The Devil Music: On December 6th of 1987, James Hardy and two douche bag friends, killed a kitten as a sacrifice to Satan, but were disappointed when the dark lord didn't manifest for them, so they upped the anty by clubbing to death one of their friends named Steven Newberry, in the secluded woods of Carl Junction, Missouri. When they were caught, they said that they couldn't help themselves because they were taken over by demons in heavy metal music... this kind of satanic panic bullshit became the cultural scapegoat during the revival of religious rightwing conservatives in the 1980's. The FBI spent millions of taxpayer dollars investigating suposed "rings of satanic cults that were killing babies"... zero were found, but the Reagan administration used the urban myth as fuel to defund support for the arts throughout the country. #babettebombshell #superstition #religion #criticalthinking #rationalthought #rationality #skepticism #satanicpanic #cenorship #religiouscults #religiousintolerance #urbanlegend #fortean #xfiles
