Pacesetter Productions and Campside Media are teaming up to develop a true crime podcast titled Kelly and the satanic panicbased on the crazy true events following one of the most controversial cases of the 1980s that saw Kelly Michaels, a 23-year-old college student accused of Satanically abusing dozens of children in 1985 before being exonerated.
Considered the Monster of Maplewood, Michaels’ case was at the time the longest and most expensive in New Jersey history, and she was convicted and sentenced to 47 years in prison. The charges, which included outrageous acts such as forcing children to watch her play Jingle Bells on a preschool piano naked, were supported by New York elite such as Anna Quindlen. Michaels spent five years in prison before her exoneration.
The show will be a standalone story in Campside’s Infamous franchise, which is in its second year as part of Sony Music Entertainment’s The Binge. The first season saw journalists Vanessa Grigoriadis and Gabriel Sherman examine some of the most explosive scandals of this century.
The podcast, which launches on December 7, will provide access to Michaels. It will be hosted by Grigoriadis, one of Campside’s co-founders, and Natalie Robehmed, who wrote the Wondery WeCrashed podcast that was later adapted into an Apple series.
