Yes--bad fallout all over the place, from Manson to There's a Riot Goin' On and everything in between. You could spend all day listing examples, and 1973 Nervous Breakdown does.

One of them tried to invent a special foot soap (i forget which one?), but it tanked.
the doc - don't think it was a foot soap, just some kind of special industrial soap

oh man I worked at a library when When Rabbit Howls came out - I worked at the County Regional HQ shipping out books to the branches. I was so stoked that it was credited to "The Troops for Truddi Chase," such a masterstroke

http://whoyoucallingaskeptic.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/michelle-remembers-1980.jpg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Remembers
Michelle Remembers is a book published in 1980 co-written by Canadian psychiatrist Lawrence Pazder and his psychiatric patient (and eventual wife) Michelle Smith. A best-seller, Michelle Remembers was the first book written on the subject of Satanic ritual abuse and is an important part of the controversies beginning in the 1980s regarding satanic ritual abuse and repressed memory. The book has been discredited by several investigations which found no corroboration of the book's events, while others have pointed out that the events described in the book were extremely unlikely and in some cases impossible.

So what was the deal with Three or 3 Faces of Eve? Any investigative reporting on that case? Much more harrowing: sorting out truth and BS in child-abuse scandals. The once-notorious panic bubble in Jordan, Minnesota, with any truth obscured by a seemingly whack District Attorney, for inst. Then again, that amazingly zig-zag documentary about the guy who ran an after-school computer class, in the 70s I think.

Someone give me the best one to start with first. Really wish MICHELLE REMEMBERS was still in circulation :(

have you read SYBIL?
― nicest bitch of poster (La Lechera), Monday, 30 July 2012 16:57 (eleven years ago) link
lol I bought a used copy of Michelle Remembers at Powell's last month, read it in my hotel room over the next day or so, and left it there on purpose because I didn't have any more use for it & it was a totally creepy book - like so clearly a cynical made-up story that you feel like you're implicit in something gross by listening to the stories this person wants you to believe she believes are true

yeahhas anyone read LOBSTER BOY? the guy who wrote the book becomes part of the story at the end, it's crazy
― nicest bitch of poster (La Lechera), Monday, 30 July 2012 17:02 (eleven years ago) link
I mean while we're talking true crime, this is my alltime favorite -- the book has all of these letters written to William Corder from women who wanted to marry him. It's totally bonkers.

The Village Voice once published a round-up (by Richard Gehr?) of Christian horror fiction, incl at least one about parents who did not spare the rod and thus did not spoil the child, so attracted the attention of secretly Satanic social workers. This was by Roger Elwood, pretty sure (he used to flood the market with paperback-original science fiction and fantasy anthologies, finally announced he was leaving that game to the Godless)

Thanks for reminding me of Sybil Exposed. I found it completely fascinating and told all my friends to read it though none did. Some people probably think it's a simple debunking story but it really delves into many strange and creepy aspects of our recent cultural history. It would make a great choice for a book club.
What's disturbing is to read reviews of it and see people still defending the original Sybil book or at least trying to salvage some bit of truth from the whole premise of it.
I'm not sure about the veracity of the case of "Eve," but she only had three faces while Sybil claimed 16.
― Josefa, Monday, 30 July 2012 17:08 (eleven years ago) link
I remember as a kid, being inundated with "child abuse" media... lots of tv movies (I remember one about a father that sexual abused his kids but I don't remember the title), that one mini series wherein Farrah Fawcett murders her kids, Sybil, etc. I remember thinking every adult wanted to murder me and/or molest me. It was kinda creepy.
