The Acid King of Long Island

Show Notes: In 1984, a brutal murder in the woods of Northport, New York shocked the nation and ignited a moral panic that still echoes today. In this episode of The Devil Within, we dive into the dark and chaotic life of Ricky Kasso—the so-called “Acid King”—whose obsession with the occult, drugs, and Satanic symbolism spiraled into violence. From his troubled upbringing to the infamous killing of his friend Gary Lauwers during what some called a ritual sacrifice, we separate myth from fact and explore the real horror at the heart of the legend. 🎧 Press play and enter a nightmare of paranoia, moral hysteria, and true evil. 📩 Got a story tip or want to share your thoughts?
