Satanic Panic is a Brutal New Slasher Series Explores the Real Horror Behind America’s REAL “Satanic Panic”

Posted on by Leave a comment

What happens when fear itself becomes the most dangerous monster in town? Move over Geraldo, Mad Cave Studios invites readers back to one of the most paranoid chapters in American history with Satanic Panic, a relentless new four-issue horror series that blends classic slasher terror with the most hysterical media frenzy of the 1980s.

Written by Ringo and GLAAD Media Award winner Matt Miner and art by Clayton McCormack, with colors by Oliver Mertz, letters by Matt Krotzer, and haunting cover art by Clayton McCormack—featuring variant covers B, C, and D by Justin Coffee—Satanic Panic delivers a blood-soaked mystery where paranoia spreads faster than the body count. 

A sleepy 1980s town is stalked by a masked slasher at the height of the Satanic Panic, where every heavy metal record, Dungeons & Dragons campaign, and teenage outsider is treated as evidence of devil worship. As fear spreads and bodies pile up, three local misfits become the prime suspects in a series of gruesome murders.

Join D&D geeks and Ozzy enthusiasts Naz, Sal, and Terry as they race to clear their names, survive an increasingly blood-soaked town, and unmask the real killer before paranoia claims more innocent lives. But in a community eager to blame the weird kids, proving their innocence may be deadlier than facing the murderer.

Dark Sky, Snowfort + Ted Geoghegan Re-team for Satanic Panic

Posted on by

TGProductionPhoto1Dark Sky Films and Snowfort Pictures have announced they will team with director Ted Geoghegan on Satanic Panic, the follow-up to his critical and commercial horror hit We Are Still Here.

We Are Still Here, Geoghegan’s debut, is a wintry haunted house tale that premiered to rave reviews at SXSW 2015 and currently has a remarkable score of 95% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. MPI released the film domestically in the fall through its genre division, Dark Sky Films and saw it quickly hit No. 1 on iTunes Horror.

The new project re-teams Geoghegan with producer Travis Stevens and Greg Newman. The original screenplay is being written by Grady Hendrix, whose recent best-selling novel “Horrorstör” is in development at Fox Television with “Gossip Girl” creator Josh Schwartz.

Satanic Panic centers on a minimum-wage delivery girl who is forced into a night-long battle with the rich and affluent leaders of a suburban community after discovering they’re part of a satanic cult. Casting will begin soon.

Geoghegan explained his goal with the action-based horror film: “Equal parts supernatural horror and survival thriller, the film hinges on smart, funny dialogue and a clever, surprisingly badass female hero. A snarky, splattery takedown of the 1%, it places a trod-upon heroine up against the literally soulless societal upper crust. The banter and blood come fast and furious, and we’re hoping to leave very little time to breathe between gasps and gags.”
