When I was about 10 years old in 1984, I enjoyed reading fantasy stories. These books often had pictures of dragons, knights, etc on the cover. One day at my day care facility, one of the staff members suddenly grabbed my arm from behind, pulled me hard, and snatched my book away. She said it was a “dungeons and dragons” book and that I was worshipping Satan. She had an enraged look in her eyes. For a moment, I thought I was going to have to fight for my life against an adult. It was insane and scary. I was made to sit in the corner the rest of the day. I did not go back to that facility, but it was never clear to me whether I had been banned or if my mother (who was not happy about this, to say the least) simply took me out. This experience had quite an effect on me and I had a cautious and very suspicious attitude toward adults thereafter.
i had forgotten about the dungeons and dragons "fad" and also "Magic The Gathering" cards....idiots act the way that staff member treated you--it's paranoia too and fear. There was a school in new york state that had a sort of witch hunt due to something like this. The whole town got involved. It all started with a parent's accusations that a teacher was using some type of witchcraft. Hysterical fear.
I had the misfortune to be rostered in a SDA school when I was about seven or eight. One fine day, the teacher stood in front of the class and held up a little model smurf. He then announced that anybody caught with one of these would be punished and sent home, as they were tools of the devil sent to corrupt our malleable little minds. I was never caught, though. I guess my Dark Lord was watching over me that day 😇
They used to hire people with little to no moral fiber to teach in public schools. For over a decade, I've witnessed the types of characters one would see at a carnival side show to subway-mumblers.. it's like they'd grab them from the street and suddenly they're teaching literature to your kids. When the withdrawal is over, they'll be tweaking, glass eyed and irritable. Known for throwing large objects impulsively which is good because they won't act so sleepy all day. I really wonder what their eligibility criteria was for teachers bc no way every one of those creeps earned a Masters.

Fascinating topic. I was alive during Satanic Panic and it definitely influenced my childhood. I’d probably compare it more to the “Q” phenomenon than “cancel culture.” It had more of a conspiracy aspect to it rather than a piling-on of mistakes.
That’s fair. I believe, however, that “cancel culture,” or stuff peripheral to it, *does* drift into conspiracy theory territory at certain points. It just doesn’t put any central power at the core of the conspiracy (as QAnon does), but exaggerates the relevance of certain cultural trends and finds evidence of those trends under every rock and branch. The Satanic Panic, as long as you leave out Satan, seems to have been over claims of a similarly diffuse trend. Also, QAnon seems to be limited to a fairly narrow group of people, whereas the Satanic Panic as well as “cancel culture” have been far more mainstream phenomena.
QAnus is the evolved version of Satanic Panic. It started with sexual abuse scandals but it was eventually adapted and modified by conservative-leaning and Rightwing pundits.
@@brianmeen2158 There's definitely no elements of moral panic relating to cancel culture and the current obsession with identity in Western culture at all........
Totally unrelated to the video: when Dr. Grande reached 1 million subscribers he should do a closet tour. I am very curious to know how many shirts he owns lol
Even Dungeons and Dragons wasn't safe from Satanic Panic in the late 80's. My family became very concerned that my friends and I would spend hours roleplaying with the devil.
The stepdad of a friend of mine thought D&D was satanic. One day we were playing and he had to call home, so we started making “Ohm” sounds and announcing sacrifices. Pity his stepdad couldn’t hear.
And I remember that the social pressure to speak out against all the crazy abuse claims was tremendous. I remember hearing about the macmarten daycare case and initially being horrified but eventually questioning how all these claims could even be possible. Yet I was afraid to speak out publicly about my doubts because I might be accused of being cold-hearted in that I wouldn't believe children who were abused. So I chose very judiciously who I spoke to about it - I remember at the time my mother helping me express my feelings about it. I trusted her not to think I was a monster for questioning the claims.
My kids attended a preschool where I live. There was a false accusation of one of the teachers. It was devastating. Long story but it’s proven the accuser lied (parent).
@Turtle Riley It is, but the motivation is sexual gratification, not ritual. And the perpetrators are mostly family members acting alone. Ritual abuse is a myth.
@@Mama_Bear524 A friend of mine is a teacher, and is somewhat annoyed at being recorded all day, everywhere in the school, with cameras. But for me, that would be a very welcome thing - can't accuse me of something if I'm on camera all day. It's an extreme solution, but, growing up during the "Satanic panic" years, knowing how mass hysteria can quickly get out of control, I'd feel much safer and more comfortable knowing that I was being recorded, if I were a school teacher.
Same here, all forms of "cancellation" are used by smelly idiots who want to be the thought police. I live in the bible belt so I saw it a lot growing up.
I had friends who called themselves neo-Pagans in the 80s and 90s. I went with them to a lecture at Leicester University in England. When we arrived, the lecture had been cancelled due to public pressure and we were threatened with death by the local Christians who believed us to be Satanists. We camped in a field and had events there instead. The local paper denounced us, saying they didn't want us but bragged about how Leicester welcomed strangers with a great deal of warmth. It soon became clear what kind of warmth they had in mind. A paper published a letter which ruminated:''What should we do with witches? Some might say we should put them on probation.Others would suggest a community supervision order but I say we should burn them at the stake.'' On another jaunt our camp site was infiltrated by undercover reporters who exposed named individuals in the tabloid press. Many lost their jobs and some had strokes or heart attacks because of the stress. There had been children present. They came to no harm. Considering what we now know about certain Christian churches, we can see the populace was looking in the wrong place for child abuse. Marianne
My oldest child was born in the 1980s and entered part time daycare during that time. I was a relatively young parent (18 at her birth) and a little naive and idealistic. I was shocked by the atmosphere in daycares at the time - all the paranoia on part of the parents and all the defensiveness on the part of the daycare workers. Because she was my first child, this was my first parental experience with child care workers. I'm so glad we're having public conversations about this moral panic. My father was a psychologist, retired in the 1980s. I remember him lambasting the notion of recovered memory syndrome, telling me a lot of clinicians practicing it were likely doing more harm than good. At the time I didn't know what to think as I was younger and inexperienced. Now I understand more and see my father's critique was probably accurate.
Interesting. My dad always puts down psychologists/psychiatrists for basically that reason but now I’m thinking that it stemmed from this time. I remember all through the 90’s (born in 81) how teachers weren’t allowed to or just very wary to hug kids etc. It has had long lasting effects. On many different levels.
@@michelesmith2620 Agreed. I was a Hebrew teacher for twelve years. Most I ever did with a student was shake their hand on the day of their bar or bat mitzvah. That's it.
Just throwing it out there, In *Turkey*, being a child in early *2000s*, I was absolutely terrified of being abducted by a satanist cult. Maybe we got the whole thing a little later :D
@@ohaRega When I was a kid, people told us that mutilated animals were "sacrifices" done by Satanic cults, when in reality they were just roadkill or carcasses left by coyotes, bobcats, other wild animals, etc., and/or dead animals in the summer time whose carcasses bloated and burst from decomposition/trapped gasses. Everything was "Satan" in those days, even natural events like animal activity.
Oh Dr. G! "They were fascinated that a patient could repeat their own words back to them. That's setting the bar pretty low." I spit coffee all over my lap. Once again. You have the most incredible dry wit Dr. G. Thanks for all you do for all of us.
I remember in my late teens wanting to apply for a job at daycare center. I never applied as my parents warned me about the risks of false accusations, and the possibility of people dropping off injured children to then blame the care givers. So sad for good, honest people that want to care for children.
@@iand4374 there's also the Dale Akiki case in San Diego - that poor man went thru hell and back - he has since passed away, but from all accounts he moved on without bitterness and was apparently an awesome person, just because he looked different I think at the time, sealed his fate
I recently applied for a 'housecleaning' job and at the interview in the home a child, about 1 year old was there and the home was not 'babyproofed' regarding loose electric cables, rickety stair railings and toys and glasswares all mixed together throughout the home etc. They asked me if I would provide 'babysitting' as well, during the housecleaning hours (me and child left alone in the home). I said no and didn't take the job.
I remember those days. Dungeons and Dragons, rock and roll, "back masking," "repressed" memories "uncovered," my babysitter having sex with me inside a pentagram drawn on the floor with blood--wait a second...
Yes, I've been listening to punk and metal since the mid-80s, played roleplaying games as a teen and I've watched a ton of "video nasties". I haven't killed anyone, I don't worship Satan and I have never been a drug addict....to this day I wonder what I was doing wrong, as nothing seemed to work!?!?!
Yeah; all the role players I knew were doing it mid week as a social thing. They were not the same teenagers smoking pot and drinking to unconshisousness. Hell this cohort of teens were more pure than "hillsong christians". Appoligies for my spelling; dyslexic for life.
@@richardsmith748 Very true. I never had money for alcohol and drugs when I was a kid....I spent all my money on "satanic" records, comics and "disgusting" videos.
@@BlueDemon77 I know a few ex-hillsong members here. They had to spend a fortune as teen's to remain in the "fellowship". I still remember those santanic records. ACDC for ever...
Even in the 2000s when I was growing up, I wasn't allowed to watch Pokemon or read Harry Potter because they were "Satanic". I missed out on a lot of normal childhood experiences because my mom never let go of the Satanic Panic.
I know that this video is very old, but I discovered it today for the first time, and it is amazing. Dr. grande was able to summarize years, and years of thoughts in two minutes of speech thank you, and you help me relive my childhood.
Thanks to Dr Grande, instead of crippling insomnia induced anxiety, I can now just relax to such classics as Satanic Panic and Ed Gein: origins of modern Visual Arts. I'm not kidding either, being in GMT+10, the feeling of closeness to our humble Protector of Cacti knowing he's uploading more fabulous content at that very moment, more than makes up for the restlessness one feels watching the sunrise.. Again. Seriously, thanks for the hard work Dr Grande.
I am really sorry that you're experiencing anxiety at the level where it interrupts your sleeping. I've suffered from anxiety off and on and it's a really hard thing to deal with. I hope you can start getting some good sleep soon. Take care!
@@TheTam0613 Aw, well thanks Tam. 🖤 I feel a bit bad, because I didn't want my comment to be a downer. Haha, but yeah, I can see how it may come off that way. Well the good news is it's been improving with professional treatment, which I urge anyone (if capable) to try out if they believe they might have a mood disorder. Thank you again. :) And I hope you have less frequent episodes as well.
I wasn't born yet when this "satanic panic" was occurring, but it always strikes me as so bizarre when people think that the answer to anything is Satan. As always, thank you greatly for this fantastic break down! I always look forward to your videos and appreciate how hard you work. Take care, Dr. Grande!
agreed. it seems to me that satan has been used as a scapegoat by some people...an example of ignorance/misused fantasy winning against logic and reason
Guessing which plants are gonna be on screen in the video before I hit play has become one of my favorite little games to play each time I get that Dr. Grande notification. 😂
Thanks, Dr. Grande! I was one of your viewers who requested this, and I'm glad I did, I learned a lot. I recognized a lot of similarities to those times and the "cancel culture" conspiracies of today, and I was a kid when it happened. It felt like the adults truly believed in fairy tales. Take care of yourself and your cacti. I tended my wild yard cacti today.
Excellent rundown of this topic, but honestly, this could be a long series of full-length documentaries. There's so much to this that really speaks to human nature.
I remember coming home from high school ('86-'87) and my mom was watching Oprah who had a guest on talking about being in a cult and sacrificing babies and drinking blood, etc. Nobody on the show questioned her claims. So much of this was accepted as a given back then.
Look up Little Rascals day care trial. It was in North Carolina where I was a very little kid at the time. It was very similar to the McMartin trial. Coached testimony, "repressed memories", etc. The accused eventually had their convictions reversed as well.
oh right...that's one too! i had forgotten about that one. Nothing like the damage that gossip and rumors can cause. It's like a rotten game of "telephone".
"They were fascinated someone could repeat their own words back to them... If they had gotten access to a tape recorder they could've entertained themselves for hours." 😂
I think he can focused on the more modern version of Chris, you know after 2018 when he started to believe in the merge and love quest complete by marrying Mewtwo, Rosechu, magichan,
Early 90s my mom was paranoid about this stuff. I had to hide my albums and my friend would sneak me Metal Edge magazines. No worries, I’d get my room searched and it would be thrown away. Womp womp. Thank god she didn’t stay obsessed with it forever lol
@@Thechangelingpnw I didn't dare listen to Slayer at home either. She did like some Led Zeppelin tho. I'm a Black Man too so it really got weird. Its her fault for introducing me to the blues which turned into ACDC and it was on from there. 🤘🏾
New photos of our doctor on his channel's site! 👍 It's an old saying, that in may everything becomes fresh and new. It's only April, but doctor always leads the crowd! lol 😊
This is an interesting topic as the Easter holiday approaches Doc. I try to stay grounded when I hear about this stuff. In the gospels, Satan tempted Christ three times - not with demons but with scripture . Blessings to you all!
There are so many stories I could tell about this. As an academic who studied history, you often need to remind yourself, "these people did not know this was The Age of Enlightenment," no one ever woke up and said "I am living in the Colonial period".....When I first read the phrase, "Satanic Panic" as an adult it was in reference to the WM3 case. I had one of those moments, ok I lived through "Satanic Panic" without knowing it had a name and would be assigned to a period of time. I had an extremely fundamentalist Southern Baptist mother, who found an even more obsessive religious group to commiserate with outside of our church. Some examples: I was not allowed to go to arcades or to anyone's house if they had video games because Satan could use them to get into your mind. I was not allowed to see ET bc my mother believed "Extra Terrestrial" meant that the creature was from Hell and "they" were trying to make him cute so the devil would be appealing. Also, Don't forget the whole Proctor and Gamble witch hunt over the moon and stars symbols. Mother was disabled and a single parent, so money was a problem. She threw everything in our house in the trash that had a Proctor and Gamble label because of the so called "witchcraft" symbol and we could not afford to replace everything. The Shining - yes, I was at my best friend's house one night, she was raised by her aunt who was even worse than my mother, and we had to get on our knees in her aunt's living room and ask God for forgiveness because we invited Satan into her home because we were watching that movie. The reason we chose The Shining is because it wasn't a "demon" themed film. That same friend was not allowed to read Lord of the Flies (required) in high school, because it was a synonym for the devil. I could go on, but I am taking up too much space as it is. I will say, my church was not quite as extreme as my mother was as an individual, but I can recall our youth group being taken to hear Mike Warnke several times. He advertised himself as former Satanist - Born Again Christian who assisted the FBI with rooting out the occult. For anyone who enjoys charlatans, he is worth googling, and these are the type of people the adults were encouraging us to look to for guidance.
Yup, I have met people who underwent hypnosis and now of all of a sudden they have past lives or they remember alien abductions or molestations . I tried to tell them they are false memories.
Do you mean accusations of the recovered memories being false? Because that's the literal interpretation of how you articulated your comment. Or accusations formed on the basis of "repressed" memories that are actually false memories. Sorry to be pedantic, but we need to be precise with our speech on this one. Hope you're having a nice Easter btw
Let me start by saying, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. You offer an educated, reasoned approach to mental health, which I very much appreciate. There might be a thing though... cancel culture. A far more apt comparison to the Satanic Panic of the 80’s is today’s Quanan believers. Both complete bullshit, fed by evangelicals. Cancel culture has it’s own problems, to be sure, but Dr. Grande, you bring it up a lot in your videos, when other social aspects of culture are more comparable to the topic of the video. Just a thought from an appreciative fan. ☺️
For those who may have a deeper interest into how psychotherapy can help constructing false memories I would like to suggest the following books: Ofshe, Richard & Watters, Ethan (1994): Making Monsters. False Memories, Psychotherapy and Sexual Hysteria. New York. and: Loftus, Elizabeth & Ketcham, Katherine (1994): The Myth of the Repressed Memory: False memories and Allegations of sexual abuse. There had been a big debate taken place back in the 90ties. Quite shocking and also very thrilling, not only for people with interest in counseling and psychotherapy.
Now I am glad that I was in the Navy in the early to mid 1980s. I served aboard submarines. Underwater you were lucky to get about 15 minutes worth of news daily.
In Canada the book called 'Michele Remmbers' by the late the psychiatrist Lawrence Pazder was published in 1980. In university one of my professors told us about the trainings on Satanic Panic during the 80s that he had attended as a social worker. Dr. Lawrence Pazder was the one who coined the term Ritual Abuse and was seen as an expert. Dr. Pazder was even used as an court export in trials in California. Both Dr. Pazder and Michele Smith ended up leaving their spouses and married each other.
as you were discussing satanic panic, it was setting off these alarms in my head about cancel culture today. so i completely agree with you! (i don’t always 😉) just reached the social psychology/psychological disorders units in school and it was a BREEZE thanks to your videos! last summer i watched a lot of your early YT videos, and it’s all paying off now!!
Geraldo Riveras' Satanic Panic episodes were far more engaging than anything currently on the View, or the Talk. Sad commentary on today's culture when you get nostalgic for a time period you didn't especially like. Thanks Dr G
Kansas City serial killer Bob Berdella had just been arrested, and authorities were trying to pin this on satanism. He was evil, that's for sure, but AFAIK he was not a satanist.
Even if you don't believe in a devil or God's, there are people that do and it effects you whether you think it does or not. Powerful people worship beings that may or may not exist.
As a teenager at the time, we laughed about how ridiculous it all was, but this gives me such a different view of what was going on around our oblivious adolescent selves.
Once again, another great video! I’ve gotta ask, could you do a video on the characters & breakdown of the South Korean manhwa “Killing and Stalking?” Would love to hear your analysis! 🥺
Satanic Panic never ended. I just came from another video where the entire comments section was just utter stupidity, paranoia, ignorance, irrationality and insanity.
Big fan dr grande!!!! Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷 please do a analysis on Frank Underwood from house of cards and homelander from the boys!!!! Thanks for your work!
I remember this time so well. People burning rock albums, it was frightening to say the least. Ah,I see the big fella is missing again tonight. Loving the table arrangement. Thank you so much for the video 😊🌺🏵⚘🌵
Born in 1983 I had reoccurring nightmares about being forced into an underground tunnel by a creepy old moonshiner when o was a child. My parents watched the news a lot Makes sense now 😂
The graffiti in the caves near where I grew up was blamed on "Satanists" when I was a kid. We were told that they had their Satanic rituals down there. Wild times. In reality, high school kids would smoke weed down there now and then, but that's about it.
Dr. Grande, consider a sequel to this video about the other part of 80s satanic panic/cancel culture: the movement to get rid of Dungeons and Dragons and heavy metal music because it supposedly caused teen suicide and satan worship.
Ohhh I was a young teenager during the whole satanic thing in the 80's. was bad in MA. It was nuts!!! Great topic! Love it!! ps..i was caught up right in the middle of it!
Or 😈😆 I think it was a perfect storm. The fact is sooo many kids were kidnapped from the streets or even their homes in 80s and some were tortured by sadistic psychopaths.
There is an excellent TV movie that was done about this case originally on HBO in the mid 90s. It is available here on UA-cam. Has James Woods. Absolutely terrifying. Indictment: The McMartin Trial. I'm going to go watch it again now.
Dr. Grande, If you are being held captive please move around your plants in the next video. We will send help.
We need to map out the plants locations and figure out what it means

Sick burn dr. Grande!!! I love it.
Anyone who wants the truth on this subject, and not the mainstream shill version go to Bitchute and type in INSOMNIA STREAM: SATANIC PANIC EDITION
The financial panics, the red scare, the lavender scare, the crack epidemic panic, the Satanic panic.. we will never run out of things to panic about.
The Retro Report on UA-cam discussed quite well the crack epidemic. How it was more panic then actually facts.
Definitely worth watching.

And I remember that the social pressure to speak out against all the crazy abuse claims was tremendous. I remember hearing about the macmarten daycare case and initially being horrified but eventually questioning how all these claims could even be possible. Yet I was afraid to speak out publicly about my doubts because I might be accused of being cold-hearted in that I wouldn't believe children who were abused. So I chose very judiciously who I spoke to about it - I remember at the time my mother helping me express my feelings about it. I trusted her not to think I was a monster for questioning the claims.
My kids attended a preschool where I live. There was a false accusation of one of the teachers. It was devastating. Long story but it’s proven the accuser lied (parent).
It was the modern Salem which craze.
@Turtle Riley It is, but the motivation is sexual gratification, not ritual. And the perpetrators are mostly family members acting alone. Ritual abuse is a myth.
@@Mama_Bear524 A friend of mine is a teacher, and is somewhat annoyed at being recorded all day, everywhere in the school, with cameras. But for me, that would be a very welcome thing - can't accuse me of something if I'm on camera all day. It's an extreme solution, but, growing up during the "Satanic panic" years, knowing how mass hysteria can quickly get out of control, I'd feel much safer and more comfortable knowing that I was being recorded, if I were a school teacher.
Yes, horror films and Heavy Metal music, two things that helped me through my teenage angst and other things.
And now it's nefarious cartoon characters like Pepe Le Pew turning our kids into rapists.
Same here, all forms of "cancellation" are used by smelly idiots who want to be the thought police. I live in the bible belt so I saw it a lot growing up.
But they shouldn’t help perverts, or the perverse, like you.
Steven King novels were my thing.🙃
@@busterdouglas593 Bible Belt is the worst. The Dixie Chicks know all about it.
I had friends who called themselves neo-Pagans in the 80s and 90s. I went with them to a lecture at Leicester University in England. When we arrived, the lecture had been cancelled due to public pressure and we were threatened with death by the local Christians who believed us to be Satanists.
We camped in a field and had events there instead. The local paper denounced us, saying they didn't want us but bragged about how Leicester welcomed strangers with a great deal of warmth. It soon became clear what kind of warmth they had in mind.
A paper published a letter which ruminated:''What should we do with witches? Some might say we should put them on probation.Others would suggest a community supervision order but I say we should burn them at the stake.''
On another jaunt our camp site was infiltrated by undercover reporters who exposed named individuals in the tabloid press. Many lost their jobs and some had strokes or heart attacks because of the stress.
There had been children present. They came to no harm. Considering what we now know about certain Christian churches, we can see the populace was looking in the wrong place for child abuse.

It's not just catholicism but all religions. Children are not really safe in any religious group.
I love Dr. Grande's calm, reasoned presentations
He was an idiot with his vegan talk
My oldest child was born in the 1980s and entered part time daycare during that time. I was a relatively young parent (18 at her birth) and a little naive and idealistic. I was shocked by the atmosphere in daycares at the time - all the paranoia on part of the parents and all the defensiveness on the part of the daycare workers. Because she was my first child, this was my first parental experience with child care workers. I'm so glad we're having public conversations about this moral panic.
My father was a psychologist, retired in the 1980s. I remember him lambasting the notion of recovered memory syndrome, telling me a lot of clinicians practicing it were likely doing more harm than good. At the time I didn't know what to think as I was younger and inexperienced. Now I understand more and see my father's critique was probably accurate.
Interesting. My dad always puts down psychologists/psychiatrists for basically that reason but now I’m thinking that it stemmed from this time.
I remember all through the 90’s (born in 81) how teachers weren’t allowed to or just very wary to hug kids etc. It has had long lasting effects. On many different levels.
@@Mama_Bear524 Teachers shouldn't hug kids.
@@michelesmith2620 ya.....
@@michelesmith2620 Agreed. I was a Hebrew teacher for twelve years. Most I ever did with a student was shake their hand on the day of their bar or bat mitzvah. That's it.
Thank my stars I am not a teacher. I could not do that job.
I was in my late 20s before I found out the satanic panic wasn't real. It was terrifying when I was a kid.
@UCxHyKhNZx-L4pTV39G7Kv5g Cool. Can you point to these proven events and competent witnesses?
@Auntie Kei Kei:. No offense, but are you from the southern US? It seemed to be worse there.
Sorry you went through that. It really hurt society. Glad you realized it was not real.
Just throwing it out there, In *Turkey*, being a child in early *2000s*, I was absolutely terrified of being abducted by a satanist cult. Maybe we got the whole thing a little later :D
@@ohaRega When I was a kid, people told us that mutilated animals were "sacrifices" done by Satanic cults, when in reality they were just roadkill or carcasses left by coyotes, bobcats, other wild animals, etc., and/or dead animals in the summer time whose carcasses bloated and burst from decomposition/trapped gasses. Everything was "Satan" in those days, even natural events like animal activity.
Oh Dr. G! "They were fascinated that a patient could repeat their own words back to them. That's setting the bar pretty low." I spit coffee all over my lap. Once again. You have the most incredible dry wit Dr. G. Thanks for all you do for all of us.
I remember in my late teens wanting to apply for a job at daycare center. I never applied as my parents warned me about the risks of false accusations, and the possibility of people dropping off injured children to then blame the care givers. So sad for good, honest people that want to care for children.
This is so weird. I hope you are ok now.
Are you referring to the McMartin court case?
@@iand4374 there's also the Dale Akiki case in San Diego - that poor man went thru hell and back - he has since passed away, but from all accounts he moved on without bitterness and was apparently an awesome person, just because he looked different I think at the time, sealed his fate
I recently applied for a 'housecleaning' job and at the interview in the home a child, about 1 year old was there and the home was not 'babyproofed' regarding loose electric cables, rickety stair railings and toys and glasswares all mixed together throughout the home etc. They asked me if I would provide 'babysitting' as well, during the housecleaning hours (me and child left alone in the home). I said no and didn't take the job.
@@millville I would have ran from that house too.
WOW!!! Dr Grande delivers his brilliance again, can't watch fast enough..............HERE GOES.
I remember those days. Dungeons and Dragons, rock and roll, "back masking," "repressed" memories "uncovered," my babysitter having sex with me inside a pentagram drawn on the floor with blood--wait a second...
Lol yeah and from Australia - sacrificed babies on the hill outside the city. Loads of cobwalloop. The dammage done to the community was unforgivable.
Yes, I've been listening to punk and metal since the mid-80s, played roleplaying games as a teen and I've watched a ton of "video nasties". I haven't killed anyone, I don't worship Satan and I have never been a drug addict....to this day I wonder what I was doing wrong, as nothing seemed to work!?!?!
Yeah; all the role players I knew were doing it mid week as a social thing. They were not the same teenagers smoking pot and drinking to unconshisousness. Hell this cohort of teens were more pure than "hillsong christians". Appoligies for my spelling; dyslexic for life.
@@richardsmith748 Very true. I never had money for alcohol and drugs when I was a kid....I spent all my money on "satanic" records, comics and "disgusting" videos.
@@BlueDemon77 I know a few ex-hillsong members here. They had to spend a fortune as teen's to remain in the "fellowship". I still remember those santanic records. ACDC for ever...
Even in the 2000s when I was growing up, I wasn't allowed to watch Pokemon or read Harry Potter because they were "Satanic". I missed out on a lot of normal childhood experiences because my mom never let go of the Satanic Panic.
We couldn't play Harry Potter movies on the TVs at Wal-Mart because customers would get offended.
Now we have Q, and Satanic cannibals sex trafficking.
JK Rowley said she studied the occult while writing Harry Potter so kinda
@@kellikocha7733 Occultism & Satanism are different things tho
Satanism and occultism are related. Both use magic. Stay away from anything magic associated.
I know that this video is very old, but I discovered it today for the first time, and it is amazing. Dr. grande was able to summarize years, and years of thoughts in two minutes of speech thank you, and you help me relive my childhood.
I remember how damaging that time was, child psychologists and parents had a huge role in this. Many children were taken into care.
Nice to know that the craziness we experience today has been fermenting for a long time.
Thanks to Dr Grande, instead of crippling insomnia induced anxiety, I can now just relax to such classics as Satanic Panic and Ed Gein: origins of modern Visual Arts.
I'm not kidding either, being in GMT+10, the feeling of closeness to our humble Protector of Cacti knowing he's uploading more fabulous content at that very moment, more than makes up for the restlessness one feels watching the sunrise.. Again. Seriously, thanks for the hard work Dr Grande.
I am really sorry that you're experiencing anxiety at the level where it interrupts your sleeping. I've suffered from anxiety off and on and it's a really hard thing to deal with. I hope you can start getting some good sleep soon. Take care!
@@TheTam0613 Aw, well thanks Tam. 🖤 I feel a bit bad, because I didn't want my comment to be a downer. Haha, but yeah, I can see how it may come off that way. Well the good news is it's been improving with professional treatment, which I urge anyone (if capable) to try out if they believe they might have a mood disorder. Thank you again. :) And I hope you have less frequent episodes as well.
I wasn't born yet when this "satanic panic" was occurring, but it always strikes me as so bizarre when people think that the answer to anything is Satan.
As always, thank you greatly for this fantastic break down! I always look forward to your videos and appreciate how hard you work. Take care, Dr. Grande!
agreed. it seems to me that satan has been used as a scapegoat by some people...an example of ignorance/misused fantasy winning against logic and reason
@@Mlpgirl168 right. Humans are capable of everything in the book without "outside help."
Such a great and unique topic. Killing it as always Dr. Grande.
Guessing which plants are gonna be on screen in the video before I hit play has become one of my favorite little games to play each time I get that Dr. Grande notification. 😂
Mine too!🤣
Thanks, Dr. Grande! I was one of your viewers who requested this, and I'm glad I did, I learned a lot. I recognized a lot of similarities to those times and the "cancel culture" conspiracies of today, and I was a kid when it happened. It felt like the adults truly believed in fairy tales. Take care of yourself and your cacti. I tended my wild yard cacti today.
You has free-range cacti? Woot!
I was born in 1980 and Dr. Grande, you just explained the enigma of my entire childhood in one video! Thank you for helping me to understand!
Excellent rundown of this topic, but honestly, this could be a long series of full-length documentaries. There's so much to this that really speaks to human nature.
The parallels of this with q-anon nonsense is something I've pondered having been a late teen during this "panic" era.
I remember coming home from high school ('86-'87) and my mom was watching Oprah who had a guest on talking about being in a cult and sacrificing babies and drinking blood, etc. Nobody on the show questioned her claims. So much of this was accepted as a given back then.
More people should watch this and understand how the entertainment industry can have huge impact in society
Yes! This is the one I've been waiting for. I grew up in Alabama in the 90s and my parents totaly bought into this. No Cabage Patch dolls for me!
Or Garbage Pail Kids!
Look up Little Rascals day care trial. It was in North Carolina where I was a very little kid at the time. It was very similar to the McMartin trial. Coached testimony, "repressed memories", etc. The accused eventually had their convictions reversed as well.
I remember that. I'm in NC and had forgotten about it until you mentioned it.
oh right...that's one too! i had forgotten about that one. Nothing like the damage that gossip and rumors can cause. It's like a rotten game of "telephone".
Love the new thumbnail photo and channel cover art Dr. Grande.
"They were fascinated someone could repeat their own words back to them... If they had gotten access to a tape recorder they could've entertained themselves for hours." 😂
Can you do a video on Chris Chan please, he is an internet sensation and he actually believes he has super powers
He also played a part in Shrek Retold, which is a work of fine art
then he came back to complain about mlp G5
Where would you even start? They're one of the most documented people in modern internet history
I think he can focused on the more modern version of Chris, you know after 2018 when he started to believe in the merge and love quest complete by marrying Mewtwo, Rosechu, magichan,

Changing the plants around again .love it :) Don’t think we don’t notice 👌😍😊🌷✨🙃
Early 90s my mom was paranoid about this stuff. I had to hide my albums and my friend would sneak me Metal Edge magazines. No worries, I’d get my room searched and it would be thrown away. Womp womp. Thank god she didn’t stay obsessed with it forever lol
My Mom shit when she saw my Maiden's Number of the Beast cassette. Yes, cassette. 😁
@@yasuke9317 Hahaha. Their album art was always impeccable. I found that cassette in a car we bought LOL
@@Thechangelingpnw I didn't dare listen to Slayer at home either. She did like some Led Zeppelin tho. I'm a Black Man too so it really got weird. Its her fault for introducing me to the blues which turned into ACDC and it was on from there. 🤘🏾
Brilliant analysis Dr Grande. I have nothing to add. Your analysis says it all. Thank you Dr Grande.
I can't help but think of the Salem Witch hysteria in the late 17th century. Talk about Satanic Panic!
Yeah, that's a good analogy.
What's BSG?
@@FrankBenlin It stand for "Brotherhood of St. Gregory", a religious community in the Episcopal Church. I'm a life-professed member.
@@christopherstephenjenksbsg4944 Oh, okay, thank you.
As someone from Salem, I was thinking the same!
I find Dr.Todd's videos soothing and relaxing
New photos of our doctor on his channel's site! 👍 It's an old saying, that in may everything becomes fresh and new. It's only April, but doctor always leads the crowd! lol 😊
Which site?
This is an interesting topic as the Easter holiday approaches Doc. I try to stay grounded when I hear about this stuff. In the gospels, Satan tempted Christ three times - not with demons but with scripture . Blessings to you all!
Jeez, you don’t miss a thing. I love it.
@Brandon Horror Collector That would be an interesting video.
Fantastic analysis, eloquently spoken by the beloved Dr Todd Grande!
This cracks me up because I love heavy metal.
I’m sorry, but your immortal soul is damned to the eternal fires of hell because you listened to Judas Priest. Say hi to Satan for me.
A Hell of a video, Dr. Grande! 👿👿👿
Thank you for your honesty about the role played by certain mental health professionals in all this.
There are so many stories I could tell about this. As an academic who studied history, you often need to remind yourself, "these people did not know this was The Age of Enlightenment," no one ever woke up and said "I am living in the Colonial period".....When I first read the phrase, "Satanic Panic" as an adult it was in reference to the WM3 case. I had one of those moments, ok I lived through "Satanic Panic" without knowing it had a name and would be assigned to a period of time.
I had an extremely fundamentalist Southern Baptist mother, who found an even more obsessive religious group to commiserate with outside of our church. Some examples: I was not allowed to go to arcades or to anyone's house if they had video games because Satan could use them to get into your mind. I was not allowed to see ET bc my mother believed "Extra Terrestrial" meant that the creature was from Hell and "they" were trying to make him cute so the devil would be appealing.
Also, Don't forget the whole Proctor and Gamble witch hunt over the moon and stars symbols. Mother was disabled and a single parent, so money was a problem. She threw everything in our house in the trash that had a Proctor and Gamble label because of the so called "witchcraft" symbol and we could not afford to replace everything.
The Shining - yes, I was at my best friend's house one night, she was raised by her aunt who was even worse than my mother, and we had to get on our knees in her aunt's living room and ask God for forgiveness because we invited Satan into her home because we were watching that movie. The reason we chose The Shining is because it wasn't a "demon" themed film. That same friend was not allowed to read Lord of the Flies (required) in high school, because it was a synonym for the devil.
I could go on, but I am taking up too much space as it is. I will say, my church was not quite as extreme as my mother was as an individual, but I can recall our youth group being taken to hear Mike Warnke several times. He advertised himself as former Satanist - Born Again Christian who assisted the FBI with rooting out the occult. For anyone who enjoys charlatans, he is worth googling, and these are the type of people the adults were encouraging us to look to for guidance.
“If they ever had access to a tape recorder, they could’ve entertained themselves for hours.”
LOL!
Incredibly funny joke!
So glad you did an analysis on this topic Dr Grande! I think we can all benefit from your knowledge and insight! Keep up the good work doc!💚💚
Hey there Dr. Grande! Sending a hug from Sacramento 🤗 🌹
Oh wow! I had requested this! Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
To think of the many lives destroyed by false repressed memories accusations.
And the ripple effect is how since then, it’s even harder to get authorities to believe kids
Yup, I have met people who underwent hypnosis and now of all of a sudden they have past lives or they remember alien abductions or molestations . I tried to tell them they are false memories.
@@royedwards51 so messed up.
It has made things so much harder for people who were were being abused.
Do you mean accusations of the recovered memories being false? Because that's the literal interpretation of how you articulated your comment. Or accusations formed on the basis of "repressed" memories that are actually false memories. Sorry to be pedantic, but we need to be precise with our speech on this one. Hope you're having a nice Easter btw
This analysis of what might be going on was quite an eye-opener for me. Thanks Todd.
Let me start by saying, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. You offer an educated, reasoned approach to mental health, which I very much appreciate. There might be a thing though... cancel culture. A far more apt comparison to the Satanic Panic of the 80’s is today’s Quanan believers. Both complete bullshit, fed by evangelicals. Cancel culture has it’s own problems, to be sure, but Dr. Grande, you bring it up a lot in your videos, when other social aspects of culture are more comparable to the topic of the video. Just a thought from an appreciative fan. ☺️
Thanks for approaching this not much discussed and nearly forbidden topic from such an interesting angle, Dr. Grande...it's much appreciated!
For those who may have a deeper interest into how psychotherapy can help constructing false memories I would like to suggest the following books:
Ofshe, Richard & Watters, Ethan (1994): Making Monsters. False Memories, Psychotherapy and Sexual Hysteria. New York. and:
Loftus, Elizabeth & Ketcham, Katherine (1994): The Myth of the Repressed Memory: False memories and Allegations of sexual abuse.
There had been a big debate taken place back in the 90ties. Quite shocking and also very thrilling, not only for people with interest in counseling and psychotherapy.
Anyone who wants the truth on this subject, and not the mainstream shill version go to Bitchute and type in INSOMNIA STREAM: SATANIC PANIC EDITION
This is going to be good. Thank you Dr. G💛
Now I am glad that I was in the Navy in the early to mid 1980s. I served aboard submarines. Underwater you were lucky to get about 15 minutes worth of news daily.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
I was waiting for this topic!
Yep. We have some "action" that is disproportionate to the problem nowadays, too.
In Canada the book called 'Michele Remmbers' by the late the psychiatrist Lawrence Pazder was published in 1980. In university one of my professors told us about the trainings on Satanic Panic during the 80s that he had attended as a social worker. Dr. Lawrence Pazder was the one who coined the term Ritual Abuse and was seen as an expert. Dr. Pazder was even used as an court export in trials in California. Both Dr. Pazder and Michele Smith ended up leaving their spouses and married each other.
I remember the panic over Dungeons and Dragons during that time period (thanks to the movie Mazes and Monsters).
What a beautiful and succinct (not to mention humorous - as usual) explanation. This should be aired on major news networks - starting with FOX.
Interesting again. I remember the Exorcist was pretty intense at that time. Congrats on 678,000 subs now!!🥰💐🥂🚀🎈🎉
as you were discussing satanic panic, it was setting off these alarms in my head about cancel culture today. so i completely agree with you! (i don’t always 😉) just reached the social psychology/psychological disorders units in school and it was a BREEZE thanks to your videos! last summer i watched a lot of your early YT videos, and it’s all paying off now!!
like that line if they ever had access to tape recorder they could have entertained themselves for hours-Dr Todd your sense of humour is very droll
I wish Dr Todd was my psychiatry lecturer. He alway explains things in a clear way possible and keeps topics interesting. Keep up the good work Doc
💙🙏💙 the movie, Rosemary’s Baby can be mentioned along with other movie titles 💙🙏💙
I love that I get to see Dr Grande every day. 💜
I'd like to take credit for suggesting this topic.

Great video, Dr. Grande. On a somewhat related topic, I would be interested to see a video on Michael Warnke and his alleged works.
Thank you Dr.Grande for this video, great job!
Geraldo Riveras' Satanic Panic episodes were far more engaging than anything currently on the View, or the Talk. Sad commentary on today's culture when you get nostalgic for a time period you didn't especially like. Thanks Dr G
Kansas City serial killer Bob Berdella had just been arrested, and authorities were trying to pin this on satanism. He was evil, that's for sure, but AFAIK he was not a satanist.
Dr Grande just listed most of my all time favorite horror movies. I never thought of them as true at all, just scary.
Even if you don't believe in a devil or God's, there are people that do and it effects you whether you think it does or not. Powerful people worship beings that may or may not exist.
As a teenager at the time, we laughed about how ridiculous it all was, but this gives me such a different view of what was going on around our oblivious adolescent selves.
Once again, another great video! I’ve gotta ask, could you do a video on the characters & breakdown of the South Korean manhwa “Killing and Stalking?” Would love to hear your analysis! 🥺
Satanic Panic never ended. I just came from another video where the entire comments section was just utter stupidity, paranoia, ignorance, irrationality and insanity.
Big fan dr grande!!!! Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷 please do a analysis on Frank Underwood from house of cards and homelander from the boys!!!! Thanks for your work!

Born in 1983 I had reoccurring nightmares about being forced into an underground tunnel by a creepy old moonshiner when o was a child. My parents watched the news a lot
Makes sense now 😂
The graffiti in the caves near where I grew up was blamed on "Satanists" when I was a kid. We were told that they had their Satanic rituals down there. Wild times. In reality, high school kids would smoke weed down there now and then, but that's about it.
Ohhh the similarities. This is why a sound mind is so important and philosophical mind amidst the times. Thank you!
Awe! Where is Mr. Green Jeans? ( that's the name I gave to your little tropical potted tree )
I was wondering the same thing.
Behind Dr. Grande. Can see it when he moves his right arm. It looks like tape on his shirt. 😉
Excellent video. Loved how you connected the two.
I really love to hear from you about this cult ( Children of God) . Thank you Dr. Grande 🤍
Oh, what an awful group. Yeah, a lot to dissect there but researching them might be hard. They're very secretive.
Satanic panic? Dr. Grande is a poet... I didn't know it!
Damn i couldn't start this video soon enough.
Dr. Grande, consider a sequel to this video about the other part of 80s satanic panic/cancel culture: the movement to get rid of Dungeons and Dragons and heavy metal music because it supposedly caused teen suicide and satan worship.
Ohhh I was a young teenager during the whole satanic thing in the 80's. was bad in MA. It was nuts!!! Great topic! Love it!! ps..i was caught up right in the middle of it!
Omg. How did u survive???
@@DirtySanchez943 Lol I keep saying I had to have had some kind of guardian angel LOL
Or 😈😆 I think it was a perfect storm. The fact is sooo many kids were kidnapped from the streets or even their homes in 80s and some were tortured by sadistic psychopaths.
There is an excellent TV movie that was done about this case originally on HBO in the mid 90s. It is available here on UA-cam. Has James Woods. Absolutely terrifying. Indictment: The McMartin Trial. I'm going to go watch it again now.
