Also, looking at the CoS website, I found a list of recommended books and films. Might be a good source to look into, though what an old Mr. Belvedere movie has to do with Satanism is a mystery for the ages.
They provide an interesting book list. The film list... I'm not so into. LaVey was very much into cheesy horror flicks and "B" movies, from what I can gather. I love the horror genre, but I'm not into the cheesy, over the top, almost comedic horror movies. Just not my taste.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
