Description
From the back cover: Satan has figured in film since the very birth of cinema. From Georges Méliès <em>The Devil's Manor</em> and Benjamin Christiensen's <em>Withcraft Through The Ages</em>, through the likes of Polanski's <em>Rosemary's Baby</em> to the millennial Schwarzenegger vehicle <em>End Of Days</em>, the Devil himself has appeared in hundreds of diverse movies. <strong>The Satanic Screen</strong> documents all of Satan's cinematic incarnations, covering not only the horror genre but also many examples of mainstream cinema, as well as a whole range of sub-genres including hardcore porn, mondo documentaries and underground film. Heavily illustrated with rare still photographs, posters and arcana, <strong>The Satanic Screen</strong> also investigates the perennial symbiotic interplay between Satanic cinema and leading occultists (for example Aleister Crowley), making it essential reading for anyone interested in the Black Arts and their continuing representation in populist culture.
