Fangoria and director Chelsea Stardust‘s Satanic Panic arrived on DVD and Blu-ray courtesy of RLJE Films this week, but several horror fans have pointed out an interesting title change that’s taken place for the release in Walmart stores. Remember when Walmart turned Deathgasm into Heavy Metal Apocalypse? Well they’ve now turned Satanic Panic into…Panic.
Yes, the word “Satanic” has been removed completely from the horror-comedy’s title for Walmart’s Blu-ray slipcover, though the art underneath lists off the film’s proper title.
If you want to pick up a copy from Walmart for the novelty value, be our guest. But if you’d prefer having the uncensored cover in your collection, you can grab it off Amazon.
Who knows, maybe the “Panic” cover will someday be a collector’s item!
Go grab your SATANIC PANIC … variant cover (?) at Walmart, I guess.

Hayley Griffith stars as a pizza delivery girl who has to fight for her life — and her tips — when her last order of the night turns out to be bougie, high society Satanists in need of a virgin sacrifice. Rebecca Romijn stars as Danica, the leader of a cult with Arden Myrin appearing as cultist Gypsy, Danica’s right-hand woman.
In the film…
“Times are tough for Sam. Already a cancer survivor at twenty-two, she eeks out a meager existence delivering pizza for minimum wage—and minimum tips—while dealing with an exploitative boss and obnoxious coworkers. When the final delivery of the night promises to take her to a wealthy neighborhood with the chance of a healthy tip, she takes the opportunity to make up for an unprofitable shift. What begins as a quest for cash ends up as a quest for survival, though, when it turns out her customers aren’t who she’s used to delivering to. Instead, they’re a Satanic cult of a very different color: high-society elites for whom worshipping the Dark Lord coexists with country clubs and casseroles.“
Grady Hendrix wrote the film with Ted Geoghegan (We Are Still Here).
Fangoria’s Dallas Sonnier produced with Cinestate’s Amanda Presmyk. Phil Nobile Jr. executive produced, with Aperture Entertainment also producing.
