This week we unwrap the spectacle that was Anton LaVey—the self-styled “Black Pope” who turned occult theater into a movement. From alleged circus days and media stunts to San Francisco’s infamous Black House, we track how LaVey founded the Church of Satan and packaged sin as brand strategy. We dig into what the church actually taught, why the shock wore off, how satanic panic hit back, and what splinter groups came next. This one’s about image, power, and the line between belief and performance.
