Suddenly, people blamed demons for everything. While many factors contributed to the rise of Satanic Panic, that book based on a true story, and its subsequent movie was one of the biggest single contributing factors to the phenomenon. There were a lot of things that fed the panic in the 70s, including crimes like the Manson murders and the Zodiac killer, as well as the publication of books like Anton LaVey’s The Satanic Bible and William Peter Blatty’s The Exorcist, which was turned into a blockbuster film.Īh, The Exorcist. But, also as Vox pointed out, that one got its start in the 1970s. Are we about to experience Satanic Panic 2.0? Although, as Vox pointed out, the original one that plagued the world, particularly the U.S., during the 1980s and 1990s never really ended.
