Widespread Panic peaked for me in the early 90s.
Razor blades in candy goes back to the 70s at least.
Devil worship was completely overblown but The Son of Sam did prove it was a thing.
Cyanide was indeed a real thing. Killing indiscriminately like that to get to one person is another kind of evil.

I had a shorter version but it left off too much.
He got into the edgy Satan stuff, read incantations from the necronomicon in some old satanic church in the woods, heard the literal voice of satan, went back to the church later and it had vanished without a trace, and sold his soul, had his music dreams fulfilled and became famous but also became a monster beyond what he could ever imagine. He's pretty regretful and shook up about it. That's just the story straight from him.
I just watched the segment. At no point did he say anything about selling his soul to satan or crediting satan for his music career. It's a story about reading a scary book in the dark and getting freaked out and then went back the next day and the place was gone, very spooky story from a professional story-teller and entertainer, wearing eye liner and lipstick in this paid interview.
ETA- The necronomicon isn't a real book. It's a legend spawned from a Lovecraft book.

This may have been a local one but there was a Halloween in the early 80’s where the locals were very concerned about LSD in Halloween candy.

Many books both part of and not part of the Lovecraft mythos have been made called the Necronomicon. A Necronomicon was published in 1972 before the Lovecraft revival when he was still a forgotten unknown pulp writer.

HIV infections. One other concern from my aunt and uncle was that they traveled a lot. Once they had their hotel room, my uncle would count paces from his room to the nearest stairwell in case of a hotel fire. Seemed a bit obsessive back then but maybe it was a good practice ?

Yes. Resulted in change of propellants in deodorant, hairspray, but most notably in asthma inhalers. They were generic and cheap. Like $6-8 cheap. Walmart had one on there $4 list. It only had half the sprays, but still it was $4. Now they're like $50-80 and the hole in the ozone had cleared on it's on before the change was made. And the new propellants are shite. Hydroflourocarbons were the CO/CO2 of their time. Hole in the ozone was gonna kill us all with unfiltered sunshine. Keep yourself inside, use SPF 1000 sunscreen, get fat, white and vitamin D deficient for the coming COVID pandemic that was most likely to kill fat people with low vitamin D.

The line between fact and fiction was further blurred in the late 1970s when a book purporting to be a translation of "the real" Necronomicon was published. This book, by the pseudonymous "Simon," had little connection to the fictional Lovecraft Mythos but instead was based on Sumerian mythology. It was later dubbed the "Simon Necronomicon"
quote:
A hoax version of the Necronomicon, edited by George Hay, appeared in 1978 and included an introduction by the paranormal researcher and writer Colin Wilson. David Langford described how the book was prepared from a computer analysis of a discovered "cipher text" by Dr. John Dee. The resulting "translation" was in fact written by occultist Robert Turner, but it was far truer to the Lovecraftian version than the Simon text and even incorporated quotations from Lovecraft's stories in its passage
I don't even understand this. "Hoax" Necronomicons? Since when is a work of of fiction called a hoax? Are they really saying that the spells don't actually work? There could be a real Necronomicon somewhere? Why are they using hoax instead of plagiarism, fanfiction?
Regardless it is clear that there have been and are books of spells called the Necronomicon. They do exist.

that still unsolved? It was a nationwide panic in the early 80’s, but the deaths were all limited to the Chicago area.
They know who did it (a man and 2 women)but they can't prove it. All 3 say the exact story. The retired detective I talked to told me that he and other detectives believe that if the guy were to die first that the 2 women would place blame on him.

This one was real and it was crazy. Read up on the McMartin pre-school case. A modern case of the Salem with trials.
