About this listen

The Satanic Panic wasn’t a fringe conspiracy—it was a national movement, powered by fear, media, and the illusion of protection.

This episode of Noir Frequency traces the panic from its origin in Michelle Remembers, through the McMartin preschool trial, Dungeons & Dragons, heavy metal, horror films, and into today’s battles over books, identity, and speech.

We explore how real crimes were used to justify imagined conspiracies, how culture became the enemy, and why the instinct to censor in the name of safety never really went away—it just changed shape.

If you think the Satanic Panic is over, you’re not looking closely enough.
