In order to be a coherent, up with the current events adult during this time period, you would need to be at least 25+ in 1980. Which means you’re 68 or older. People that were young adults in the 80’s are now pushing 70 years old….

I dunno. Seems like some died in the Tylenol scare. If I remember right some guy was putting cyanide in Tylenol capsules. At that time “tamper proof” anything really didn’t exist. You just unscrewed the lid and pulled out a cotton ball. After the Tylenol thing, that’s when they started using tamper proof bottles if I remember right.

There was a serial rapist in BR in the mid-80's as I recall. Had all the ladies in Hickory Ridge/Shenandoah on edge.

Reagan as President scared TF out of lots of folks...
"My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes."

The Widespread Panic of Athens, Georgia started in the 80s. Still going today.

Quicksand is a good one. Thank you Princess Bride!

I can’t even imagine what the Devil worshiper (I remember it well) stuff would have been like if Facebook or Next door would have existed back then. Every cop would have been on the lookout for the neighborhood goth kid.
As a 80’s kid the one that scared me the most was nuclear war. That movie The Day After fricked a lot of kids (and adults) up.
Later 80’s early 90’s AIDS became more in play. My mom was terrified some skank was going to give me the HIV.
