what really happened to Jeannette DePalma has continued to baffle those who still remember her. Today, I am joined by Brian Santana to break down the case file and walk you through one of my home state's most baffling crimes.  If you have any information about the death of Jeannette DePalma, please contact the Springfield Police Department at (973) 376-0400.Visit the Justice for Jeannette website and sign the petition Get A Murder On Campus: The Professor, The Cop, and North Carolina's Most Notorious Cold Case hereCheck out Chapter 91 with Brian and Cameron Santana hereCheck out Chapter 105: Summer's Almost Gone with Brian Santana and J.T.

EPISODE 144 | Unwell and Unregulated: The Militia Movement The United States has always had a certain comfort level with violence, or at least the idea of it. Throughout its history, groups of armed citizens will threaten to use, or actually use, force to get their point across, either to effect change or to prevent that from happening. But in the 1990s, something changed, and groups formed around new ideologies that sometimes had little to do with objective reality. The Militia Movement was mainly rural, white, far-right Christians who'd been nurtured on conspiracy theories and half truths which they had chosen to believe because these made some sort of emotional sense to them, and because they had an unerring sense that they were right and everyone else was wrong. And some of them were willing to go to great lengths to achieve their aims. This is the breeding ground for the modern conspirasphere. Like what we do?

In fact, if you're curious, I've started putting up some videos on there as I fugure out how to use it.

In the late 80’s and early 90’s, the US found itself wrapped up in the “Satanic Panic” - a general state of fear revolving around Satanism and satanic ritual, real or imagined. On May 5th, 1993, in West Memphis, AR, three 8-year-old boys—Steven Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers—were reported missing. Their lifeless bodies were found the following day in a Robin Hood Hills creek, naked and hogtied. Christopher Byers had suffered lacerations, and his genitals had been mutilated. Details of the bizarre and brutal scene in Robin Hood Hills brought Satanic Panic to a fever pitch in the largely conservative Christian city of West Memphis. Coming off their first film success with Brother’s Keeper, documentarians Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky were tapped by HBO documentaries to head down to get the story. Joe Berlinger sits with Jason Flom and recalls his experience of the case, the moments that inspired his fight for criminal justice reform, and the films and events that have helped shape public opinion of wrongful convictions.

Subscribe to Know Your Enemy on Patreon to hear more episodes just for subscribers.In this episode, Matt is joined by journalist Talia Lavin to discuss her book, Wild Faith: How the Christian Right is Taking Over America, one of the most fascinating and unique books published on the Christian right during the Trump-era. Lavin takes her subjects seriously, but not uncritically, and especially focuses on the wrecked and ruined lives left in the wake of conservative evangelicalism's more conspiratorial and authoritarian elements, from the Satanic Panic to James Dobson's parenting manual on how to discipline a "strong-willed child" into compliance. Along the way, they talk about the triumph of QAnon, End Times theology, the importance of the New Apostolic Reformation, and more—all with an eye toward how these religious views and practices help explain conservative evangelicals' overwhelming support for Donald Trump.Sources:Talia Lavin, Wild Faith: How the Christian Right Is Taking Over America (2024)— Culture Warlords: My Journey Into the Dark Web of White Supremacy (2020)— "The Sword and the Sandwich" (Talia's newsletter)Listen again:"The Prayers and Prophecies of Pat Robertson," Know Your Enemy, July 17, 2023

I have long dismissed whisperings of secret Satanic pedophile networks. But, it turns out there truly is an international group associated with a kind of Satanism reminiscent of 1980's Satanic Panic. It's called 764. It exists online. It's growing larger, seemingly, by the day. It's very real. And it's extremely terrifying.For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com

This week, the Guys take a long overdue return to the worlds of Dungeons and Dragons-not the recent movie or the old cartoon from the 80s, but the legendary role-playing game. With Jay out, Robbie and Art are joined by Art's older son, Will, to talk about the history and variants of the phenomenon that inspired the Satanic Panic. Will also shares how the role-playing aspect is something he'll be using as a therapist.    Geeks of the week include Art's Krypto Current (must) See, Will's hopeful news on Team Cherry's video game, Silk Song, and Robbie's marking the end of an AOL era. Roll the polyhedral dice and listen to this one. It's got a very high baud rating.

Ian welcomes back author Ben Beard to discuss his latest, best, and most personal book, Four Horses, Seven Seals!Continuing his tradition of mixing autobiography with the pop culture that helped shape his life, Ben's latest work examines three bizarre totems from the year 1990: DC Comics' The Sandman, Depeche Mode's "Violator" album, and Adrian Lyne's film, Jacob's Ladder (which the guys review in moderate depth).While investigating the odd connections between these three works, Ben delves further into his own troubled journey to adulthood and falling out with religion. He also discovers cosmic coincidences involving the rise and fall of Elvis Presley's stepbrother, the Satanic Panic of the 1980s, and the twisted celestial visions of William Blake--all with the author's trademark blend of humor, horror, and relatability.In this wide-ranging interview, Ian and Ben talk about book's three main pillars; getting creative with chapter notes; the controversy surrounding Sandman author Neil Gaiman; and how 1990 presaged the next millennium's splintering of our collective consciousness!Four Horses, Seven Seals is now available on Amazon.

Í byrjun níunda áratugar varð vart undarlegrar vænisýki sem breyddist frá úthverfum Bandaríkjanna og var skyndilega á allra vörum. Það var hið svokallaða "Satanic Panic" sem sumir telja undanfara QAnon. Hræðslan beindist öll inn á við. Kenningar flugu um að Dungeons og Dragons hlutverkaspilið væri verkfæri Satans. Tölvuleikir voru að sækja í sig veðrið á þessum tíma og spilasalir spruttu upp. Hræðslan beindist einnig að þeim en þó virtust hörðustu samsæriskenningasmiðir sammála um að þarna væri Satan saklaus.

When a single poem transformed Satan from a minor biblical character into a horned, pitchfork-wielding supervillain, it sparked centuries of hysteria that would culminate in 1980s America imprisoning innocent people for imaginary crimes against children who "remembered" flying teachers and underground tunnels that never existed.CORRECTION TO THE EPISODE: While angels are often depicted with wings, the Bible doesn't consistently portray them this way. I said the bible does not describe angels with wings, but that is incorrect. Some angelic beings, like cherubim and seraphim, are described with wings (e.g., in Exodus 25:20, Ezekiel 10:5-7, and Isaiah 6:2-7), but other angels appear in human form without any mention of wings (e.g., Genesis 18-19, Hebrews 13:2).Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast = https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: Hollywood portrays Satan as everywhere - controlling world leaders, possessing pastors, inhabiting Ouija boards and children's toys. Yet Satan appears only a handful of times in the Bible. The horned, red devil we picture comes not from scripture but from a poem. Most Satanists don't even worship the devil. While Satan poses real danger, we often give him too much credit - blaming him for our bad choices or wild conspiracy theories. Still, some cases make you wonder about his true influence. What does Satan really look like? What's behind 666? Do people kill in his name? Are certain places under Satanic influence? We explore it all.ABOUT WEIRD DARKNESS: Weird Darkness is a true crime and paranormal podcast narrated by professional award-winning voice actor, Darren Marlar.

In Episode 317: Satanic Panic and MK Ultra, we have the pleasure of speaking with Matt, a member of the Quinney family. The Quinney family went through hell when their father, Melvin Quinney, was wrongfully accused and convicted of being a satanic cult leader who abused children. Matt shares with us how the events unfolded, how he and his siblings found out the truth about their father, and what they are doing now to exonerate Melvin. During our conversation, Matt also discusses his mother's mental illness, which played a part in his father being locked away for many years. As he reveals more details about his mother, the topic of MK Ultra surfaces and will leave you wondering if the Quinneys' unfortunate situation stems from an even darker origin. Matt's conversation extends over a two parts, first as a public episode (Episode 317), and also as an Overtime episode. Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.
