No, I've simply set the record straight on various topics that he or his post-1975 adherents chose to deliberately distort for their current crop of suckers. If the truth embarrassed or irritated him/them, _sic semper Procrustes_. My interest (or "bias") remains the historical record, reputation, and dignity of the 1966-75 Church of Satan, which I regard as both sacred and authentic. >You once posted an article (I believe with the intent >to show LaVey's pre-1975 beliefs) to alt.satanism ... Actually I have posted several such comments over the years. I do not keep these on file. You might try DejaNews, which I understand keeps past newsgroup posts almost indefinitely. >If they are coming from the producers through the >Schrecks, then yes, I would at least question the >reliability. Castle's discussion of the film is from his own book, as referenced, which you can read for yourself. If you doubt the Schrecks' account of Gutowski, you might want to ask him yourself before questioning their veracity. As to the suit, I (as tech advisor to Studio One Productions for _Satan's Asylum_) recommended that they obtain it for their film, which they did (on the condition that they use a different head for it). There is no way Anton could have fit into it; it had to be worn by a woman (who fell flat on her face from the weight during Take #1 ... not the best way for Abaddon to make an entrance!). If you want to see a really awful film, you probably couldn't do worse than _SA_, which was Studio One's first venture beyond local TV commercials in Louisville. They invited me to write the script and do the set for the final ritual scene, which went more or less OK, except for the somewhat- less-than-thunderous diction of the Satanic priest and the struggling of the sacrificial girl to free herself from ropes that her toes had to keep from falling off her. :-) But the rest of the film made it a good runner-up to _Plan 9 From Outer Space_. Start with the paunchy hero's yellow plaid bell-bottoms. Continue to the scene where he dumps a severed human head on the sheriff's desk: "See, I *told* you there's something wrong up at the asylum!" Sheriff doesn't blink an eye: "Yup, guess you're right." _Encore_ sheriff, reaching behind him to the closest file-drawer to his desk: "Specter ... yes, we got him for devil-worship about 10 years ago ..." And you will see a [preliminary sacrifice] girl having a terminal wrestling-match in a swimming pool with rubber snakes, another one attacked by rubber spiders and centipedes ... the only thing missing was Jar Jar Binks. _Asylum of Satan_ is available on video as United Home Video #7127. The case subtitle says it all: "LOVE SLAVES OF SATAN TORTURED TO BLOOD-DRIPPING DEATH". You'll see "Church of Satan" in the closing credits, which in this case was the Nineveh Grotto ... I'm still waiting for the SFX Oscar ... Michael A.
