Happy Halloween! On this week's episode we open with a brief discussion on the Satanic Panic of the 1980's and the West Memphis Three, followed by the true crime behind the movie Black Circle Boys, the case of the Acid King, Ricky Kasso. We realized this was no dream, so we got into Rosemary's Baby. Our source material for The Black Cat was from the amazing new book Universal Studios Monsters: A Legacy of Horror by Michael Mallory. No episode on the occult would be complete without a mention of Aleister Crowley and Anton La Vey, who were the sources of inspiration for The Devil Rides Out and The Devil's Rain, two of our favorites. We also discuss The Mephisto Waltz, The House of the Devil, Satanic Panic, The Dinner Party, the horror-comedy The Babysitter, and get finish strong with the hidden symbolism in the one of the scariest films of the last decade, Hereditary!
