• Ever wondered how fear and hysteria can shape an entire era? Join Lindsey and me as we take a nostalgic trip back to the 1980s, exploring the Satanic Panic and its eerie parallels to the Salem Witch Trials. We share our own childhood experiences during this time, shedding light on how fundamentalist beliefs and sensational media figures like Geraldo Rivera sparked a nationwide frenzy. Discover the real-life consequences of this moral panic, including false accusations and wrongful imprisonments, all because of misunderstood music tastes and fashion choices.

Next, we unravel the enigmatic life of Dr. Scudder, a former co-director of the infamous MKUltra program who chose a radically different path in rural Georgia. Tune in as we chronicle his journey from experimenting with LSD in the city to building a self-sufficient mini-mansion known as Corpsewood Manor with his partner Odom. Their life as self-proclaimed Satanists and the ensuing cultural clash with the local community set the stage for a suspenseful and tragic story, all while painting vivid pictures of their unique lifestyle and eerie home.

Finally, we bring you the haunting tale of the violent robbery and murders at Corpsewood Manor. Hear about the twisted motives of Tony West and Avery Brock, who mistakenly believed they would find riches and instead left a trail of bloodshed. We also discuss the aftermath, including the capture and trial of the perpetrators, stained by their alleged occult connections. Closing on a lighter note, we reminisce about a memorable band encounter at Gain Street Fest and share our excitement for future episodes, especially the upcoming deep dive into the McMartin Preschool Trial. Tune in and join us on this thrilling exploration of true crime and music.
