In the 1960s, Satanic Cinema took on a life of its own. Mostly left behind were the humorous portrayals and worn old tales that had already been told over and over again. New filmmakers were bringing the Devil to life onscreen through the works of Poe and H.P. Lovecraft and by way of both old curses and modern versions of witchcraft. But it would take Hammer Films – that bastion of gothic horror and vampires – to bring audiences the film that would kick off a diabolical series of movies that would soon terrify the world.

In this episode, we’ll be taking a deep dive beyond Roger Corman’s satanic Poe films into THE DEVIL RIDES OUT, the Christopher Lee thriller from 1967 with special guest, Orrin Taylor.
