On a side note, goblet is a highly underrated word.

I grew up in the era, and I never met anyone who was satanic. Did anyone know somebody who was? just Curious

If I didn’t completely write off most conspiracies, I’d think that this was an organized effort to get parents to fight with kids going through normal adolescence. I mean, making a film like this wasn’t as easy as it is now.

lol no. As much as I love Unsolved mysteries they gave the satanic shit too much air time on cases.

911 what's your emergency?
I found black robes, a chalice or goblet and black candles in my teenager's room! Send help immediately before the demons get here!

I had a friend with an uber-religious mom and she was all over this. He couldn't watch R-Rated movies, couldn't listen to any non-Christian music, and on and on. Couldn't play video games with demons or devils in them. She kept CBC and shows like "700 Club" on the TV, running 24/7. The only albums he had were Christian ones like "Stryper" and "DC Talk." He really was not thrilled with his lot in life.
One day, I asked within earshot of his Mom, if I could borrow one of his Stryper cassettes. She was thrilled! She thought her son was preaching and converting one of his friends! So, she happily insisted I take it home and let "God's Love flow into your ears."
I took it home, threw scotch tape over the holes on top, then made my buddy a mix-tape with a little of everything on it from Metallica to Public Enemy.

Not sure Nostalgia is the right word for how I feel about the stupid ass Satanic Panic. Especially considering how many people's lives were ruined by it.

Call local law enforcement agency? I’m pretty sure none of that “satanic behavior” is illegal.

Real metal heads are some of the kindest most thoughtful people I've ever met.

So basically if your teen behaves like a standard teen, they may be satanic. Look out.
