Beelzebub has visited us with a very inconvenient virus, so while we reschedule our regular BMA, here's another little peak into Tabitha's private library to tide us all over. This time: Neo-Exorcist and Lego hair pioneer Bob Larson exercises our patience.

Just for our Patreon backers, Tabitha is cracking the books and cracking the mysteries of Stonehenge. What will we learn? Well, we're talking about Mike Warnke here, so probably not much--but hey, at least it's a party.

How did a tiny Southern California school end up giving an object lesson in the dangers of mass hysteria? To help us prosecute the McMartin Preschool case, we’re joined by lawyer and YouTuber Leonard French.

Satan springs eternal, but where did he spring from? Often we see older gods and religious figures compared to Satan and held up as his supposed origins, but is this accursed ancestry legit?

In possibly our funniest episode ever, you say to-may-to and we say to-mah-to as we pick apart this pick-up manual for Satanists.

We're mad as Hell. No, really, literally this time.

We’re returning the world of Silver Screen Satanism in the days before major film censorship for some historical Hollywood heresies.

By 1988, the Satanic Panic was starting to run out of steam, so Harvest House Publishing pushed a brand new absurdo-biography tell-all to stoke its engines. Is “Satan’s Underground” the worst Satanic Panic memoir ever published–or just the worst we’ve read for this show?

When it comes to Satanic aesthetics, you know the drill. But these days, we can’t help but notice a lot of Satanic art and fashion is looking downright cute – even adorable. Artist Artetak joins us to discuss this brand of "Soft Satanism."
