In one of the biggest what the hell (no pun intended) moments of my childhood, one of the more disturbing appearances of Satan in a movie came when Satan inexplicably and damn creepily showed up in the claymation kids movie called The Adventures of Mark Twain. Don't believe me it's creepy, look a clip up on YouTube.


That is my favourite part of that movie.
Hail to thyself
For I am my own master
I am my own god
I require no shepherd
For I am no sheep.

Also, here's a reference I'm sure you guys can ID but there was this vivid color movie, not feature length, from circa 1928, in which the devil was in Hell making it sound like such a cool place to be people were going to a club and sliding down into Hades. The devil's secretary wore a bright red Jazz Age short dress, the devil was on the phone a lot, and Al Capone was referenced. Know which film I mean?

MADAM SATAN (1930) ?

Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)
Interviewer-"Does Dracula ever end for you?
Lugosi-"No. Dracula-never ends."

Is it Madam Satan? The film referenced sounds very familiar and very awesome! I'd love to track down whatever it is :)

 ^I think ER is referencing some real obscure s**t. 
I don't think it's MADAM SATAN (1930) she said what she seen was a short film.
That would be a chore to dig up what old black and white short that is!

Yeah I'd be curious though :) I looked up the Madam Satan summary and it doesn't sound like what is described in the first post at all. I was hoping it was right though since it would be easy enough to find :)

Edit: And I'm already pretty sure I found it! The Devil's Cabaret (1930). YouTube has some clips, but I haven't found the full thing online anywhere yet.

I think it is The Devil's Caberet, and TCM runs it sometimes. Definitely worth seeing.
What does not kill me makes me stranger.

When I saw the title for this thread the first movie title that jumped into my brain was "To the Devil a Daughter" starring Christopher Lee and Nastassja Kinski. Its been a long time since I've seen it, so not sure how good its stood up to the test of time.

I think my favourites are "The Omen" (original) and John Carpenter's "Prince of Darkness".

The first one is a must-see if you are into classic movies. If not, you may find it too tame.

The second one is... unusual, even if you've seen other Carpenter films like "Halloween". It involves a group of scientists studying a container that, according to ancient lore, may contain Satan. I've come to like it over repeated viewings, but it's pretty weird.
Due to the horrifying nature of this film, no one will be admitted to the theatre.

I think it's more like the container holding the Anti-Christ, but that's the gist of it. It was really scary when I first saw it as a teenager. When I saw it again decades later as an adult, not so much.
