The Satanic Screen: An Illustrated Guide to the Devil in Cinema

About this book

The Satanic Screen documents all of Satans cinematic incarnations covering not only the horror genre but also a whole range of sub-genres including hardcore porn mondo and underground film. ?? Heavily illustrated with rare still photographs posters and arcana the book 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. ?? Nikolas Schreck is the editor of The Manson File (1988) and director of the film Charles Manson Superstar (1989). He is a world-respected authority on occultism and true crime. ?
