b"Snuff films are alleged murders filmed for the purpose of distribution, an urban legend that has been circulating since the porn wars of the 1970s. We'll explore the Manson Family rumor that first sparked the story, the hoax film that led to feminist protests, the Christian organization that laid the foundation, and a mysterious home movie found tied to a cluster of balloons. We'll also see what it all has to do with Winnie the Pooh as well as what it can teach us about how false stories can be used in a variety of ways by groups with different agendas.\\n\\nBecome a Patron and support our show!\\n\\nFollow American Hysteria on social media:\\nTwitter: @AmerHysteria\\nInstagram: @AmericanHysteriaPodcast\\nFind our merch at americanhysteria.com\\n\\nAmerican Hysteria is written, produced, and hosted by Chelsey Weber-Smith\\nSound design by Clear Commo Studios\\nResearched and edited Riley Smith\\nProduced and editing by Miranda Zickler\\nVoice Acting by Will Rogers\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
