The Acid King - 2021 true crime doc

The doc covers the early 80s satanic panic around a dysfunctional teen drug dealer Ricky Kasso who killed one of his fellow teenagers in 1984. A few points of interest:


- Features Jim Van Bebber. No, he wasn't involved, but someone probably offered him some weed and so he made the whole thing more entertaining. I'm pretty sure I saw him light up there once. Find out what his religion is here.

- The happenings occur in Suffolk County, New York. This is the same place as the Amityville Horror, even drawing a brief connection to it.

- The weirdo outcast angle is the basis for a song I very much enjoyed from the early 2000s.
