A stand out in my Holloween Netflix queue, SATANIS THE DEVIL'S MASS is a docu-something about Anton LaVey and his little church released in 1969, a period in time when everything looked ugly. And boy does it look ugly. Compare this to the Anton in THE DEVIL'S RAIN or the better realised THE DEVIL RIDES OUT or the super trippy ROSEMARY'S BABY scenes of devil worshiping wack jobs and it all becomes a surreal stew of strange cultish bits that become something of self parody. Yeah, they use a nekkid lady for the alter, and they also wear holloween masks and goonie robes. Very difficult to take seriously on any level.
