"Satanic Panic" is the name of the cultural obsession with "Satanic Ritual Abuse" which originated in the United States in the 1980's with the now-discredited memoir-style book "Michelle Remembers," written by Canadians Michelle Smith and her husband, psychiatrist Lawrence Pazder. The authors made waves during the 80's by traveling the talk-show circuit and testifying as expert witnesses in criminal trials alleging Satanic abuse. The book and its author, Michelle Smith, are represented in the film as "In Satan's Name" by S. Cooper, who is shown as a TV interview subject whose face is obscured in shadow to hide her identity.
The story is set in the year 1990, the same year Emma Watson was born.
