If your high schooler loved Stranger Things but wants something with sharper teeth and significantly more blood, Hysteria! delivers. Set in the late 1980s, it follows three outcast kids in a failing heavy metal band who decide to embrace fake Satanic branding after the varsity quarterback vanishes. The joke works to get them attention—until actual bodies drop and the town turns on them with pitchforks.
The show has a blast tearing apart the historical 'Satanic Panic' era, showing how adults in panic often do far more damage than the teenagers they are accusing. But make no mistake: this is TV-MA horror. It packs graphic gore, disturbing body horror, and dark themes that belong strictly on the mature end of the teen spectrum.
