Decades on, I'm still fascinated by it, although really Qanon is actually just another variant. Americans really do love an -ism as enemy: socialism, communism, terrorism, satanism...
Several years back I put together a screening at an artist run centre in Canada, as part of an exhibition I was working on, called At War With Satan!. You might enjoy it.
Also, there's a really great documentary that came out a year or so back called Satan Wants You, about the book that really kicked that moral panic off: Michelle Remembers. Highly recommend.
Thanks Jamie! I will check out that doc for sure. If you're from Canada, you might like this weeks episode of Abandoned Albums, it's Dave Diamond from the band The Kings. :) Thanks for the note.
Omg I was there. My aunts wrote to my mother, having been made aware
of my love for AC/DC and too
much black eyeliner, to warm her
of the danger I was in. Thank the pagan gods my mom had left Oklahoma and been baptized by the spirit of independent thinking. She was and remains a woman of faith. And she’s never worried about my soul, and believe me I tried to make her worry. I was so lucky. But my aunts and uncles are
still worried about my afterlife. Makes a lady proud!
