Satanis: The Devil's Mass

The documentary features Anton LaVey, the founder of the Church of Satan, and his wife Diane LaVey as they engage in ritualistic practices associated with satanism. Noteworthy scenes include a black mass featuring a nude woman as an altar and a boa constrictor entwined around a witch, highlighting the provocative nature of their rituals.

In addition to the rituals, the film incorporates newsreel footage that showcases LaVey's interactions with his neighbors, including their reactions to his pet lion. The documentary aims to present an unfiltered look at the ideology of the Church of Satan, which promotes concepts such as guilt rejection, sexual freedom, and self-indulgence. This exploration of a controversial belief system makes it a unique entry in the documentary genre.
