Peacock just released its latest horror series, Hysteria!, set in 1989 during the the Satanic Panic in the fictional town of Happy Hollow, Michigan. Released on October 18th, this eight-episode series blends small-town drama with supernatural elements as it follows a nerdy high schooler in a heavy metal band who goes too far in his attempts to impress a girl. The community is already on edge after a local football star is found dead under mysterious circumstances, leading to a frenzy of accusations and fear.

In this episode, we’ll dive into the pilot, discuss how Hysteria! draws on real-life events from the Satanic Panic era, and break down the performances from the star-studded cast, including Bruce Campbell, Julie Bowen, and Anna Camp. Plus, we’ll explore the nostalgic nods to '80s pop culture and see how this show stacks up against other horror series like Stranger Things. Welcome to Today’s Episode!
