Ep.347 – What Ricky Did on his Summer Vacation - Satanic Panic 1984
Summer, 1984—at the height of the Satanic Panic. Ricky is a motor-mouthed teen who wants proof the Devil is listening. In a moonlit patch of woods, a dare turns into a ritual and a killing. What follows is darker: Ricky props the body in a lawn chair with sunglasses, invites classmates to look, and turns terror into spectacle—boombox hissing, insects buzzing, and bravado curdling into dread as word spreads and the cops close in.
This isn’t a true-crime retelling; it’s a brutal horror story steeped in Acid King folklore—teen cult swagger, drugs, and a swaggering kid convinced he’s owed infernal fame. The consequences arrive in handcuffs and, at the end, a quiet, awful moment alone in a jail cell. Listener discretion advised for graphic violence, drug use, and suicide.
