Summary

Prepare to clutch your pearls and adjust your tinfoil hats as The Box of Oddities dives into the dark, dramatic, and downright bizarre! In this devilishly delightful episode, we explore the Satanic Panic of the 1980s, a moral hysteria that had suburban parents convinced their neighbors were secret Satan-worshiping cultists. From heavy metal album burnings to questionable daycare accusations, it’s a cautionary tale of how fear, misinformation, and a little too much daytime TV can send society spiraling into chaos. Then, we take on 666, the number that makes hotel elevators skip a floor and sends shivers down numerologists’ spines. Is it truly the “number of the beast,” or just ancient branding gone rogue? We unravel its biblical origins, occult meanings, and modern-day pop culture cameos that prove this sinister figure isn’t done stirring the pot. Dive into the madness—your ears will thank you! #TrueCrime #OccultHistory #SatanicPanic #PodcastLovers #666 If you would like to advertise on The Box of Oddities, contact [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.
