Where to watch Hysteria! online

Horror legend Bruce Campbell can’t catch a break when it comes to battling hell on Earth. No sooner is Ash vs Evil Dead banished to the beyond, Satanic panic rears its horned head. So keep reading as we explain how to watch Hysteria! online from anywhere in the world.

Set during the infamous period during the 1980s when Regan-era conservative parents became convinced their children were being lured into Satanism by board games and metal bands, Hysteria! charts the small town of Happy Hollow’s paranoia-infused descent into chaos.

When the star high-school quarterback goes missing, the townsfolk don’t need much to convince them occult forces are at play. So, when Dylan (Emjay Anthony), Jordy (Chiara Aurelia) and Spud (Kezii Curtis), better known as metal band Dethkrunch, decide to capatilize on the new craze by rebranding as a Satanic metal band, it’s no surprise they become the prime suspects in a series of kidnappings, murders and more.

So read on for how to watch Hysteria! online, from anywhere and potentially for FREE.

What can we expect from Hysteria!?

The official synopsis from Peacock says: "The series follows a town reeling from the disappearance of a beloved quarterback during the “Satanic Panic” of the 1980s. Seeing a jump in interest in the occult, a group of teenagers in a heavy metal band pretend to be Satanists to build a reputation. But soon, other bizarre events start occurring. Is it all fake or is there something more sinister, and potentially supernatural, at work?"

Co-creators Matthew Scott Kane and David A. Goodman add: "It’s about the thrills of being young, rebellious in spirit and aspirational at heart — and the horrors of growing up and realizing that the world you thought you knew has shifted beneath your feet. Our hope is that parents and children (of the appropriate age, of course) can enjoy the chills, the laughs, the music, and the heart of Hysteria! together. Growing up is scary. So is parenting."

What was the Satanic Panic?

The Satanic Panic of the 1980s was a period in which, due to the burgeoning popularity of games such as Dungeons & Dragons, the rise of heavy metal and an increase in pulpy and gory horror fiction both at the movies and in literature, Regan-era conservative parents believed their children were falling prey to satanic forces and the occult. This period has also been touched on in similar 'small town 80s America' shows such as Stranger Things.
