History of the Satanic Panic
With the election of Ronald Reagan in 1981, the bulk of the 80s saw an increase of Christian Conservative and right-wing extremism, and with it, the rise of religious fanatics going on contemporary witch hunts to end the spread of satanism through pop culture. The Satanic Panic was a moral panic consisting of over 12,000 unsubstantiated cases of Satanic ritual abuse starting in the United States in the 1980s, spreading throughout many parts of the world by the late 1990s, and persisting today. #SatanicPanic #Demonology #GraveyardShift
