Fright Fest 666: Fallen Angel Double Feature

We are back with our penultimate episode for this year's Fright Fest. That's right! We are almost to the end of our personal Satanic Panic, but before we check out, we have to take a look at two very different movies with two very different Devils at the center of them.
We're reviewing Angel Heart (1987), a noir detective horror story in which a private investigator takes a trip into darkness, and South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999), a musical about the South Park boys preventing a war with Canada and Satan's rise to power. 
Could they be any farther apart?! Or are they???
Tune in to find out, and as always, Hail Satan! \\m//

Chemma makes his triumphant return to help us discuss the Satanic Panic of the 1980s and some of the repercussions of this movement as it swallowed up reputations and spit them out on live tv for parents everywhere to become afraid of a completely fabricated boogeyman. 
We wrap up with our epic 20 song playlist: Supersexy Satanic Sounds.

The Satanic Panic has officially started!

Fright Fest 666: Satanic Panic Intro

It's the most wonderful time of the year! October is here and with it comes Halloween and a staple series here at The Occasionalists, Fright Fest!
It's our sixth edition and because of that, we were left with no choice but to take a trip to hell and focus this Fright Fest on the Prince of Darkness himself, Satan!
The first full episode of Fright Fest 666: Satanic Panic is on its way, but in the meantime, how about a little teaser episode and a lightning round question: 
What would you sell your soul to the Devil for?
