One of the classics, if Church Basement Videos have "classics."
This one is the absolute epitome of satanic panic propaganda. It has "experts" and everything.
When I first saw this community had been created, I knew I had to post this video. I'd watched it a while ago. But in the few days between when I decided I'd post it and now as I'm actually posting it, Contrapoints on Youtube released an absolutely amazing in-depth video analysis of the phenomenon of conspiracy theories in which she referenced (1:38:06) the Law Enforcement Guide To Satanic Cults.
TW: child abuse. Because, of course, it's satanic panic propaganda.

A classic.
Keep in mind how much of the Satanic Panic was spurned by people like Mike Warnke and Michelle Smith.
Mike Warnke was a complete and utter fraud. Christian journalists discredited him completely in The Satan Seller. Everything he said about his life was completely disprovable - and if he had actually been a high priest of Satan performing child sacrifices, probably should be in jails anyways, right?
Michelle Smith, of Michelle Remembers is even more fucked up. Her therapist got her to reveal hidden memories of ritualistic baby sacrifices and satanic sexual abuse through hypnosis. They were both married at the time to other partners IIRC and ended up married to each other after “therapy.”
Or how the folks at Martin Daycare ended up in prison based on the testimony of children “testifying” about being flown on broomsticks to be diddled while watching other kids get offed.
