Theme: Devil Worship

Devil Worship or Satanism refers to the practice of worshipping The Devil. There have been screen depictions since the 1940s but the theme was popularised by the success of Rosemary’s Baby (1968).

Devil Worshippers are usually outfitted in black or red robes, chant rituals in Latin, engage in orgies and conduct sacrifices to further their objectives. These may sometimes require a human sacrifice or the corruption of an innocent. Often their goals are to either raise The Devil or impregnate an innocent woman in order to give birth to a Devil Child/The Antichrist.

Devil worshippers are secretive in nature and can often pose as neighbours, friends or husbands and wives before their true nature is revealed. They often have a secretive network that can stretch to hold positions of power and their influence can be spread throughout the country.
