A film by Nick Bougas.
Having had his fill of the world's relentless mediocrity, hypocrisy
and repression, Anton LaVey declared war in 1966 by shaving his head
and founding the Church of Satan. His literary blueprint for
responsible self-indulgence, The Satanic Bible, soon sold millions of
copies worldwide thus generating decades of media furor and
Judeo-Christian wrath. But, as revealed in his presentation, LaVey's
detractors remain largely fanatical and uninformed and continue to
attribute foul practices such as ritual animal sacrifices to his
church, when, in truth, the nature-loving LaVey was an outspoken
animal activist long before it was fashionable.
Speak of the Devil explores dozens of other myths and misconceptions
about Satanism and its "Black Pope"... in this, his first
feature-length documentary in over twenty years, Anton LaVey will
offer a rare and treasured glimpse into his private world and share
remembrances of his many fascinating careers, which include stints as
a lion tamer, theatre organist, crime photographer, and psychic
investigator. You'll tour the fabled "Den of Iniquity" where the
maestro gives stirring concerts amidst a host of artificial human
companions, designed and constructed by his own magical hands...
you'll also meet a colorful array of LaVey's acolytes and admirers
who have descended into his expansive labyrinth of ideas and
practices, only to resurface far better equipped for the age-old
struggle ahead.
