One of my favorite moral panics was forDungeons & Dragonsback in the 80s. People feared thatD&Dwas corrupting children, turning them towards evil (and of course, SATAN). The movies title:Mazes & Monsters. The name of this episode, Mazes & Mutants, is definitely not a coincidence. *That might be the first time anyone has ever compared Raphael to Tom Hanks....
