Just a reminder, the satanic panic was triggered by a discredited psychological theory (recovered memories) posited by a psychiatrist that saw no problems marrying one of his patients.

Also fun fact, a lot of QAnon satanic panic garbage is a mixture of this and antisemitic tropes. Basically a bunch of idiots mad that society stopped caring about this in the 90s.
