If you don’t know, the "Satanic Panic" refers to a widespread moral panic that occurred in the 1980s when everyone started believing that Satanic cults were kidnapping, abusing, and murdering children in large numbers.
Among the explanations of why the panic occurred when it did, or “took the shape that it did”, include Three films that opened and ran near the beginning of the panic having to do with Satanism, namely Rosemary’s Baby (1968), The Exorcist (1973), and The Omen (1976).
According to scholar Joseph Laycock, patients hypnotized by therapists to recover memories of SRA [satanic ritual abuse], often "seemed to be recalling scenes from these films".
This is what the conspiracy theorists like to call predictive programming.
In other words, Hollywood tells you ahead of time what shenanigans Langley is cooking up.
Conveniently, the so-called memories these patients recalled were just scenes from these films.
But who’s to say these are real patients to begin with?
Given client confidentiality, there’s no way to substantiate any of these cases.
It is equally plausible that these cases were fabricated by scriptwriters who leaned too heavily on their own memories of the Hollywood films.
In fact, they may have been the same scriptwriters behind those films.
