Satan, it would appear, likes the big screen. He has figured in film since the very birth of cinema and has since featured in hundreds of films, both marginal and mainstream. The Satanic Screen is the first comprehensive study of the Devil's cinematic incarnations, covering over a century of film: including Disney, horror classics such as The Exorcist, and sub-genres including sci-fi, mondo, porn and even westerns. Fully illustrated with complete filmography.
