In 1989, I met Anton LaVey for the first time. At this time in his life, LaVey was seeing only a select few people. For this film, I've met and interviewed some of them, to try and create a composite image of what he was really like, and what he meant to these people. It's a memory lane trip, filled with personal stories, dark humor, great music and never before seen material with the Black Pope himself.
Fundada en California, en 1966, por un exorganista y domador de leones llamado Anton Szandor LaVey, la controvertida Iglesia de Satán siempre ha estado sumida en el misterio, envuelta en escándalos y asediada por prejuicios morales. Una mirada inquisitiva a uno de los fenómenos más fascinantes del pluralismo religioso estadounidense.

Out of the spiritual chaos of the 1960s, more strange cults and unorthodox messiahs have emerged than ever. Charles Manson is seen as the annoying result of libertarianism of the 1960s - the Cain who murdered the Abel from The Love Generation. Or in the words of one commentator; "the Elvis of alienation."

Boyd Rice may well be the only person alive who's been on a first name basis with both Charles Manson and Marilyn Manson. His career has spanned more than three decades, during which time he has remained at the epicenter of underground culture and controversy.
Himself (The Weird World Of Weird)
A new collection of rarities and lost obscurities from Something Weird Video, one of which is a forgotten TV-pilot for a sitcom called "Rosie" that involves a grown man in a dog costume going home with a young boy. Then a TV special from the 70's called "The Weird World of Weird" where host Ralph Story takes us on a guide through the world of the occult. Next is "Follow That Skirt", a short film from 1964 that follows a gender confused man as he strangles and slashes the women he hates. The compilation wraps up with some recently uncovered footage of "The Smut Peddler", a lost nudie-cutie from '65 that involves a pervy publisher and a bevy of nude models.

But what is the Church of Satan? Who is Anton LaVey? Where is he from? Why does he do that? It does not take much to imagine the worst. Orgiastic ceremonies, where one revels in the blood of virgins, moonlight lamb sacrifices, noise concerts in the basement of a historical building… No, really nothing that amusing among the activities in the Church of Satan. Anton LaVey is nothing like a horned Charles Manson, and his path is all the more unexpected. Nick Bougas allows us to discover the artist, the musician, the philosopher, all through hallucinatory images retrieved from archives, making this rare documentary only two years before the author of the Satanic Bible disappeared.

"Satanism Unmasked" investigates the supernatural influence Satanism, witchcraft, and Dungeons & Dragons.
"The Devil Worshippers" investigates Satanism and focuses on allegations that there are satanic cults committing crimes and murders in the United States. “Police have been skeptical when investigating these acts, just as we are in reporting them. But there is no question that something is going on out there, and that’s sufficient reason for ‘20/20’ to look into it.”

El tema es el satanismo y la recreación de lo que supuestamente es el caso en la vida real de un asesinato e intento de asesinato de dos hombres adolescentes en Munich por un cuarteto de chicas que habían estado coqueteando en el culto al diablo. Durante el juicio que siguió, el abogado recurre a tácticas dilatorias mientras que la audiencia es con frecuencia interrumpido por las chicas que entraron en encantamiento, rabietas o posesión demoníaca.

The film is a study of Anton Szandor LaVey, leader of a cult of devil worshipers in San Francisco. He and his Church of Satan are shown performing a black mass, in which a nude woman serves as an altar and a boa constrictor wraps itself around a naked witch. Newsreel footage is included in which LaVey's neighbors are interviewed about the lion which he kept in his house until complaints resulted in the animal's removal to a zoo. The ideology of the Church of Satan is discussed--guilt rejection, sexual freedom, and self-indulgence.

Exploitation documentary, not to be confused with the Something Weird compilation of the same name, which amongst others contains a copy of this film.

Un concentrado mágico en forma de collage que representa un ritual en el que se invoca a Lucifer. Considerada como una de las más demoníacas películas de Anger, es también un ejemplo perfecto del trabajo de este cineasta, uno de los malditos de la contracultura norteamericana que trabaja en esta ocasión con Mick Jagger o Anton LaVey.

In pop culture, there are near-unanimous ideas of devil-worship and what exactly 'Satanism' is. Because of this, I wanted to explore where these concepts originated from and the psychology of why people gravitate to the concept.
