American Monsters: Tabloid Media and the Satanic Panic, 1970-2000
AMERICAN MONSTERS: TABLOID MEDIA AND THE SATANIC PANIC, 1970-2000 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Sarah A. Hughes May 2015 Examining Committee Members: Kenneth L. Kusmer, Advisory Chair, History Carolyn Kitch, Journalism Susan E. Klepp, History Elaine Tyler May, External Member, University of Minnesota, American Studies © Copyright 2015 by Sarah A. Hughes All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT “American Monsters: Tabloid Media and the Satanic Panic, 1970-2000,” analyzes an episode of national hysteria that dominated the media throughout most of the 1980s. Its origins, however, go back much farther and its consequences for the media would extend into subsequent decades. Rooted in the decade’s increasingly influential conservative political ideology, the satanic panic involved hundreds of accusations that devil-worshipping pedophiles were operating America’s white middle-class suburban daycare centers. Communities around the country became embroiled in criminal trials against center owners, the most publicized of which was the McMartin Preschool trial in Manhattan Beach, California. The longest and most expensive trial in the nation’s history, the McMartin case is an important focal point of this project. In the 1990s, judges overturned the life sentences of defendants in most major cases, and several prominent journalists and lawyers condemned the phenomenon as a witch-hunt. They accurately understood it to be a powerful delusion, or what contemporary cultural theorist Jean Baudrillard termed a “hyperreality,” in which audiences confuse the media universe for real life. Presented mainly through tabloid television, or “infotainment,” and integral to its development, influence, and success, the panic was a manifestation of the hyperreal. -

Survey of Contemporary Horror Fiction Kendyll Clark Summer II 2006
Clark 1 Survey of Contemporary Horror Fiction Kendyll Clark Summer II 2006 Clark 2 Introduction What scares you? Fear manifests in many different ways for every being on this earth. However diverse these horrific episodes may be, there is one universal element common to every human experience: We all have fears. One avenue through which we can explore, identify and even vicariously experience our most primal fears is through horror fiction. H.P. Lovecraft said: The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown. These facts few psychologists will dispute, and their truth must establish for all time the genuineness and dignity of the weirdly horrible tale as literary form (www.quotationspage.com). Coupled with Lovecraft's fear of the unknown is the fear of any threat to our fragile mortality, fear of anything that may potentially cause physical harm to our being. This is a phobia innate to every person. The most precious and frail endowment of human existence is our ability to sustain and promote our humanity. When this gift is threatened in any way, shape or form, a fear is created. There are several ways through which we can more concretely define these fears, subcategories to the dread of any danger to our delicate subsistence. For example, fear of the unexplained. This phobia can be defined as dread of that which we cannot rationalize with existing or obtainable evidence. Another is the fear of the unseen. This phobia could be described as fright of something that is intangible or concealed. -

Detroit Free Press Article About Mary Jackson Gift to The
Home | Back Actress wills pair of old homes to her hometown Milford Historical Society grateful BY STAN DONALDSON FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER October 2, 2006 As Miss Emily Baldwin on the 1970s television show "The Waltons," Mary Jackson often invited friends and neighbors to her huge Victorian home nestled in the mountains. And now after her death, Jackson's home in Oakland County will be shared by friends and strangers as the largest gift ever to the Milford Historical Society. Jackson, a native of Milford, donated her two houses in the town to the society before she died in Los Angeles from Parkinson's disease in December at age 95. This is the Milford home that actress Mary Jackson of the 1970s show "The Waltons" grew up in. Jackson The residences are on Canal Street, about five blocks from downtown Milford. bought the home in the 1970s and willed it to the Milford Historical One is the house she was born in, which dates to 1876; the other is a smaller house near Society.

Besides her role in "The She said even though the group had known about Jackson's wish to donate the property Waltons," Milford native Mary Jackson also for about 10 years, getting the home was still a surprise. -
The Demon Pazuzu As Noise in the Exorcist Michael Brown
20 The Demon Pazuzu as Noise in The Exorcist Michael Brown The Demon Pazuzu as Noise in The Exorcist Against a blackened screen blood-red lettering announces the beginning of William Friedkin’s The Exorcist (1973). But it is not only what we see that unnerves us, it is what we hear. From the very first discordant strings’ sudden transition into the adhᾱn, the Muslim call to prayer, the film creates an atmosphere of uncertainty through its innovative sound design. While sound and horror share a long- established history in the production of cinematic dread, sound in The Exorcist does more than simply prompt an emotive response or mood in audiences. Rather, by listening closely to the sonic elements of the often critically unappreciated Iraq prologue, I will demonstrate that the central evil of the narrative, the demon Pazuzu, is in fact best understood as ‘noise’. By reflecting on media theory’s concept of noise as one with affective, ontological and philosophical concerns this essay will argue for a renewed critical approach to the film, one which recognises the demon’s aural association with wind, shrieking voices, garbled language and insect drone as intimately bound to its function as a disruptive and destabilising agency. Accordingly, the possessed body of the film’s adolescent protagonist Regan MacNeil’s (Linda Blair) is aurally and visually constructed as a medium, albeit one that is immersed in noise. I will argue that a sounds studies perspective is useful in identifying a more diffuse kind of horror in The Exorcist beyond its more obvious religious anxieties and visceral special effects, one that, like the presence of noise, disturbs our ability to make sense of the world as something essentially knowable and hence, meaningful. -
CHOMPING DOWN at SHONEY's ("The Rolls-Royce of Restaurants, Dammit!") Questions by Mike Cheyne
CHOMPING DOWN AT SHONEY'S ("The Rolls-Royce of restaurants, dammit!") Questions by Mike Cheyne General instructions for players and moderators: *A lot of the answerlines here are kind of tricky. I've tried to indicate what's required, what should be prompted on, and when specific terms are required. I can't anticipate everything though, so as a moderator, try and be fairly generous (if a specific term is required, though, that's what is needed for points). *If the answerline requires a film, readers can prompt players who only give partial answers by saying "what film is that in?" For example, if the answerline is something like "the hedge maze in The Shining," and a player only says "the hedge maze," the reader should say "From what film?" in that case. PACKET ONE TU 1. In a film, the wife of a murderous movie theater owner dies because she cannot perform this action, which the Vincent Price-played Dr. Warren Chapin discovers is the only way to stop a parasite present in the bodies of all humans. This action is the only way to stop the title creature in William Castle's film The Tingler. In another movie, fictional director Carl Denham tells one of his performers to do this action "for your life" while they are on an exotic island, marking the first of many times (*) Ann Darrow does this in a 1933 film. Fay Wray's character does this action almost incessantly in the original version of King Kong. For 10 points, name this loud action which actresses in horror movies frequently do. -
