Episode 668: Anton LaVey Part III - The Devil's Rain

About this episode

The episode explores Anton LaVey's rise with the Church of Satan and its cultural impact, including connections to Hollywood.

Marcus, Henry, and Ed return to the story of Anton LaVey as the Church of Satan enters the spotlight, crossing paths with Susan Atkins, Michael Aquino, and the heavily borrowed Satanic Bible. But as the rituals get bigger and the followers get weirder, LaVey finally makes it in Hollywood, where his influence reaches The Devil’s Rain and Mr. Show Business himself, Sammy Davis Jr.
